Up to our Ears

in farm equipment
 
It's that time again.  I'm not quite sure how 364 days can go by so quickly
but they do.  These are pics from last year's sale~our local paper did an article on our
Annual Farm Consignment Sale.  These aerial photos are done by our local paper as well.
It is simply amazing to me.
We had nearly 900 bid numbers out last year.  Our biggest sale ever.
Shaaaazzzzzaaaaam!
We are very thankful for the business.

The red roof is our Livestock Auction with the cattle pens on the right and left
We have a huge parking lot and pasture to put all the equipment on.
 
If you are in need of something...come see us on Saturday!

It's February?

 
2013 seems to be moving right along in our neck of the woods.
Since Christmas...or even before, our lives have been "on the go"
CB is playing basketball and that has been the main attraction! 
With practice being 5:30 to 7:30pm  and 2 games a week. That is about
all we get done, besides work. 
Let me clarify that I'm NOT complaining...just stating a fact.
I absolutely LOVE watching my boys do ALL their activities!
 
It has been so much fun to watch these boys grow this season
We played today in our league tournament and there has been some
great improvement since the beginning of the season!
We won today and will play again on Monday evening.
Go Vikings!


On the 17th of January, CB turned 13
He had a basketball game that night so afterwards we went out for supper at our favorite
mexican place here...and he enjoyed his birthday Wonderlita!
 
Then over the weekend I made this cake.  An oreo, double layer cake. It was yummy and he
LOVED it!  He was so excited when he saw it...he told me "mom, it looks just like the picture in the magazine!"  It was fun.  And if you are counting the candles....there are only 12.
I wasn't driving to town for 1 candle.  He was totally ok with that! lol
 
 
I did some digging thru old pics and found these...oh how I miss my little boys!
 
 
 I can't believe how fast time is going...
 
 
It seems like just yesterday I was snuggling this big haired baby boy!
 
 
 
 I had some crazy idea that I was going to be better at blogging this year.  It is NOT because I don't want to, it has everything to do with t.i.m.e. or lack of.  AND the fact my computer would hardly load these pics AND I couldn't load some I wanted.  *sigh*
Did I mention I have hardly had my camera out?  *sigh #2*
 
My family and I received some GREAT news over Christmas...the exchange student that lived with my folks nearly 20 yrs ago...from Denmark...
Is coming to KS....in March...with her family(husband and baby girl)
 
We are sooooooo Excited!!!!
 
It has been several years since she has been here and it's going to be awesome...her little one turned 2 in November...we will finally get to meet her! Cannot wait....it's going to be awesome~I get teary eyed thinking about it!  Yes, I'm a sap.
 
I need to hit the hay...blessings friends!
