Meanwhile Back at the Ranch....

This is our latest addition to our four legged steeds..."Banner West" 

Big shout out the Rehm Quarter Horses in the cool Pacific Northwest

Thanks to Judi and Alyson Rehm on trusting us with their sweet boy "Banner"

Banner is quite the celebrity back in Washington - we are THRILLED to have him retire at our ranch!

Hacienda de Tranquilidad

Early this morning we packed a picnic went out to our new ranch about 75 miles North of Houston.  John wanted to test the fish in all the various lakes.  One lake has bass, another has catfish, and Sinclair is convinced Shamu lives in another lake and Nemo in another.  There was not a champion sighting of any of the aforementioned, but we had a ball!

little perch were feeding under the docks - Sinclair kept telling her Dad "put pole here, Daddy, so fish can see us"

Clifford was a real sport - when he was not by Sinclair's side she was holding him.  She is perfecting her hold... Unfortunately, it is the "choke hold"
