Branding and an Easter Egg hunt

 Broken I Ranch always seems to have our major Branding session over Easter weekend. So again for the 3rd year in a row, my Easter Saturday/picnic pictures involve cows, our winter range and Easter eggs hidden in random things. It is always so hot too, that my girls faces are bright red from the heat - but don't worry no one was burned...this momma brings sunscream as Aspyn calls it. I love Easter...everything about Easter! One of my favorite Holidays.
We picnicked on a huge rock. Kinda cool - but kinda sucked to get things up there.
Tyler thought BJ needed a little help.
Eating fire roasted hot dogs.
The crew
Brittney is always looking out for my kiddos. We love her!
Keaton showing everyone the rattle snake that Keith was tormenting and made it shake its rattle at the little boys. Seriously.
I love this picture. The cowboys can cook their own grub for once.
Chez's battle wound. She fell off like a 3 foot cliff. She thought she was dying.

This little man is so stinkin cute. Greydon.
Chez the sassy frass just getting ready to go Easter egg hunting!

This varmit was super excited as well!
Cute little cousin buddies

All the girls awaiting patiently for the little boys to come back from tormenting a Beaver they found.
And then Tyler the dirty running past them saying Let's go! let's Go!
And the mom's yelling at Tyler that it was time...so he had to herd all the kids back to the start so we could keep waiting for the little boys.
We got the Easter eggs by Indian Paint Brush, and Cactus and Pricker bushes...not cow crap this year!

Now it was time to go for real









The loot!
Some more loot
The cowboys found some more cows so they were bringing in the herd during the Easter egg hunt

Chez loves cows from about a 1/2 mile away but when they get 100 yards from her...she starts getting nervous. This picture...she was watching them like a hawk seeing if they were going to get her.


Greatest day ever to discover gum in her eggs

And the real bosses
Good times!!!!!! I love me some Easter festivities!!!
