This is one of my favorite pictures of Code and I. This is so typical of us... we were always on our horses.. However - going barefoot is not to be practiced by my grandchildren. Apparantly my folks that it was acceptable! I hardly remember wearing shoes at all in the summer. Old "Spot" was quite a ride!
My Dad, I miss him so! Eric followed him around like a little puppy! They were always on some adventure and Shawn was trailing him too with tons of questions.
Calyja was so good with kids, but Bruce - another story! Shawn rode her like he had no fear at all. She was always so gentle with the kids.... Shawn was usually with the horses or mules when we traveled - they were his entertainment!
My Mom was so proud of Shawn and loved watching him in his sports. You cann tell by that French smile.... She was always a truly joyous person and loved everyone. And by the way, she loved to tease the boys.... I'm sure they have special memories of that!
Eric always had animals around him... Here he decided to snuggle with some baby pigs. He laid in the grass and they crawled up on him to get warm...
This little spotted puppy was Shawn's Christmas present from Santa. We named him "KC" after the KC Royals. He was so surprised to find him under Grandpa Guy's Christmas tree.
Eric in his football gear - he played sports too and was quite athletic as well! I high school he decided that music was a little more safe - and I agreed. Became quite a good drummer as well!
Bumpkin and Levi were the boys sidekick! Many hours were spent playing with them. Both were part of the rodeo and could run barrels to entertain the crowd. I might add that they were always a hit!
My mom and dad celebrating life - I do miss them- we had soooooooo many get togethers. Family - came first - everything else - a distant second!
Bruce in his clown makeup at a Kansas rodeo. He was a great entertainer - and funny!The kids would have enjoyed all his antics!
This was taken in Hawaii on our first trip in 1980. Just a few years ago!
