My precious and adorable Cozette Grace (Cozy).? A small group of us wanted to get away for the afternoon last week so we headed up to Prescott via Yarnell.? We stopped and played in a creek for a bit and I snapped some shots.? Cozy was my subject for most of them because she was easier to chase.? 🙂

On the trip were:? Papa, Sweetie, Daniel, Noah, Graham, Braxtyn, Cozette, David, Zandi, Zane, Me, Tanner, Ty, and Tori

That is a big black bull behind her.? This bull gave Sweetie quite a scare when he got within about two feet from her and Tori in the creek.

There are a lot of free range cattle in AZ (though technically in this case we were on sorta private property).?? Speaking of wildlife…earlier this week I was dropping my mom off at her house after dark and Papa wasn’t home.? When we pulled up there was a herd of wild javelina in her backyard.? They make an appearance most every night.? Good thing Dusty was home because we called him from the cell phone to come downstairs and chase them off.? Mom and I weren’t about to get out of the car and shoo them ourselves.? No thank you.? There have been a lot of rattlesnakes (big ones) out there this year too.? The rains we had were drawing them out.

Also while on the topic of wildlife (bunny trails…:) Tanner and I are having such a fun time watching all the Billy the Exterminator episodes.? :)? We cuddle on my bed and watch show after show.? Billy reminds me of a 1980s rocker band version of Ty Pennington.? :)? His kind personality is like Ty’s.? If you haven’t seen it, Billy is an exterminator who has a reality show and he is based out of Shreveport, LA.? He gets calls to come do on a daily basis what my family does quite regularly.? :)?? He gets dead animals out from under homes, irradicates bee and wasp nests, gets rattlesnakes out of homes, traps coons and bobcats and skunks…all kinds of stuff.? I will admit – this show isn’t G rated because Billy’s language is a bit rough but he is a good hearted guy and Tanner and I like him.? :)? We like Ricky too and hope that he eventually finds and marries a sweet woman.? :)?? My brothers find this show anti-climatic because they find themselves doing these things frequently without the freak outs (I do still freak out though).?? Okay back to pictures…

And some of Cozy and her Daddy

Next up will be pictures of everyone else:)
