Yep, he's ALL mine!

He actually made me go out in public with him like this, a night out with friends in Ashland.

Korie's new project

We lost a Mama cow giving birth to this little guy yesterday. It was pretty sad. Actually, he isn't little...he's absolutely HUGE. So, he is now in our backyard being bottle fed 3 times a day. Fun!

The horses were absolutely fascinated by this little guy.

Korie participated in the church performance/musical. It was sooooo great. All of the kids did a fantastic job. I was a little shocked when our "little" girl came out looking like she was about 25 however. Sigh....I guess this is a glimpse into the future.

A family picture...actually exists! Thanks Teresa for taking the time to snap some shots.

We have been blessed with some pretty awesome things. Here are several of them....
Our sweet sweet friends the Williams. Mrs. Kari Williams LOVES, I mean LOVES, new baby calves. She's has been anxiously awaiting our calving season. So, the other day we had twins born on the ranch. This little girl was only a few hours old when the Williams family came over to love on her. It was so sweet. I completely take for granted how God has blessed us. We have several calves being born daily. Usually, I don't take too much notice. But thankfully to our friends, I finally went out and got to appreciate one of the many blessings we have been given, constant new life. Not by anything we did, but totally by God.

Where has the time gone?

Last I looked, it was September and now, well, we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. Whew!

Things around here have been, well..."interesting" to say the least. Hopefully, things will get less interesting from here on out. But, having said that...everything is good.

Kali just celebrated her 5th birthday, followed by a night of non-stop barfing. Happy Birthday Kali! Lol.

Anyway, hoping that what is left of this year doesn't fly by too fast, but somehow...well, I have a feeling it will.

Thankful for so many things. God, family, friends, freedom, jobs and the fact that I am forgiven and loved. Well, those are just a few of my top favorites. I have plenty more.

I hope this season, you find what you are thankful for and learn to enjoy the good and the bad. I am trying to do the same myself.


Happy Birthday Kali! We love you.

Is this the life or what?

Uncle Dean, why are you walking so funny?

What a sweet man!

Really?

Really! Sound asleep. I have days I feel like this too!

Cutie Pie Kali in the Halloween parade

We went to Disney on Ice in Sacramento with Papa and Grandma. Such a great time. We also got to meet "Uncle D" for some lunch.

In September, we girls threw a baby shower for Christie Horne. Love these ladies.

Weekend at the coast

Happy Birthday Kinley and Korie. We love you!

Swimming at Mrs. Perry's

Thanks for letting us come out and swim Mrs. Perry. Always a pleasure.

Kali's first time off of the diving board.

Lake Siskiyou

Korie spent the week at Lake Siskiyou with my parents camping. Their annual tradition. Of course, we girls made a visit to hang out for the day too.

I am thinking Papa likes having his little granddaughters over for a visit.

Yay, friends! Ana was at the beach with her family today too.

When we came to visit for the day, Korie's friend Grace came with us to surprise Korie. I am thinking they had a great time together.
