Let me introduce my family and some of the animals that live on our ranch to you. My Dads name is Harold he is a real cowboy, most people call him Punch. He went to College at New Mexico State University and is the manager of our ranch. He is responsible for taking care of all the cattle, horses and wildlife and people who live and work on this ranch. My mom Renee, she is a school teacher. She works at the ranch on weekends and during the summer break. I get to ride into town for school with her every day. It takes about 30 minutes for us to drive to school. Even when it is snowing or raining we have to get there so she will not miss her job and my schooling. I remember once when we were a little smaller, we got a flat tire on the way home. My mom was in her good clothes, and she did want to ruin them having to get under the truck to get the spare. So she took her pants and shirt off and was in her underwear trying to change the tire. Cheyenne was crying and I was fighting with her, mom was yelling at us to be quiet. It seemed like it took a long time for her to get everything done, she was almost finished when Dad rode up on his horse laughing and ask her if she needed some help. Apparently he watched her try to fix the tire for a while. He thought it was funny mom in her underwear on a dusty dirt road. He said that was a cowboy dream to ride up on a good looking chick half dressed in the middle of the ranch. She had some choice words for him if you know what I mean.
