high gear

WOW! The Davis Herd had been livin' life in high gear. I do believe we are gone more than we are home. A few things that have been keeping us busy are:

RODEO.
This is Dexter's first year as an IRCA card holder so we've been hitting the trail hard. Although he's managed to stop the clock with some good times he has yet to fill his pockets with the green stuff. We're learning the importance of being a good winner and loser and realizing what it means to be driven to accomplish something.

FAMILY.
It had been awhile since we had seen Ms. Baylee so it was great to have her around for a couple of days last week. While she was here many hours were spent in the pool and at the pond.
We're also nearing the celebration of a beautiful relationship. Saturday, July 31, Ashley Butler will marry Nick Gardner. The boys have been fitted for tuxedos, bridal showers have taken place and now we're counting the days until the main event. The boys are ready to boogie, really!

CYCLING.
It's nearly time for my annual vacation. RAGBRAI. I've been logging a few last minute miles, shopping for a new and improved hopefully waterproof tent, and packing for my Saturday departure. I know it seems completely insane to most but.... I CAN'T WAIT!
