It's In the Jeans

The past few weekends I have met James at his folks in Lakeside, AZ and we have gone over to James' brothers so the boys could rope. While at the arena I was complaining to James' sister in law that after 3 years I didn't have a single picture of James' and I together. Well, I should have know better. If you have ever looked at her blog (see Cowboys and Sunsets link on the right), you know she has a thing for her husbands butt. Well, it looks like James and I have been pulled into the mix. When I asked to try to get a few pics of us this wasn't exactly what I have in mind, but maybe it's my better side! Regardless, even though it's dusty, and you can go home filthy, we have a great time.

Ropin' Around

What a great weekend! I drove to Phoenix on Thursday and James and I went to his folks house for the holiday weekend. In the mountains, with the trees, the breeze, a little rain and a whole of cooler weather. Spent Saturday & Sunday at James' brothers new arena (see link to Cowboys, Kids & Sunsets) and watched "the boys" and James' niece rope. I have waited for 3 years to get the chance to see him rope. And to get to watch him with his brother and niece was a bonus! Saw a wreck on the way home, everyone was fine, but it was scary trying to get stopped while pulling a trailer with a horse in it. I'm glad James was driving. Will be headed back this week for big ropin' and party at the arena. I have decided I like being gone from this Vegas heat.

Krazy Kids

I know this is my second post today, but it is the day before a holiday so business is really slow. I bought a new camera for my trip to Mexico and James' kids thought they should give it a try. I don't take pics like Jen or Kim whose blogs I have linked to mine (you should take a look), but then I didn't actually take this picture myself. We were riding around Phoenix in the truck and the kids were goofing off and took this one of themselves.

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER...

Since this post is about my grass, I had to type it in green. When James bought his parents house in Feburary of 2006 the grass was so nice. It was full and green, and there weren't any bare spots although their dog loved to push around a basketball or play fetch with any other kind of ball. Over the past few years, spots have started showing up that have died, and with my dogs-they have warn a few bare spots into the grass as well. Sooooo...Iwent to Home Depot (Hi Brit!) and picked up some seed and seeding soil along with some fertilizer and got to work. Here are some before pictures it will take a few weeks but I will post after pictures at a later date.
