Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

Today, I'm participating in a link-up at Like Mother, Like Daughter called Pretty, Happy Funny Real.

I grabbed these photos of the brand new calves and their mommas last week before we went to Santa Fe.  I can't think of a baby animal I love more than a brand new calf.  Maybe it's because we spent part of our childhood bottle feeding a few?  Or maybe it's because they really are just that cute.  Whatever, the reason, I'll never tire of Spring and new life on the ranch.

While we were gone, my parents took the boys to the volunteer fire department they are a part of, just to see the rigs and to do something new.  There isn't anything about firemen and fire stations that these boys don't love.  I am a little surprised that they got that mask on Peter, but they did, and there were three very happy boys because of it.

Funny leads to real.




The boys got a $10 Valentine and we agreed to let them go to the toy store.  Carter picked out this Nerf dart gun, so Peter did, too.  Jeremy is teaching him how to shoot it.  If I'm being real, I know this is a toy gun, and we grew up with real guns in the house, but I hate guns.  Yes, I think they are necessary where we live, and I believe in the right to bear arms 100%.  I just don't want to start the boys on them too early.  What is that?  I don't really know.  For now, the Nerf guns are all we need.


Seems like it's been a quick week around here.  Here's hoping you have a great day full of all of the above!
