New Family Member


Well we had an addition to the family this weekend of a sorts. Jenna got her new Gray Brahman heifer dropped of Saturday morning. She is still pretty scared so far. It was a very traumatic day for her. Taken off of her mother, off of the ranch, and worst yet through the traffic of Houston. That would be enough to scare anybody at times. We are keeping the two heifers up together for a few days to help Addison, (the new heifer) to get accustomed to her new surroundings. We will be busy with her the next two months. The TJBA State show is at the end of june and we plan on showing her there. Wish us luck with this little adventure.

JAWS!

Well we and by "we" I mean Jenna is a week and a half into her new braces. She was so pumped up and excited about getting them on. That wore off about two hours after they finished putting them on and the Tylenol wore off. Now mind you this is the first kid I have ever known of that actually "likes" going to the dentist. It was pretty touch and go for the first few days, but they stopped hurting about four days into it. It has actually been nine days so far but you can already tell the difference in her teeth. When she showed her pawpaw that they had already moved her front teeth, his quote was "no wonder she was hurting for the first four days!" After she had her braces put on that day she had the pleasure of watching her daddy/cry baby get some work done on his teeth. I think there probably still my finger nail prints in the arms of the dental chair. It was pathetic, but in my defense he did hit a nerve. I actually grabbed and jerked his hand away from my face. He decided to re deaden me at that point. Thanks. So the chompers here are all getting closer to good.
