ChatGPT roasted this family photo and I’m dying 😂 Grandpa – Bobby Ray “Teal Thunder” McGraw- Retired rodeo legend turned BBQ judge. Has exactly one emotion: “mildly disappointed.” Wears that jacket so folks don’t forget who won the 1983 Calf Ropin’ Championship in Amarillo. Once fought a possum with a spatula. And won. 2. Grandma – Darlene “The Duchess” McGraw- Lives life like every day is Sunday at church & she’s the soloist. Hair defies gravity. Has a recipe for pecan pie that may or may not involve a verbal blessing from Dolly Parton herself. Wears white heels even when gardening. Is feared and adored by the Ladies’ Auxiliary. 3. Teen in Bucket Hat – Wyatt “Cactus Internet” McGraw - What in Gen Z Yellowstone is going on here. Homeschooled philosopher with a YouTube channel called “Sagebrush Thoughts.” Wears that bucket hat like it’s a crown. Can lasso and livestream at the same time. Communicates primarily in riddles and obscure movie quotes. Don’t let the soft smile fool you—he’s plotting a silent coup. 4. Mom – Savannah Belle Dalton-McGraw CEO of Family Photoshoots, Senior Vice President of Matching Outfits. Owns a small boutique that sells candles, faith-based planners, and hand-painted wooden signs with phrases like “Bless This Mess.” Still calm even when the goat escapes into the kitchen. Again. Florals? for spring? groundbreaking. She’s got the look of a woman who’s been told “you don’t look old enough o have kids” at least twice this morning. 5. Dad – Duke “Plaid Power” Dalton Knows how to fix anything with duct tape, prayer, and two angry phone calls. That shirt says “I’m approachable,” but the hat says “Don’t test me, I’ve got a tractor and know how to use it.” Spends 20% of his time smiling and 80% looking for his pocketknife. 6. Little Girl – Daisy June “Buttercup” Dalton “The smiling tornado”- Too cute for her own good. Dresses like a cupcake but throws hands like she grew up in a barn fight club. She runs the dogs, the schedule, and low-key the entire town. Will absolutely convince you to give her your last cookie and say thank you after. Looks like she just stepped out of a butter commercial but has the energy of a caffeine-fueled goat.

Y’all! I was selected to speak on a stage at the American Library Association’s Conference on June 28th in Philadelphia! 🤠 🐴 I’m so honored and excited to bring stories and lessons from the TY Ranch to librarians from around the globe. When you live in a rural area, it’s easy to forget how many people aren’t exposed to cowboys, cowgirls and ranch life. It’s almost mythical, and meeting a real cowboy can feel like meeting a super hero! I’ll never forget walking through the zoo and a little boy pointing to Ty and saying “Hey, it’s Woody. Hey Mr. Woody man!” Ranch life is such a fun, adventurous part of American History and can spark a kids imagination for adventure! Oh my gosh, I need to start preparing now. I’m nervous and excited. My thoughts are filled with stories about animals & ranch adventures. When I majored in animal science at @clemsoncafls , I never imagined I’d now be an author writing about animals. I’ve found a true passion in writing, in sparking a child’s imagination, in helping kids learn about life! Thank you to @zonderkidz for pitching me as a speaker and thank you to @americanlibraryassociation for this opportunity! I can’t wait and I will make our agriculture industry proud. This country girl is coming to town. #childrensbook #kidlit #rosieswildride #ranchlife #agriculture #horses #cowboy

How beautiful is the Ty Ranch in spring! 🌺 I found this super cool skull (anyone know if it’s a sheep or goat?) and Oakley found this shed. Our 4-wheeler died a mile from the house so we hiked back. Thank goodness Ty cut me some hiking trails because tall grass and me don’t mix ( 🐍 😂). #ranchlife

Happy Easter from the TY Ranch! 🐣 🕊️
