Random thoughts and pictures

I'm doing some major clean up on my computer with a few years worth of photos. So, the next post or two will be very random pictures that I am sharing before I upload them to an online place and delete them from my computer. The one above is from last December at Ian's college graduation. The only reason I am putting it on here is because I recently realized how many of my relatives from other states look at our blog. It occured to me that they might like to see pictures of Michelle now and then! :) After all, I'm the one they have known and watched grow since I was a child. So, Ruthie, Carolyn, Loretta, Vicki, any one else that is out there and looks in...here's one of me. :) And...I'm SO glad to think of you all peeking in on us. :) This isn't even that great of a picture, but as I look for a picture of me for you, I see how few there are....perhaps we'll remedy that. :)
This one is hilarious when you know the story. The girls had picked up their room - it was clean as a whistle. I was so proud of them and praised them highly for their effort....then I looked under their beds! I pulled out everything under the beds....and this was what their room looked like then!
This was at the ranch rodeo a month or so ago. One of Shane's friends at school was there too - and I thought it was cute to watch them watch and talk about the rodeo.
Meanwhile, Sadie was in her own little paradise in the stands. Blue gatorade adn cheetos. Who cares if Daddy's team wins or not? As long as the treats are good, we'll be there! :)
Speaking of Daddy....here he is with a new pair of chaps he built for himself. When I looked at this picture I wondered how many pictures I saw in Mom's photo albums over the years of Dad modelling a pair of chaps or chinks he had made? They do say you marry a man like your father.....there might be some truth to it! :)
