I ASked Charleigh to show me her eyes because she is always squeezing them closed when she says cheese and this is what I got. She said "See Mom, there they are right there"


With Carol our neighboor.






















Charleigh fell while running on the sidewalk. She had a nice little goose egg and bruise. She couldn't help but smile for the pictures though.

Strawberry Baby

Charleigh eating some strawberries after riding her horse Scooter-bug.

Sweet little rag-a-muffin.

Homeward Bound!

Almost back to camp, and Charleigh is out like a light. But you can bet that as soon as we got back to camp and tried to get her off of the horse, she would wake right up.

Kyren looks a bit worried.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday BEN, I am lucky to have you in my life, and I know it. You are a great husband and an even better Dad. I am proud to call you my husband. ..... I will keep this short and sweet and just say.....HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it is a great one. love you!

This picture is off of the outlaw rodeo productions website. They along with Orschlen sponser Ben, if you have been to the site you might have seen this picture of Ben and noticed that under his picture it says that he is his friend Brandon. It is funny because many, many people who know them both always confuse them and call one by the other's name.

Uncle Ben and Aunt Adi...

We have new baby niece! Ben's brother and his wife are the proud new parents of a sweet baby girl!!!!
HARTLEIGH FERRELL is here! She was born 7-27-08 via c-section and weighed 7lbs 6ozs. and was 20 in long. I will update with more pictures of the whole family when I get some from Ben's computer. CONGRATULATIONS to Cecil and Shanna, your lives will never be the same, EVER! This is the GOOD STUFF! We cannot wait to hug her!

Out on the trail

Charleigh, me and Reno.

Charity not paying attention.

Potty time.........

This is the outhouse at the fox pens, Charleigh is holding her horse and goign potty like a big girl! Too many juice boxes for this girl.

Back to Vacation....

There are so many pictures of vacation that I have to post them around all of the other photos of our summer.
We have been having such a fun and busy summer. We spend most of our time outside enjoying the outdoors. Charleigh wakes up and says she wants cereal and to go outside and ride her jumping horse. She must ride that thing 3 hours a day. She of course calls him Scooter bug, and she says she gets bucked off about every 3 minutes. She will yell "WHOA SCOOTER BUG! WHOA, WALK, WALK" She had to hear it somewhere I guess. She is so full of life and happiness. She makes everthing in our lives more fun.

I kept calling Ben "Daddy Daycare" because he had Charleigh and Clementine's raincoats, the backpack full of snacks and drinks and all things needed for a trailride with a 2 and 1 year old.

Grandma and her Girls

Looks like Ben wanted to wipe Charleigh's nose, and Charleigh wanted none of it.

Tiny and Pa-Pa

This sweet little girl loves horses just like Charleigh. There is not too much that upsets her, and I do mean VERY LITTLE, she is teeny-tiny and talks up a storm, the words I have heard her say most often is Coco (her puppy) and Pa-Pa. I thought these pictures were so cute.

Cousin Charleigh.....

Charleigh calls Clementine "Tiny", it is much eaiser for her to say. She has been so sweet to her(KNOCK ON WOOD) she doesn't really know how to share her Pa-Pa and Grandma .











She likes to be roped, and to rope others(we walk into the rope when it is in her hand). Clementine went and helped CHarleigh pull on the rope a little bit.
