Sorry my peoples... Due to life, and limited internet, I haven't really been posting... At all! So just to prove that I'm not dead, I put up a post so you can see what I've been up to the past couple months. Some of the pictures are a few months old... Like the one above! This is my Cowboy Christmas outfit for Enchanted Springs Ranch. Some one told me I looked like a giant candy cane... I'm still not sure if that was a compliment or an insult :) Anyways I took it as both just to be safe. I posted a link so y'all can see pictures of my life at the leather shop. It's been real! I know most of you are just on FB now, but for those of you who enjoy blogs, enjoy the pictures! Happy trails! ~Nik

Grampa's Memorial  

Posted by ~Jill

Bell Tower at the National Cemetary of Arizona.
the group at Kokopelli Winery last night for dinner. We had our own room which was very nice. Good food too.

Grampa's marble slab.


The cemetary is an amzing place. But it is very sobering.

Cool sunset!! clouds above the clouds!! This was taken on the trip to AZ this weekend.


2 days of glorious rain started to fill the ravine that runs beside our house.

LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


On Tuesday afternoon I had the priviledge to go to ESR and help with a 1minute 30 second commercial that will air at every Spurs basketball game this season. What a hoot!!!! We didn't run on schedule at all, and ended up getting rained out. The pictures from that whole ordeal will come as soon as I get my hands on the disc. We ended up shooting the next afternoon to finish the whole deal, and got everything the director wanted, including a cattle stampede, using me as bait. Yeah... That was fun!!! But my life at ESR is never dull!!!
I love my job!

Last scene off the Spurs comercial

This cowboy was.... interesting... :P

Here are some for real retired Texas Rangers. Mr. Cody is in the middle. He is very funny, and quite a good sport!!! He had to deal with Maverick, our crazy horse at the ranch for 3 hours. Dealing with Maverick for any length of time could make a saint swear!

Waiting to shoot the final Jailhouse scene.

Lasst week we had a power surge, and my computer gave up the ghost...
So... My friend Matt happened to have a spare PC lying around, and so one evening he came over and was able to pull
all my info off my old hard drive and install it on my new (old) PC.
What a mess!!!!!!

Thank you so much, Matt!!!! You are awesome!!! I love my new computer!!!!
