Rent-a-Kid

OK!!....I get it!! We need a little baby. Not all the time. Just so we can take a few pictures to put on our Babyless Blogspot. Every time I check out Spence World, there are new pictures of these precious little kids! Those rascals are perpetual photo opts. Every day, 24/7.
On top of it all, the kids in the Spence Blogs are good lookin', well proportioned, and suspiciously well behaved.
Thank goodness the spouses those boys chose had the dominant gene. I've seen the boys baby pics. They are right up there with the pictures of me when I was a baby. The kind you would think twice about before posting them for the world to see!
Back to the problem at hand. We need a kid for our blog pics.
Surely their kids aren't as well behaved as they are good looking. Somebodys bound to need a break now and then. Maybe we could rent one for a couple of days. I bet they could fit a car seat in a medium sized pet carrier, hang a bottle from a string on the ceiling, strap that kid in and send 'em FedEx Overnight!!
When the driver gets here, we could tell him to hold on, we'll be done in a minute. Change the diaper. (we could hire somebody to do that....maybe FedEx will do it for a little extra) Take a few pics, do a non-invasive diaper check, fill the bottle and put him right back on the truck.
Perfect...Batta Big Batta Boom!!
Problem solved.

The Big Show




Last nights sunset.

Mmmmm,

Some kinda pretty!!

I took this with the video camera we got a few weeks back. It's different than my regular camera, but I'm getting better.



This evening Von and I had just finished dinner and I was checking the DVR for anything new.

One of the shows we regularly record is Craig Camerons American Horseman show on RFD-TV.

The opening of the show has various product endorsements. It's been cool to see Vons horse in one of the commercials. The horse, Slick, was at Craigs a few months back for more training. While there, Craig used Slick in a supplement endorsement.

Back in September, Von and I went to a clinic at Craigs place near Stephenville. While there they filmed some of the clinic for his TV show.

Tonight I clicked on an episode called "Building Confidence". Well...... there we were. What a HOOT!

I don't know if you guys have DirecTV. If you do, see if you get RFD, channel 231. The next airing is not until Sun. the 15th at 12:30 AM and PM.

Lovie is asleep on the couch so I'm gonna try and sneak out to feed. What a sight, Lovie and Lady asleep on the couch and Snoop Kitty Cat sleepin' on the lounge chair.

Guarantee Dustin is wide awake. He got in from work an hour or so ago. He just gets wound up around midnight.

News flash : Larry is cleaning up his shop. I do this regularly. Ha! I've been working on this current clutter for the last 10 to 15 years. Heck, Yvonne helped me tonight! She said "We should'nt EVER have to buy nuts or bolts again!!", refering to the accumulated assortment on one of the benches.

Well, better go.

Woke up to another beautiful day. We have been on a roll with this weather. Everybodys sayin' "enjoy it while we can, 'cause it's gonna change".
The news from Ft.Hood is heavy on my heart this morning. I get a mixture of emotions when I think about the man that did the shooting. It reminds me how fortunate we are here in the states. Things like this are a common occurance in many parts of the world.
Back to my happy thought....The Spence Gang! Sounds like something out of a western. I recently came across a pic of Jordon riding Joe. Man, he looks good on that horse.
Hey, how is Steve? I often think of him. Hope he is doing well. Tell him I said "hello".
Better get busy. Lots to do before evening.

What a morning!

Kinda hard to believe. Von and I.....our own blog. Now what?


Gotta start somewhere.


First of all, thanks to all you in Spence world for sharing your lives. You guys are awesome.We love and miss you all.


Today is shaping up to be another beautiful day. We are on an uncharacteristic roll of perfect weather.


Mom, here is the video of my second ride in Ruidoso. The video gets a little shaky here and there. It looks like Charles (shooting the video), is having a seizure about half way through. A little instruction from me would have helped. My mistake.




Adios
