Mr Ben is 1 yr old now.

CB, my B-ball boy

A small sign of spring...they will probably

freeze this weekend if the weatherman

knows what he's talking about.

Gorgeous Sunrise the day of our

Farm Consignment Sale.

Thank you Lord for a beautiful picture.

Mr. Ben...again

The last wrestling match of the season. ZB puttin

the whoopin on this boy! lol

CB---in hiding

ZB doing a little fishing...with no luck

These ladies are doing well despite the yucky weather

we've had.  They are putting away the feed...and about

20 round bales a week.  1 more month and

off to grass they go!

Now that wrestling is over, Golf begins

Have a Blessed Day!

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na.....

They say it's your birthday....
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
It's my Birthday too, yeah.
(anyone know this song by the Beatles besides me?)


Yes it is.  I'm off to my folks to celebrate with a birthday dinner.  Can't wait.  Yes...I will share my age...38 and happy to be here and so thankful for all I have!

Will post more soon, having computer issues and picture downloading issues, etc.  Hope to have it all going good by tonite.  We shall see, my computer "fix it knowledge" can be quite limited :)

Have a great day...I'm going to~it would be even better if that big orange thing in the sky that brings warmth would come out~ LOL

Good Morning!

Been doing a lot of this..

watching my oldest wrestle for WMS

GO VIKINGS!

 

It's been a good season with a few wins and

several losses. I tell Z, "it's ok, it builds

good character" he doesn't seem to

agree and I understand, it's a hard

lesson to learn to be graceful

when you lose. But it can be done.

 

And then there is this boy..

with green frosting in his mouth at his

Valentine Party at school.

This would be his Valentine envelope that he

made for all his Valentines to go in.
Charming,isn't it? :)
That would be black and green
on it, ya know, like an Army man would have.
Need I say more? Valentines Day is NOT
his thing. And that's ok too!

Here is one of the things keeping my hubby very busy right now

Our annual Farm Consignment Auction. This is last year, the night
before the auction. The BIGGEST one we've ever had. This year
will be bigger yet. We didn't think that could happen. But it is!


What a Blessing!

And then, we have the ladies...
needing a lot of feed and attention in this
wintry weather pattern we can't
seem to escape for even a day.

 

My little man and I on the feed truck.

Praying that you have a wonderful Sunday and a Blessing

filled, last week of February 2010.  Can you believe

that it's almost March??? Thanks for stopping by...I look forward

to hearing from my readers/friends. 

A Few of My Favorite Things

My friend, Laura over at Elephant Juice did a post

on her "favorite" things. I thought that sounded

like a lot of fun and I decided to join in! I hope that

you do too.

This is my popcorn popper. Yes, it's old and I bought

it at an auction. Makes the best kettle corn

and I've recently decided to experiment with it...a tablespoon

of kosher salt makes some awesome popcorn too! My youngest

doesn't like kettle corn. So I always seem to make

2 batches anymore-we love popcorn in our family

and I make some about every night.

This white shelf is nothing fancy, I bought it at

the Goodwill store for $2 and painted it white

roughed it up with some sandpaper and its a great

shelf for my cookbooks(another favorite) and my

crock bowls(another favorite) and of course

some plants and my scentsy warmer on top!

This is one of my favorite devotional books I have-
there is rarely a day that I read it that it doesn't really
"hit home" and give me just the right word for the day
or the situation at hand. God's word is great like that~always
what you need, when you need it!

Ok...this picture is not of a wooden block
with a fuzzy sock on it. Your eyes must be playing
tricks on you! I do love these slipper socks in the winter!
As you can see, I have tile floors(another favorite) but they
are a bit chilly! They are not an attractive, slimming sock
but they do serve the purpose.

This of course is our FavORiTe college team! GO CATS!
But...this is actually a Snuggie, yes, I said a Snuggie. NO, I did
not buy this for myself or my hubby, it was a Christmas Gift
from my bro-in-law and I have made great fun of these
darn things...and now not only do I have my own, but...
I really like it! LOL It's pretty darn warm and I can get pretty
comfy in it on the couch in the supine position!

This picture doesn't do this little bag any justice.

I am a self-admitting bag lady! I love purses and bags.

I bought this at Bluegrass this past year and it's the BEST

$10 I've spent in a long time! I use it ALOT. Right now, its

serving the purpose of a wrestler's mom bag, full of snacks,

gatorade, camera, mapquest papers:) etc.

