Meet Blackie

Blackie is a dog that wondered up to my parents house one day. This was really strange considering my parents live in what some people have said the boondocks. Considering that they live in the country. That he had to travel several miles to get to their house we felt sorry for him and took him in. We didn't realize Blackie was a wonder dog until he was around a few days. Blackie loves playing with a tennis ball. He also loves the water.





















There is one thing we didn't know Blackie could do. He can wink!!















Hope your having a wonderful Monday!! If you have snow in your area, Please send it our way all 4 of us are wishing for snow to go sledding in.

Cold Rodeo

Our sons participate in youth rodeo's in our area. We had a rodeo this weekend. Even though the rodeo was indoors it was still very cold. I think its going to take my feet several days to thaw out. Our kids didn't seem to mind the cold. They had a wonderful time being with all the other kids and taking part in the rodeo. I just stayed under a bunch of blankets all day and the only thing sticking out was my boots.Thats why my feet stayed cold all day.








This is one of my sons chute dogging in a rodeo back in the summer. It was warm and toasty outside ( my kind of weather) and not snowing like it was this weekend.
















My other son finishing his roping run.


















It was a freezing cold rodeo but the smiles on my sons faces was a warm site. They love this sport and take pleasure in competing in all the events. Next time, I will make sure that I wear thicker socks.

Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. If it was warm in your area over the weekend. I'm jealous!

Freezing Cold,

Bottle Baby Calves

Growing up on a farm,we had lots of animals. By the way,my parents still live on the farm that I grew up on. One of the fondest memories I have is raising bottle baby calves. Before and after school we would feed and clean their stalls out. Being a farm girl that I am and marrying a city boy. My husband did not know about us having bottle babies at our house. I thought it would be so good for our boys to get to do this at our home. I finally got city boy (my husband) talked into letting us have bottle babies at our house. Now that we have been doing this for several years my city boy husband has grown very fond of the calves.






Aren't these babies so cute.
