These pictures of Hayley were so cute that they just had to have their own post. She's sitting in Jack's lap just looking up at him so attentively here!

Christmas Pictures!
Christmas Eve
. . . and Christmas morning
Kelsey and Cade show off
their new slippers.
Peyton adores his sister!
Jack got this ginormous grill for Christmas!! It's actually for the ranch, but he had to test it out Christmas morning!
At this point, I set the camera down for some reason, and I never picked it up again! So, what you don't see are the pictures of the tamales, the queso, the King Ranch casserole, the eggnog, Jack's mom, my dad, Uncle Dave, Kathryn, and David. But it all happened and it was all very merry!!!

Peyton at the Ranch
Jack and I took Peyton for a ride around the ranch.
He loved "driving" the truck whenever Jack got out to fill up feeders.

At one point, he ran straight for a tank and
reached right into the muddy water.
Note the "rancher" hands

Of course, Pappy was ready to clean them right up!
Jumping on the tramp with Aunt Kels
Meeting Bullseye
Here, Mr. Goat comes over to say hi!
Peyton loves riding the 4-wheeler with Pappy!
Whenever we were in the house, he stood at the screen door
looking pitiful and begging to go outside.

And this is what the sweet baby sister did all day!

Post Election Food For Thought
I know this is long, but take the time to digest it and let me know your thoughts!!!
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:
* From Bondage to Spiritual Faith
* From Spiritual Faith to Great Courage
* From Courage to Liberty
* From Liberty to Abundance
* From Abundance to Selfishness
* From Selfishness to Complacency
* From Complacency to Apathy
* From Apathy to Dependency
* From Dependency back into Bondage"
--- most commonly attributed to
"The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic"
by Alexander Fraser Tytler Lord Woodhouselee (1748-1813)
(Scottish judge and historian at Edinburgh University)
