You're probably all getting sick of branding photos, but that's all I've got. It's my favorite thing to take pictures of. During the past week or so of clean-up branding, Hayes has been begging me everyday to go to work with Spence instead of doing school. This morning, he got up early and did all of his school work before breakfast so that he could go with Spence. He's turning into a good little helper. Now if we can just get him another horse, he'll be in heaven.
Kris brought out Parker to join in the fun (Hayes only asked about 20 times when he was going to come). Those two make up a pretty motley crew. I had to get a picture of their boots.

The smoke swirled up and seemed to be coming off Spence

Into the fire

KMY- Kelly's boots and spurs (I don't know what the M stands for) (every good cowboy HAS to own a pair of spurs with their initials on them! :)
Once again, Hayes and Parker off into the sunset. Actually we've got to hurry and get to Cade's baseball game in town. Get in the truck boys!

Great pics Kel Bel!
I LOVE all your branding pics!! Oh and I *THINK* M might stand for Mack. Not 100% sure though. Maybe that's just Cody's middle name, I don't know!!
jamie is right it is Mack, good pictures! JC is always on your blog after branding to see if you posted picutres
Love the pictures--you do such a good job of documenting the ranching stuff. Thanks for letting Parks join in the fun. I also love your AZ sky pictures.
