A Working Project....

Here is our barn. We have come a long ways in just a few months (and believe me our muscles and bones can tell). Although there is still alot more work to be done, it is usable and hopefully the bunkhouse will be halfway completed in time for the wedding! When completed, it will be 8 stalls with a 12 x 12 feed room, and a 12 x 24 bunkhouse. We also have a front porch that is set up for taking Western Photos in, complete with wagon wheels, rope, spurs, and even a roping steer head.

APHA Kings Southern Pride aka "Biscuit"

This is Biscuit at 3 months old. She is shedding out to be a dark bay and she is quite spoiled!!! It is official, her registered name is APHA Kings Southern Pride. Her mom's name is Dixie and her dad's name is Pride, so that name fits her. Personally I wanted "Sop Er With A Biscuit", but Randy didn't go for that one....I don't know why!

Tehya's First Litter

Tehya has 3 little bundles of joy that will be going to their new homes in about 3 weeks. They were born on July 11th, 2005. I call the first one "Little Bug". Can you figure out why??? She reminds me so much of my Rusty.

Our Jack Pack

This is our Jack Pack. From left to right....Cowboy, Dipper, Tehya, Jesse James, and Maverick. They are all little bundles of energy!!!

Calling All Cowboys and Cowgirls - There's Going To Be A Wedding!

Throw on your cowboy hat, chaps, boots, and spurs and join us for a day of celebration! October 1st, 2005. The fun begins at 7:00 p.m. and lasts until the last one drops! Bring your horse trailers or bed rolls so you don't have to drive home in the wee hours of the morning!!! There will also be a Western Background for all our guests to have their Western Photos taken....be sure to dress the part!!! There will be a whole hog on the grill and lots of corn, green beans, and fixin's. Be sure to RSVP to 904-509-0891 so we'll have plenty for everyone!!!

Our Biscuit

Everyone keeps asking about current pictures of Biscuit. Well, this one was taken back in June. I will take some more current pictures after she gets through with her shedding out!

Cowboy

This is our newest addition to our farm. He is a Jack Russell born to our Maverick (mama) and Jesse James (daddy) on May 24th, 2005. Pictured here at 10 weeks old. Maverick had 4 puppies and this was the only male. Although we had no intends of keeping any of the puppies, Cowboy grew on us and has become quite spoiled. He even sleeps in the bed with us! He loves to play with our Labs (9 and 10 months old) and thinks that he is as "big as they are". Thank goodness he will never grow to be as big "as he thinks he is" and Sandie and Magnum take good care of him.

Our Couch Potatoes

These are our two couch potatoes...Sandie (yellow female) and Magnum (choc male). They will be a year old in September and October. This picture was taken after a long day of "barn building".

We'll call her CHANCE

On Memorial Day 2005, we found "Chance" at the auction in Starke. She is a 4 year old APHA mare named "Brothers Blessing". She is a nice addition to the Little Bit O Color side of the farm!!!

Happy Cinco De Mayo

At approx. 8:30 p.m. "Biscuit" came into our lives. We named her Biscuit because she looks just like Seabiscuit. No, we have not decided on her registered name yet, although I thought "Sop Her With A Biscuit" sounded too cute!!! Randy and I checked on Dixie as she was eating her dinner at 8:15 p.m. and then went into the house. 20 minutes later, there she was, at least half of her was.....she was still half way in and half way out. Randy had to remove the sack off of her back because she was trying to stand up when she was only half way out! It was a joy to actually be there to see it all. I wouldn't have missed it for the world! She was born on 05/05/05! By the way, the minute she delivered, Dixie got up and went right back to eating!

Our Barn Begins - February 2005
