I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Highlights, Part Deaux

My Sister visits, and finds out that though I say I've been working, Life is just fun

See the similarity? Though she definitely looks more civilized than I.

The Wildlife cooperated as usual, and I got to show her around.

Wayne's sister came to visit, with husband and friend. THAT was a fun day on the lake that I think maybe I mentioned once or so

I took this of this fawn from the boat.

Couldn't help it, we swam~

Marshmallow gets another fan.

Horses try to sneak in the barn.

When someone wants to ride, they ride

We have admirers of all kinds

And finally a horse does sneak in the barn!

I'm pretty happy that I got to meet Tom Davis. He is 97 years old, and irrigates hundreds of acres of pasture by hand. Trust me, I've seen him do it. Gives new meaning to keep on keepin' on huh? Everyone should have that kind of work ethic. He is the Grandson of Tom and Julia Davis, who donated the land that the Julia Davis Park in Boise is on. The stories he can tell were fairly spell binding. Of course, I like old history like that. But he talks of riding horseback from Boise up to the ranch we were on. Taking 2 days in a snow blizzard, with his sister.

My sister sees another part of what we do

Scout makes a new friend

My sister's Dog, McKenna couldn't help barking and wanting into the corrals where we were sorting to ship. So, she had to stay inside, But she looks cute!

Two Wonderful men.

Sharon had visitors from California, of course she brought them to us! Who doesn't benefit from going back to basics? We just take them along working with us.

I did say they were from California.... so handling a barbed wire gate can be tricky...but we make them do it!

The rewards are endless: All you have to do is look

I'm pretty sure he got some good shots

ahhh yes! The High Tech boat on the aforementioned lake

Again, the wildlife helps out, and who doesn't love to see the baby?

I think they enjoyed

Again, if you want to ride, you ride

Our Twin Granddaughters come up with Megan, I'm pretty sure they enjoyed themselves

Megan rides with her Daddy

And again... they ride

Megan and I do a "photo shoot"

I was asked to photograph a Rugby Game. I found they are very fun and somewhat crazy!

Al's Mom, Wendy gives me a what for look ... wish I could say I slapped it off her face, but alas, I didn't!

Al and Marshmallow are in their 1st Rodeo. A Grandma doesn't get a lot more proud than I was. And I think I can speak for Grandpa to say he was too!

Al gets bucked off her 1st steer, only to land on her feet. Ya know the saying "Always comes out smellin' like a Rose"?... that's her

Jilly and I

Evan and Al

Of course Bryce HAD to ride

Jilly was in HER 1st Rodeo. Won't be her last. She'll be ready to go it alone next time. We were just being cautious.

Scarey, but never actually crashed

My Nephew gets married to a wonderful girl

Marshmallow and I were in our 1st Play day together with long time friend Michelle

This girl had a great ride, and didn't come off

we won the "Egg Race"!

Strange things happened

Got to spend time in Nevada's San Jacinto

LOVE those Fall Colors

We get to ride in an indoor arena for our lessons, and I got to ride my old horse Eclipse, Though he is Sharon's now

Good friends, good horses, perfect

Bryce turns 3 !!!

Another trip to the San Jacinto, and got to know Charles (from Belgium) Wouldn't have wanted to miss that.

Grandsons work with us, and learn about Signature Rock

Cash turns 5

We had a Snow Day

Penneys had her first puppies

We had a magnificent Bonfire

Goblins showed up to scare us on Halloween

Not sure, but we think something magical happened

lesson kids join with my grandkids

My Son turns 29

Marshmallow says

It's been a great year!

I know I've missed stuff, so I'll no doubt be back. This is all I got last night.

Wonderful photos as always and as always lots of fun to share with us.

I think I might know how your Grandson Bryce got hls name. I used to help my friend clean that office a long time ago when it was in that big old victorian house which now sits over by East Elementary

Not sure which old Victorian house you're referring to..

-- Posted by jessiemiller on Wed, Jan 18, 2012, at 2:08 PM
I just love the pictures and re-caps. I am going to try to do that myself.

Thank you for your support last night.

No problem.... glad I was there for ya

And glad you like this blog

The one that used to sit across from the post office

-- Posted by MsMarylin on Wed, Jan 18, 2012, at 3:58 PM
ahh... yes, I know which one you are referring to. My Dad worked with Bryce for awhile.

But my Grandson Bryce is in no way/shape/or form named after him. I hope no one else thinks that!

LOL

I've known BT for years obviously ...and just my personal opinion..I don't care alot for him

-- Posted by jessiemiller on Wed, Jan 18, 2012, at 4:10 PM
LMBO, Have known BT since he was in the AF and was here when he moved that old house over to N 10th. After I retired from the AF he was the first person I ended up work for on houses.

I knew your Dad was there with BT and I not only helped a friend clean there, I also had another friend that worked there. My boys did yard work and I sometimes helped them.

Thanks Bo, I appreciate your comment. My photography is starting to kind of take over my life ..in a good way!

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with her riding the steer, but I had to take a step back and let it be. As it was, she learned...well, nothing! or something... LOL, she's a toughie!

And I love Idaho too!

My dad didn't like us girls to ride steers either. A bucking pony yes @ the Miniature Rodeo at Fair time.

He always said that the steer would never hesitate to step on you, but a horse would go out of its way to avoid doing so.

I don't think that I am as brave and tough as your granddaughter. But girls these days seem to have something extra.

-- Posted by KH Gal on Wed, Jan 18, 2012, at 10:30 PM
Ahhhh these steers are pretty gentle, they mostly are just running.... But she is a tough one!
