Where the Hell is Quemado, New Mexico

I know this photo doesn't look like much
but Merr ran her first Barrel Race in 1968 on ole' Shorty here at the old Quemado New Mexico Arena. WOW you've come along way baby. They rebuilt the Arena this past year 2009 and we took Mylea to a Jr Rodeo there. We had a great time with the Penrods, and the Lunds. We hooked up our 3 Canopy's together and made your own bleachers. Lots of Laughs and memories.

All the way to Quemado New Mexico for a A Jr Rodeo. Mylea

and Leaf Getter were AWESOME they won 3rd in the
Barrel Racing and 4th in Flag Racing.

Rustyn Thomas McBride

Moving on into Grandparenthood?

Whoa and I do mean whoa! Richard and I are a bit overwhelmed with this new chapter that has been opened up in our lives this past week. Words cannot explain how we feel as reality sets in and we look at little Rustyn Thomas McBride. Emotions run wild as we recap the week and cannot believe how wonderful this small little person has changed all our lives in less than 1 week. Well done Amanda and Wes! Stay tuned for pictures.

Lyman Lake Fun

The Murphys and the Rogers met up with us at Lyman Lake for a Afternoon of fun, Food and Fishing. the weather was great and the dogs enjoyed the water.......you go Luna!

We took the Roping Dummy too. Wes caught a huge catfish and we hauled him home to the ranch. He must not of been as excited as we were, we never got him to the Pond. He died in the horse drinker. dummer.....We are so lucky to have neat place less than 15 minutes away. We are trying to enjoy more that is right in our back yard. Watch out Casa Malipais we are headed there for the 4th of July and hey it's only 10 minutes away!
