A Labor-less Labor Day Weekend

We had quite a fun weekend this past weekend with everything from roping to BBQ included.  Friday evening Wesley & I went out to look at some calves to purchase this fall, then decided it’d be best for us to pick up some Chinese food from our local Chinese restaurant for supper.  The Chinese food never disappoints as it was just delicious this time as it has been in the past! 

Saturday was our roping club’s roping finals & also a memorial roping that followed our year end roping.  Wesley participated in both ropings but was just shy of the money both times.  But, he had a good time roping & I had a great time taking video’s and pictures of him in action.  We invited our friends Clint & Sarah and their two little ones out for supper that evening so after the roping was over we headed home that afternoon to start preparing food.  Clint & Sarah arrived shortly after we did & we had a wonderful visit with the two of them.  We enjoyed delicious BBQ steaks & chicken with all the sides that night for supper.  Their baby (who’s 3 months old) is absolutely adorable & Jack (22 months) is at the age where he’s just so much fun.  He’s walking & talking & loves to try to repeat what you say to him.  He had a long day Saturday so that evening he crawled up in his “Tippy’s” (me) lap & I rocked him to sleep before they loaded up to go home. 

We didn’t have any real plans on Sunday at all, but got a call from Clint inviting us to come roping at their place, so we loaded up a couple horses & away we went.  They planned on having a little BBQ after the roping, so I whipped up some homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to take with us before we headed out for the day.  While the guys roped Sarah & I got to catch up and it was wonderful!  We hadn’t been able to talk like that in so long so it was nice for us to have some uninterrupted girl time together!  That evening Sarah & Clint cooked up some delicious hamburgers & fixings & we enjoyed each other’s company well into the night that night.  I believe by the time we got home it was pushing 1 AM…very late for us!  But, it was worth it.  It was so fun.

On Monday, Labor Day, we had no plans & kept our schedule that day just as it was planned.  We slept in, enjoyed each other’s company, went over to the ranch and practiced roping  bit, and watched a movie.  It was delightful!  Every now & then days like that are needed and we were very much looking forward to our day of nothingness on Labor Day.


With the holiday on Monday that means a short work week this week.  Who doesn’t love short work weeks!?  I certainly do.  And, this week is such a big week all around!  Wesley celebrates his birthday & Kaegan is going to be born!  I’m super excited for both events & can’t wait to see that precious baby.