Don't know if you can read it, but it says

"BOSS LADY"

love it! The old western theme suits me to a "T"

My mandolin. It has become one of my favorite things.

I have always LOVED the sound of the mandolin. I am s-l-o-w-l-y learning

to play it. Have played it at a couple of "gigs" already and am lovin it.

I am happy with what I have already learned, but am overwhelmed

at what I have YET to learn.

And...last but certainly not least. My scrapbook stuff.
I love to do it, don't always have a lot of time for it. Have decided to leave
it set out downstairs and I work on it when I can. Someday, I hope
to have a room or area where I can set up a big table and be much more
organized than I am.


I hope you enjoyed looking at my favorite things and I look forward to seeing yours!
Join in the fun...come on!

A Whole Lot of BIZ-E-ness Goin' On!!

The first match, The first PIN!

ZB's first match...I only got these 2 pics due

to extreme excitement! lol

Second match...was a little harder work

Mr Ben, has a new name
Mr Busy-Britches
He can clear a table in no time at all!




My Rebounding Machine!

Get that Ball CB!

Shootin' some free-throws

Mr Ben really enjoyed the wrapping paper!

CB just goofing around in a stack of old tires
Cheap entertainment :)

A week goes by way too fast. I thought it would be easy to keep up the blog with a weekly posting...at least, but that is proven to NOT be the case. I hope all my blogger buddies have not gone off and left me since this has become the Blog with FEW updates!

I say this all the time...but life is just going by way too fast--sometimes I feel like a little girl again on the merry-go-round going so fast that all you can do is just sit tight and hang on. Problem being, I wanted to go FAST then, now I want to SLOW it all down. It really makes me reflect on my time spent--is it productive busyness OR just busyness? I think there is a good mix...not sure if it's balanced but it's mixed. I guess that can be something else for me to work on--finding the happy medium.

Well, much has happend since the last post...last of the basketball games for CB, beginning of Middle School wrestling has begun, work has been busy--buying a new set of cattle which makes for cattle to feed and work, clothes to wash...etc etc.

CB LOVED basketball...of course not at first! Those who know him personally can vouch for that. I FORCED him to play Rec Ball. I'm sure some people thought that was just terrible, but they are not his parent :) I have to FORCE him to brush his teeth, do his homework, take a bath...you get the picture! After the first practice, he loved it and his coaches were Awesome...he was actually the most improved player on his team. They had a very BAD season, but ended the season with a WIN--finally and CB scored 6 pts and had several rebounds. He was really starting to get the feel for it at the end. He's looking forward to another season. I'm excited...it was really fun to watch.

ZB is wrestling for the Middle School...I can't believe I have a child in Middle School...AAAAHHHH. He has wrestled before, but it had been several yrs and it was with our Local Wrestling Club. This is a bit different. He is on the JV team, there are 33 boys out for wrestling--I thought that was a lot! Last night was his first dual...he pinned his first guy in the first period!! First one ever! WHOO HOO In his second match, he won 4-0! His sweet smile from ear to ear was Priceless...I was so darn excited I didn't get the picture of the pin. :)

It was a lot of fun to watch all the boys, they all worked hard and did well as we(Vikings) WON the whole thing! There coach was neat to watch as he was very encouraging to every boy as he came off the mat. Fun evening.

JB and I are just keepin on, keepin on. Lovin to watch our KSU Wildcats in Basketball...when we get the opportunity--work, cattle and chasing the boys are occupying the rest of our time.

THANKS to all of you who have prayed and sent well wishes for our family! Good news to report that my dad is doing well and the tumor was Benign--Mom is slowly getting better...not recouperating as fast as she would like, but it just takes time. JB's mom's husband who had the stroke is doing GOOD! My m-i-l is Awesome and has worked very hard at helping him get recovered with his speech, etc. He has made great strides! God is so good and I thank him every day for our many blessings...

Rise and Shine, Give God the Glory
Children of the Lord!

Wishing you another Blessing filled week

Thanks

Thanks to all of my friends who offered help with my "technical difficulty". Thanks to LeAnna(Flower Mama) who fixed me up good!

All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands FOREVER.

1Peter 1:24-25

Have a wonderful, Blessing filled week!!
