Why Parents Drink

I thought this was so funny I had to post it...............

Why Parents Drink

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.
"Hello"
''Is your daddy home?" he asked.
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?"

The child whispered, "No."
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes"
''May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No"
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?"
'' Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?''
"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed a helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle... "ME"

Chantz at Ranch Roping Clinic


Chantz is on the left and that is Weston on the heifer.

Chantz has been working hard the last couple of months trying to earn $200 for his entry fee for the Ranch Roping Clinic a friend of my dads was having at his house. He has been doing extra chores around here and working extra helping gramps and grams. He was down to the wire earning the last $20 cleaning peoples corrals and horse trailers at my dads clinic the day before. He was so excited that he got to do it. He had a good time. Weston was in the clinic too, and had a blast! Chantz could tell you the name of all the roping shots, but I can't remember them all. I just know that his favorite is the Scoop Loop which is the shot he is throwing in the last picture.

Self Portraits




This is what happens when Sage gets a hold of the camera. Wow! She must have been really bored!

Hair Update




I forgot that I was supposed to post a picture of the results of Weston coloring my hair. So I had Chantz take some pictures. First he took a picture outside and I was SHOCKED...my hair looked kind of red. Then I had him take the picture in the house and it looked dark again. So anyway I'm not sure what my hair looks like! Kelli don't be surprised if I just happen to show up on your doorstep someday. Weston thinks he is now a professional and compliments me on my hair way more that he ever has. He says things like "wow your hair looks REALLY good, who did it, they did a GREAT job." This confidence is scaring me just a little.
