Joss


oh jossi, what a cutie you are. Joss is my 3 year old neice and she is a piece of work that girl! she is hillarrrious. she alwaysssss has the funniest most unexpected response to everything, it just cracks me up. One time, keri jo asked joss where she got her good looks from and she said grant. lol we were all like ummm ok hahaha. she also had to have one of her front teeth pulled cuz she hit it and it died, and when she woke up from the surg she was crying- not from the pain-but b/c she missed her tooth. now maybe its just cuz im a dental assistant( and her aunt) but how darn cute is that!? when riley was a baby he couldnt say kelli so he called me lolly, so that is was joss calls me. but now that she is older and "cool" ya know, she calls me loll. its so cute. it makes my heart melt everytime she says it. now, all of you that know me, know that i am nooooot a cuddley person, and joss isnt really either, but sometimesssss if its late enough she'll cuddle in my lap and i just love it. its so heart warming. i neverrrr wanted kids but now that i see joss and how much fun and joy she brings to my life, i kinda want one of my own (and yes ker, i know i see only the fun parts)   ;) who woulda thunk it lol. joss is also a dramaaaaa queen that girl! it is hillarious to watch. sometimes heart breaking, but ker will always be like its ok kel, shes faking it, lol. i always think dang, im a sucker! oh yeah, one time i called her to talk to her,they now live in colorado, and she started crying b/c she wanted to talk to grant not me! it was actually really funny, i told grant its only cuz his sexy accent! anyways.... heres to my little piece  of heaven joss. i love you and miss you!!

our house

oh boy where to start about our house!  the house we live in was empty for 4 years before we moved in. i say empty- only meaning no people living there. the house was filllllllled with so much stuff you couldnt even see the floors. it was rather scary! sooo, beverly and DL ( people who grant works for, reallyyy great people-we love them) rented a huuuuuge dumpster and  them and grant cleaned it out before the wedding!! grant moved in the house in march so i had a little time to semi decorate before i moved in :) it is a 5 bedroom house, but 2 are used for "storage" lol. we've also got a new tin roof since we've moved in as well! we have emptied and cleaned out the hay shed and horse barn and now they are in shape and usable! Here are some before and after pictures! keep in mind we still have lots to do!! it still needs lots of TLC :)
our driveway-no longer has these massive dead oaks

mom and dad helped me paint, couldntve done it w/out them

grant had the flower bed cleaned out and ready for my flowers when i got there one weekend:)

MY HUSBAND

for those of you who dont know my husband, you are missing out. missing out on a cultural experience lol and a rough and scruff but secretly loving kind man. Grant is Australian and has  been in america for almost 7 years now. He came to america to train horses. When i first met grant he had only been here for 3 years. We met in aubrey texas at sergeants western world where i worked, and he would come buy tack. long story short, i eventually went to work with him at ee ranches and we fell in love :) here are a few pics of my man from snowy river. i love my grunta(aussie for grant) and the wild west adventures we go on together and our life at the Barron Downs.....
