Tuckered out with Summer

The new guy in town...I've named our newest bull calf, born August 23, Tucker. His mom came up to the feed trough, but he would NOT come out from the shade...can't say I blame him...but he's another red cutie just like his big ol' papa...AND he tuckered me out standing in that hot sun trying to get him to say "cheese"!
look at that little hump...awwwww....

finally, his cousin Delilah coaxed him out...Tucker is on the left, Delilah on the right.

talk about multi-tasking...

Last Saturday's riding lesson...Gracie & Frost are ready to hit the dusty trails...good thing they did...those same trails are muddy now!

This is the stuff this little girl's dreams are made of...

Then, that afternoon was Sergio's little girl's 3rd birthday party - Happy birthday, Mariana! Slides, swings, bouncers and cool water to relax in...what could be better? You'll see...

wait for it...

wait...

hey...what's that?

Mari happens to LOVE helicopters, so her Daddy arranged for her to have an up-close view!

All of the kids got a big kick out of it -

No resemblance at all, huh? :) Mari's soaking it all in...

Gracie and pilot's companion...

cupcakes and gifts...

This look is from Jack telling her that all of the presents were his...I think I might have a look similar to this :)

Lettin' off some steam...

...to the complete and utter delight of one little redhead...

Do you see that? He doesn't wanting me horning in on his action...yeah, we'll just call you Jack Flash, mister big shot! :)

this looks like an accident waiting to happen, but it turned out alright...

Come on, guys, show me what ya got!

If I could fly like that, I'd show off, too!
