Weaning Calves

Today we weaned calves. It was the perfect day!  We got .3" of rain last night that settled the dust.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL, high today was 78.  Every calf was weighed, got 3 shots, tattoo checked (a few months ago we tattooed (inside both ears) the animals registration number).

True or False?

Do roosters only crow in the morning? 

Answer:  FALSE

I have one rooster, that stupid thing crows ALL DAY LONG!   I’m putting rooster noodle soup on the menu!  I’ll let you know how it is.  :)

First Day of School 2013

School started a little earlier this year, because we are going to a 4 day week!  NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY!!  WOOHOO! 

Halee is a FRESHMAN.

Carlee is in the 6^th grade.  Her teacher this year is Mrs. Thompson.  I asked Carlee if she thought she was going to like her and she replied, “I’m going to LOVE her, she is funny and has common sense.” 

Jarrett is in the 2^nd grade, his teacher is Mrs. Williams.

Taylor Swift……FINALLY!!

The girls have been wanting to go to a Taylor Swift concert for years!  I surprised them with tickets for their birthdays!   We had a fabulous time!  I got them out of school at noon.  We ate in Atoka, then headed to Tulsa.  We did a little shopping and got pedicures.  The concert was A.MAZ.ING!  Taylor puts on more of a musical movie than a concert.   I loved spending the day with my girls!!

Vacation Time!

If I could have imagined my idea of a as perfect as possible family vacation, I just experience it!!  Our family went to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic in July.  It was everything I had hope it would be!  

Day One:  BEACH DAY& RESORT DAY!  Kids had never before been to a beach.  The temperature was a perfect 75-80 degrees.  (Oklahoma temperature was 100+ with humility).  

Halee made these darling collages for her blog...........THANKS HALEE!!!  

We stay at the Now Larimar Resort; it was everything I had hoped! Beautiful, clean, friendly service, new!   The one and only complaint I had was the food…..I love to eat and was so looking forward to pigging out.  The food wasn’t what we are used to.  The American food wasn’t up to my (low) standards.   We couldn’t wait to get to a Texas Roadhouse.
