Fashion

I have to be honest. I don't know what to make of this. A one piece racing stripe shorty jumpsuit with full hoodie. I don't know dog, it's like some euro piece that I'm not feeling. You gotta bring some flavor. What.

Like any weed

Out here on the ranch, weed growth patterns are quite obvious. Under the shade of tree, weeds flourish. Out on their own, forced to deal with the elements...sparse at best. We get a week of rain, followed by blistering sun, back to chilly or mild. Not much pattern to the weather pattern up here in the mountains.

Interesting to note that young Caden's hair is growing according to nature's plan. Sparse and barely noticeable up top and on the sides, the elements are winning the battle. Glance back to the hinterlands near the rear collar and you'd think you found rogaine lane.

First came the mullet references.


We had a couple good laughs. But then came the Riff Raff comparisons.


Fearing for the worst, Gayle took matters into hand. Today Caden had his first haircut. Really it was more an inverse trimming of the bangs. But we saved a lock for the scrapbook and cancelled his membership to the redneck yacht club.

The Happiest Place on Earth

It was a day for fond memories of dear Katia. So we packed up and went for a day trip to one of her favorite places.




It was the little man's first outing in the new stroller. He's got a little Jimmie Johnson in him...loves speed.

After some strolling about we decided to take Caden on his first ride. What better to introduce the lil man to the chills of amusement park rides than a fast pace tour on the thriller...The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. We had a good 15 minutes in line with tension mounting. Caden took the anxiety of the unknown as cool as could be expected. He peed on my arm. Apparently Greg was downwind.

Freshly changed, wee C took to riding like a champ.



Various disney posings are a must on a day like this.


What do you think buddy...ready to try a big boy ride like Big Thunder???

Neither of us has a fresh change of clothes, so we better wait for next year.

Cheese

Hking to see the new colt

We decided to load up and take a walk. It was such a beautiful day, the sun was out...why not take advantage. Our neighbors welcomed a wee lil colt they named Gavi. He's just a day old when we went to visit.

Cattleman decides to horse around

Well we sold off all our longhorn cattle. Save the bull, Silver who is vacationing up with some young ladies in Ramona for a bit. So with all this land, what are we to do. I suppose we'll pasture some horses and see what we can learn.

A neighbor runs a boarding facility. Their trainer, Jesus Piris needed a place to pasture his mares and a couple others. Esta bien!

We took Caden down to look at the new animals.

Bouncing Baby Boy

Fear of Height...nope.

At Play

Decided to snap a couple morning at play pics. Since Gayle's off well before dawn, she doesn't usually see lil man in his morning pleasantries. He stores up all his cranky for the afternoon.

Nekid Fun

Goll dern that youngin shor likes paradin about in the altogether.

Super Sunday

Sorry for the delay. We packed up and spent the day in Coronado. Good eats, a couple sodas and a fine game. It was fun to see all the cousin kids at play.

Who ate all the pierogis?

In the end, Vadim and Boris were pretty grumpy.

Windows

Between two dogs and the lil buckeroo our windows take a beating.

Trailer

Duet

No one could steer us right, but mama tried, mama tried

All Eyes on DC

Hey lil buddy, you sure look nice. Whatcha all dressed up for?

Oh I see, you're all dressed up for the inauguration. That's plenty patriotic of you.

What's that? You're gettin bored with all that talk about a chicken in every pot?

Well just crawl yourself over here and climb up on my knee, we'll play mutton buster 'til you can't laugh anymore.
