Loren is selling his beloved bike...any takers?? ;-) 

Amazingly enough it was actually snowing here at our condo when I took this picture. Too bad the snowflakes aren't visible. Still, the fact that it was snowing when it is about 60 degrees outside is pretty amazing!!!! Enough so that I had to document it!!! 

The View From Above..

Sven also was chosen to compete during the 3rd quarter...he got to be right down on the field next to the players!!!!

Lean and Green...

Saint Patricks Day at the Las Vegas Gladiators arena football game with a group of our friends. Loren was chosen to participate in a relay race during a timeout during the 2nd quarter. It was a photofinish, but Loren was a gentleman and let the middle-aged woman he raced against win...at least thats the story he's sticking to!!

Crashed and Burned...Literally!

After the branding Dad gets some much needed rest. Mom and I weren't feeling too lovely when Loren took this pic. Mom was sunburnt and I was even more swollen the day after surgery!! Ugh!!

Get em' Cowboys!

Loren and Dad took care of this little "dogie"!! He looks small but those calves sure are strong!!!

Whoa There!

Loren...watching the "real" cowboys at work!! And it looks like he's doing a little horse whispering too...

A Cowboys Best Side Is His Backside!?

Can you see Loren in there? Dad's on the left showing him how to hold the calf's legs while you switch the rope from its head to its hooves.

Home On The Range....

Feb. 25th... Loren's first Grant branding. He'd never been to a branding where they actually roped the calves before. So.. after observing the technique for flanking calves a few times (picking up a calf and throwing it down after its been roped..gently of course!)...Loren jumped right in!!!

Not So Lucky....

Feb. 24th..Maybe some girls ARE born lucky. But I was pretty sure it wasn't me when Loren took this pic. about an hour after I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I was very drugged up and feeling like I was floating in another universe!!
