They do it without realizing… Every time they do, and we catch them at it, we girls laugh… but there’s plenty of times we find ourselves doing the same thing, and we’re not blood related! Is it because of our situation, lifestyle, or the fact that we spend so many hours together? There’s no doubt…

Girlies
While cows might be on the agenda for tomorrow, today was about watching the girls! I had a few choices on the agenda including some outdoor activities during Reagan’s nap time. She didn’t oblige us with a long nap, however, so we stuck with the indoor activities. Tea party. Check. Paper dolls. Check. Baking a…
Priorities
Had to stop and chase some leopard frogs in the pivot rut… you know… priorities! There’s one right below her…
Science Your World
I’m back from our library convention… But before I launch into that… I just have to share the exciting news that Victoria was honored to be chosen as the STEM Secondary Educator of the Year for Wyoming!! (STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering Math… and Secondary means for middle/high school). I am extremely proud of…

This is our big payday… and we’re happy to encourage any new buyers out there that would like to bid on our steers! Their…
#TBT: Horsepower
Here’s another oldie shared by a relative… Since many of us are sweating through some hot weather… look closely at this pic to help you cool off! This six horsepower hitch is being used to pull out a tractor from some deep snow. Note the snow packed into the rear wheel wells. The guys look…
Pretty Girls in Pretty Country
I was privileged to take Lacee’s four year old pics today… and Reagan’s six month ones as well. It was very difficult to choose my favorites!
#TBT: Still Branding
A Throwback Thursday post that’s a little mixed up. Here’s Johnny roping and dragging a calf during a branding in July of 1961… And here’s Johnny at our branding in June of 2018… with grandsons holding the calf and granddaughter giving vaccinations. (and great-grandson hidden behind his mom). You’re awesome, Johnny! and we LOVE YOU!
Old Cowhands
With branding accomplished, it’s been time to move the cattle out to various pastures. Some go here… some go there… Some are easy, short rides… some not so much! It just depends. All of our property is not contiguous. While it would be nice, back in the early days everyone knew to mimic the wildlife,…
#TBT: May Snow
I recently received some old family photos… and scrolling through them on my computer, it was hard to choose which to share first. I finally decided on this series of three pics taken May 4, 1929. Now we’re just rolling into June of 2018, so these are 89 years old. They belonged to Wyoma Pyle,…
Celebrate
We had to have Daniel’s birthday party to kick off AI Season, Gathering Season, and Prep-for-Branding Season! There’s not a lot of down time from here on out… And … it is Daniel’s 30th birthday … Everyone had to help him celebrate!
