FRESH, FUZZY AND FULL OF LIFE

f i r s t : happy halloween!

s e c o n d : meet these cute babies!!!

its that time of year at the ranch.... mammas are having fall babies!

look at these little cuties - they are so curious and full of life, almost instantly after birth.

every morning the cowboys have to feed the mammas and check for new babies born over night. 

yesterday i went out with them to check on the mommas and there was a new addition.. this cute little bull was still sticky and wobbly but cute as could be!

after catching the little guy, they are giving a name (ear tag with mom and dad information)

they are measured, just like babies and then left back with their mamma to get back to nursing and playing around. 

sometimes these little guys are hard to spot. when they lay down in the tall grass, they disappear - but the mamma will always go back and find her little one right where she left him or her. they know their babies cry just like humans.
to date 16 little have been born- only a few more weeks and all the fall babies will have arrived!
they are just the cutest- the little ones run and play around together, cant wait to see all of the fall babies 

BEATING THE BOYS

its been a few days since the last post, but with good reason. 

i've spent the weekend with my cowboy at the ranch - hunting. it's gone from bowhunting (which will last through january) but now it is also muzzleloader (think old school gun powder style) season in oklahoma. 

so before we headed out early early (like 1.5 hours before sunrise) on saturday morning, the boys

needed a little target practice on friday night. since it was friday night, i made myself a hand-shaken margarita (via my uncle laynes recipe) and enjoyed the view. 

that is, until the boys were done and i picked up my boyfriends 223 (handed-down to him from his grandmother) and out shot them both!! 

girls rule, boys drule?! 

CASHMERE & CAMO

yall, i am so excited slash super nervous about todays post and pictures!

an outfit post? on my blog?

i guess there's a first time for everything!

to give you a little back story.... i came across the cashmere & camo blog a few years back and have been hooked ever since. the writer behind the blog, brandy, shares a love for all things outdoors, hunting and can i get an amen: c a m o !

recently brandy opened her very own and very amazing cashmere & camo s t o r e !

she caries some super cute pieces (and very affordable!), one of which i have obviously been drooling over since day one. this beautiful 'camo for brunch' sweatshirt that even has pockets. i mean, does it get any better?!

on tuesday i checked the mail and was so surprised to find the above cute package in my mailbox.... and as soon as i snapped a few pics and unwrapped it, i changed out of what i was wearing and wore this sweatshirt for the next two days. to everything!

now for the outfit pictures... 

bare with me. my self-timer on my nikon took these for me. 

i'm not loving the pics, but i do LOVE this sweatshirt!

if you follow me on instagram, you will probably see my in this sweatshirt a lot over the next few months! 

brandy, you know me well - this sweatshirt is my new favorite item in my closet!

thank you, thank you, thank you!!

BEARS, FLEAS AND MORE

this weekend marked baylors 104th homecoming!

the game was against iowa state... and i can honestly say my mind was blown before the game even started.  we drove to waco and stopped for a few big o's before the game!

as we walked up towards the stadium and the now designated tailgating area i was taken back.... when i went to school there, tailgating was iffy. no tents, no big smokers or grills and certainly NO alcoholic beverages of any kind were permitted. now, it was like a big deal. people want to tailgate and all meet up before baylor games.... i could get used to this!

trying to get in the stadium was a different story... there were lines to get in to the stadium.. like there were not enough gates for people to get in on time to see the kick off. and once you were in the stadium, there were funnels of people trying to get to their seats, or lack there of. ya'll never in my baylor days have i seen so many people at a baylor game. it was over sold. people copied tickets and there were not enough seats to accommodate everyone. there were people standing in the isle and walkways... unreal...sic em bears!!!

INSTACLOSET

ok. it happened. i thought it was time to give the whole #instacloset a try. 

my sister and i went through our closets over the last few days to move out the summer and make room for winter (we all know winter takes up way more space in the closet... its all so bulky!)

after sorting though we decided a few items were worth selling. 

some still have tags, others only worn once.. like these cute sam & libbys !
