Little Miss Con-junk-tiv-eye!!!

Yep, today we received the blessed news that our child has pink eye! UGH!! I feel so bad for her swollen, goopy eye. It looks painful. On top of that, she has another ear infection. The doc thinks it is due to fluid build-up which is due to the allergies. If you live in Oklahoma and don't have allergies of some sort you must be superhuman.

We did find out that she has grown 1 1/2 inches in the 6 weeks!! CRAZY! She is now 26.5 lbs. and 33 1/2 inches. Just perfect if you ask me! Oh, you didn't ask? Well, can I help that I love my child!!

Just for kicks, here is an up close look at Bull tongue!! You know you like it!! HA!!

Just call me "Kat"

X-Tra Snippet
A Current Picture of Me (On Vacation)
I have literally been workin' my tail off. Long story short - I have lost about 20lbs. and 5% body fat in the last 2 months...I hope to soon share the story with you about my journey.

I miss my community of blog pals. I still read all of your blogs but find it difficult to comment, post, build a house, work the horses, clear the land, etc. etc......

Cameo-I did get your email about the girls families and would love to talk to you. Can you email me your phone number. I'm so sorry I haven't responded sooner!!!

MUCH LOVE,
Shannon

All Grown Up

The toddler train is coming way to fast. My baby isn't a baby anymore....

Relaxing in the Mountains

Well, we are here. I will end Cameo's pain and anguish. I will reveal where we are on vacation. We are in Colorado, nestled in a nice warm condo, deep in the Rocky Mountains. It is so beautiful and relaxing. Today we just chilled out and took a short drive to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We spotted several elk.

There isn't anything like standing in the shadow of a mountain and seeing a herd of elk walk out from the trees. The big bulls always bugle for attention from the females. I love it!

Here are a few pictures of the past couple of days. Tomorrow we head into the park again for some backpacking!

On our way to Colorado we stopped by to see our herd of Texas Longhorns. The next couple of pics are of Analise and I out in the pasture.


Analise and Daddy by the Fraser River.

Analise placed just so in the tall grass. Isn't she so beautiful?

This is one of the big bull Elk we spotted at the park. Don't you just love telephoto lenses?

This is what happens when your husband takes the camera! A picture of Elk poop! I thought it was hilarious!!


More of our mountainous adventures tomorrow!!

We've Got A Trail To Blaze

So, we have been really busy and not busy blogging! We leave this Saturday for vacation and super pumped! No promises on pictures but who knows what will happen.

Finally, they have started dozing the trees down on our land. It is amazing to see the change. Here's a little snippet for your perusing.

Analise spent some time at Kya and Jagger Jet's house. We were all celebrating Jagger's first birthday!

Analise also enjoyed her first carousel ride at Casa Bonita. It was one of her Daddy's favorite restaurants when he was little.
