Grandpa Clark and Tordie

Tucker was So exited to see Grandpa Clark, I think Kimber was too, but she's hard to read.

Torie and Kimber (yup, somewhere in that ball of blankets is a little girl.)

Tucker really enjoyed playing with Aunt Torie... he called her "Tordie."

 

Grandpa Demonstrating his roping technique. Tucker was so exited to be roped, he would hide in the bucking shoots and say "outside," then come bucking out of the shoot to be roped. Tucker would run right back to the shoot for another go before Grandpa could recoil the rope, so when Tucker would say "outside" Grandpa was unprepared. Tucker would run and then tell Grandpa he had "missed." 

Tucker practicing his roping technique. He still needs a little work at it, his technique involved throwing the rope down and waiting patiently for the unsuspecting prey to walk into the loop.

Sorry about the blur. Video on my camera doesn't focus well

Grandpa brought with him a BIG red barn, which now lives in the living room. Tucker loves playing with the barn and showing it off to his friends. So far both Dresden and Max have been quite impressed with barn. Tucker plays with the barn everyday, and as far as I can tell... all of the animals sleep in stalls and Tucker sleeps in the loft... my job is to shut the lid.

Kaylie sent up our green baby chair with Dave. Not sure what it is called but it helps babies learn to sit by themselves I guess. Anyway, Tucker immediately started calling is a saddle, and if you look it even has a saddle horn! Tucker insisted Torie help saddle his horse. Good thing Torie was there because I have no idea how to saddle a horse. Note the saddle blanket, saddle, breast collar and the other strap that goes around the middle. Thanks Tordie.

We are really looking forward to coming down for Christmas!!!
