Cody's brother came and visited us this weekend and we showed him around the ranch. I think he fell in love with the baby deer in the house! He got in late Sunday night and left today. Monday night a storm blew through, which a storm blows through probably once a week but it always goes around us. Well Monday night it hit us straight on. The wind got up to about 70 mph and it was crazy! Cody and Josh ran up to the deer pens to bottle feed the babies before the storm hit while I fed the dogs. No lie, the wind was so powerful it blew me down! I ran as fast as I could back in the house and just glared out the window to make sure Cody and Josh were gonna make it back without getting blown away! Well the wind didn't phase them, they were just lollygagging (not sure this is a word, ha) down the drive, walking as slow as they possible could! When they finally get in the house their like, "man, that wind is a blowing!" The wind lasted about an hour, then rain for about 30 minutes and then the bluest skies you have ever seen! The sun came out and hit the storm clouds and it made a double FULL rainbow and it was sooooo bright! It was amazing! This picture doesn't do it justice!
In case you don't know Josh, he is gonna be famous one day! He is in a band called the Rocketboys and they are GREAT! Also, Josh is a little pimp! The blonde chic from Gloriana is his friend and she not only texted him ALL weekend, she even called him one night! :) Go Josh!Today while Cody was out he got stung by a horse fly! Poor thing, he is falling apart! When he came home he looked like he had been ran over by a freight train and his poor little hand was twice as big as the other one. Tonight, it's about 4 X's as big as his other hand! :)
Today I started watching Jocelyn. She is Louis and Gisella's little girl. She is 13 months old and she has never been away from her parents. Well Gisella needs to finish school and I agreed to help them out while she goes to school. She slept the whole time....No lie! Louis dropped her off around 8, she screamed for an hour, until she cried herself to sleep, slept till 12, cried some more till Louis came to check on her. He took her home for lunch, dropped her back off around 1:30, he left, she screamed for about 5 minutes, until she screamed herself to sleep and she slept till 3:45 when Gisella picked her up. Luckily for me Cody went to town today to get feed and swung by walmart to buy me The Time Traveler's Wife:) So I can read it before he takes me to go see the movie on Friday! Let's just say......I got A LOT of reading in today with a sleeping baby! :)

Oh my, Cody's hand looks bad....never knew a horsefly had such a bad sting!! Hope it's a lot better tomorrow. The rainbow pics are beautiful!! Seems like everything in the sky is prettier in Oklahoma, especially the sunsets! Josh said he had a great time and I know he was so glad to see ya'll! He said the ranch was great, the meteor showers were awesome, and the baby deer were really cute. Hope he didn't wear ya'll out with his night owl hours. Hope ya'll get some good sleep tonight, love you both very much!!
ReplyDeleteI like this post.
ReplyDeleteJosh will be famous someday.
Sorry about your hand, Cody. Whatever you do, don't drink half the bottle of Benadryl - you might wake up peeing on the window. Just saying.
Hope the little girl starts liking you white people better. Sheila says that we take some getting used to.
Love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI saw a random person wearing a Rocketboys t-shirt last night and thought, "Wow! They are really taking off!" (no pun intended)...until I said something to the guy and he said, "Daniel Wheeler's my brother-in-law."
But it was still cool.
