Roundup at the Reeds

Back in August, Dad asked if the grandkids that were in town could come and help him move the two calves from the back corrals to the front pasture.

Don't worry folks, the sticks were used for guiding and directing the calves so they wouldn't run past the kids in the wrong direction.

I think that Devin just talked to himself the whole walk up front. He didn't even care that he wasn't in the middle of all the action.

Traveling Family Style

This is how we traveled "family style" to the Bear Reunion. Just kidding! We were getting ready to go and all the kids piled into Brittany's suburban to watch a movie and we couldn't resist taking a picture!

Our visit to Chatterbox

For Mom's Birthday, we took her to Chatterbox to look around. We all walked out of that stores with boots. Mom bought a pair, so did I, and Brittany and Briley, and even Ben! Then we went next door and bought some Thrifty ice cream.

We tried our best to keep the boys contained. So we found a chair in the dressing room and they sat there for awhile (probably because they liked posing for the pictures). Whatever works!

Wes and Brittany's Family

The Miner Calf

Wes cornered the calf and threw it on the ground in no time.
Dayton did such a good job holding the body down.
Thank goodness for Larissa for helping Briley hold the legs.
Colton did his part by holding the ear. You never know when that ear could escape!
Brittany was the official brander.
Wes rode the calf after it got up. Doesn't it look like he landed right on his bottom from this picture? Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that he landed on his feet.

Happy Halloween

While Brittany and Colton were visiting this past weekend, my boys had a Halloween Carnival at their school. So they all dressed up and had a fun time at all the different booths and eating pizza and nachos. We had 3 batmans, Captain America, a knight (that fights dragons) and a pirate. They had a lot of fun!

Frye Mesa

James came up to visit Wes and Brittany in Thatcher and we took him to Frye Mesa. This is where the snow melts from Mount Graham and flows into this big box canyon. Wes and James climed up this big cliff and found a bueatiful waterfall. It was very cold water.
This is Wes cliff jumping. Looks pretty scary to me.
This is James jumping off the cliff. In this picture you can tell how high the cliff was that they jumped off.
Here is Dayton, Briley, and Colton watching Daddy and James jumping off the cliff. We had a great time with Uncle James
