Cowboy Gabriel

Gabriel now has his own saddle for riding Jack! We bought it a few months ago at a yard sale and last week had the stirrups adjusted to fit Gabriel. It's perfect now and should last for several years! Here's our little cowboy riding his pony...

Fort Worth Rodeo 2012

Last Monday we went to the rodeo in Fort Worth. It had been 5 years, last time we went, Gabriel was 2 months old!

 This time he was old enough to enjoy the show :)

 Gabriel's favorite part: the trick riders. He kept saying 'Oh wow! Oh wow!'

 

 

 Exhausted!

And some pictures of Gabriel and Nibbles...

 

New Year!

Here are the first pictures of 2012...

Riding Jack

 Where's Gabriel?

 We've been making our own flour! Here are some hard red winter wheat berries...

When you can't afford an electric grain mill, it's good to have a 5-year-old with lots of energy around!

 

 After separating wheat germ and bran from the flour...

 Got a chicken killer! This bobcat killed a chicken right in front of Cary!
