Happy Father's Day!!!!

I want to wish everyone a happy father's day. My dad is an awesome dad. He has always worked hard in life, but wanted even more for his kids. He was always around us and taught us so much. I can really appreciate him so much. I love him and just wish I could see him and my mom more often. Thanks for everything dad!

Blue, AZ







My family has a cattle ranch on the Blue, which is in the White Mountains. As a kid, I used to go up every weekend with my family. It is really like my second home. I wish that I was able to go up more often, but with work and all, it seems to be hard. We have been able to go up 2 times this year, which has been great! My family branded calves while we were up there. I miss it so much and every time I go, I don't want to leave. My dad still goes at least every weekend, but now that he is retired, he goes during the week as well. Here are some pics of the ranch and the fun stuff we got to do. The first pic is actual Indian hand prints on a big rock up on the Blue. The 2nd one is of my dad riding to find some cows(what he does best). The 3rd one is of my dad and Arcel branding calves. The 4th one is of my mom and Kambrah helping out with branding. The 5th one is the actual ranch house. And last but not least, the road (turkey creek) heading to the ranch.
