Yip.... those are Longhorns

Lauren and her bosses had a little ride through town on some longhorns. I of course missed it, but thankfully I had lots of friends who saw it and took pictures for me.
Otherwise I would NEVER had believed it!

Lauren Order

Lauren got her SASS alias today. It was so fun to see her up on stage with all the "old" cowboys. She has had such a great experience over the past week at The End Of Trail. I think she'll be sad it's over, but she so tired I'm pretty sure she'll sleep all day tomorrow (thankfully they gave her the day off).

Name The SASS Intern

The top five names are in for Lauren and her SASS Alias.
Yesterday and today people are voting, tomorrow we'll find out the winning name.

Here's the list:
Lauren Order
Lovely Laurena
Lil' Bit More (her grandfather's alias is More or Les)
Storm N Lauren
Magdalina Magenta

SASS

Single Action Shooting Society.
A society? A cult? How do you tell the difference?

As a member of SASS you pay dues, dress only a certain way, and have a code-name. Oh and of course carry guns around (old guns).
We have deep roots in SASS, as my father and step-mother (More or Les, and Giggles) have been members for many years. And now, Lauren is doing an internship in their marketing and advertising department this summer. She was to come up with an alias, but of course she can’t come up with anything. So the head honchos of the society thought that it would be fun to have a “Name The Intern” contest. The top five names will get a gift certificate at the Mercantile. Then from those five names everyone in the Society will vote on the name they like. The top name winner will receive a gun…. And be able to say that he/she named the intern. We really hope it’s something good!

It’s official, Savanna’s 13

Savanna turned 13 on June 7th. We had a Bar Mitzvah for her on Sunday with Family and close friends. On Monday I took her and three of her friends to the movies and to Dion’s for lunch. Then we headed back to Albuquerque for dinner and the ear piercing which is a right of passage in our family when you turn 13. She of course cried (because it’s Savanna who cries for everything) but didn’t faint or throw up.
Now when I look at her all I can see are her thirteen year old pierced ears.
