Getting Cattle up with Daddy

Every year around this time we gather up the calves and take them to the city. This year Daddy and Papa had a little helper. He loves ridding in the truck and hollering "hooooo" for the calves to come closer. He is quite the little rancher.

Merry Christmas!

This year we were blessed to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus in our new home with the McPhersons and then went to STL for some more fun. John Thomas was a lot of fun this year as he really enjoyed visiting with family and all of the other joys of Christmas. We put the tree up this year as John Thomas took a nap, when he awoke and saw the tree he looked up and said, "Wooooow!" I knew from that moment on that we were going to cherish this special time of the year.

Party Time!

Is that for me??

They had a blast opening gifts.

Welcome to the World Ryder and Rowan!

This past week we welcomed our nephew, Ryder and niece, Rowan in to the world! They were a little earlier than expected but are growing bigger and stronger everyday. Shandy and Kelly are amazing parents. Hopefully we will get to hold the newest blessings soon.

Big 12 Championship Game! Boomer Sooner!

Daddy received an early Christmas present when we found out that the Sooners would play in the Big 12 Championship Game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

We could not miss the big game, so off to Dallas we went!

Nanny and Papa met us there to help cheer the Sooners to Victory.

John Thomas loved the Cowboys Stadium, aka Jerry's World.

It was a great match up. Daddy was a little nervous.
