*Branding 2011*

I have been a horrible blogger lately. This month has been crazy. Just busy busy busy. I am not complaining but, I do need to write some, if anything, just so I have some journal entries of this fun month.

This week has been jam packed with work, doctors appointments, craft get-togethers, and lots of cleaning. I was coming to terms with the fact that I wouldn't be able to make it to our winter range to help brand 1/2 of our herd. I was able to make it the last two years but I had to work when they first headed down and then I had no way to get there the last couple of days. I got a text from Joey's cousin Bri asking me if I would be able to go down with her for Friday and Saturday because they needed some hands. I was excited to actually get to go. (I did miss my good friend's baby shower and I am so sorry! I promise I have your presents and will get together with you soon!!!)

I was able to grab my camera for a few minutes to take some quick, sloppy pictures right before it started raining and when we were "slowing" down. So... enjoy :)
