Nothing!

Nothing exciting going on around here! Still busy with the cow chores and pig chores. Chad started physical therapy and goes 3 times a week. Nothing much for him to do yet at therapy, the therapist just stretches him out to make sure his shoulder doesn't lock up and does one little exercise. He will start doing some tougher therapy in a few weeks. He is hanging in there and has actually been way more patient than I thought he would!!!! Maybe that's his lesson to learn in this....I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason!

Just Because

I am posting these pictures from our snowmobiling and sledding adventure on Christmas just because.......I like them! My son Jeremy (sorry about the blurriness....took this through the window)

My nephew Booker

My Birthday Girl

Courtney turned 17 yesterday!She has been such a blessing in our life! She is a feisty, fun-loving girl! She is smart and hard working. She likes to "challenge" us now and again but hey, ya gotta love that she has spunk. She likes to be a girly girl but yet isn't afraid to work hard and get dirty. Happy Birthday Courtney, we love you!

Feedin' Cows

I took my camera out with me this morning while doing chores to get a few pictures of the cows when I feed them.

One big fat one leading the way for me.

The end of the line.....look at them chowin' down!

I've really gotten to know some of their personalities while feeding them. I know the timid ones and the "pushy" ones, the sloooow ones and the ones that try to beat me to the bunk and the really dumb ones! That's something I have never gotten to see because normally I spend most of my time with them during calving season and I just get to see the "motherly" side of them. It's been a whole new experience for me.

YIPPEE

The calves are going to the sale barn tomorrow (Wednesday) to get sold-YIPPEE! That will be 135 less animals around here for me to feed and bed down. Maybe I will have a little more time to keep up with all of you now....I have been pretty bad at checking in with all of you and I have really missed it!

Robin Hood

Courtney shot a Robin Hood at Shooting Sports on Sunday.

New Sled

Here is Jeremy's newest purchase.....a 2001 Ski Doo 700. He has been looking for a snowmobile for several months and FINALLY found "the one". It goes VERY fast which makes this mom a little nervous but hey, it's his money and he is 19 so I couldn't really tell him he couldn't buy it.
Don't ya like his snowmobile "duds" (aka coveralls). He is now looking for some nice snowmobiling "apparel"! Do you know of any good places he could look for some...online or in SD?
