Thankful

It is the night before Thanksgiving and as I am folding laundry and replaying some events from this past week in my head, I am Very Thankful!

 I am Thankful for being an older cousin to a prego cousin, which I have not sugar coated anything about this pregnancy and I think she and her husband are grateful.  I am Thankful for my wonderful Hubby, as I had the flu bug that Boy 1 had a few days earlier I got it and Hubby took Boy 3 to work with him and bought groceries.  I am Thankful for all the chatter and noise and even the dancing in the kitchen and cleaning smudgy cow poop from the mudroom and kitchen floors.  I know I am sounding kind of mushy tonight. 
We did get a few hours with Cousin A and Friend R this afternoon and even with our Granddog Newt, yes we call him Granddog-which after the year Newt has had I am even thankful for him, even though he loves my behind a little much- okay way off track.
 I read Jill Salvage blog today where she said she was thankful for the mundane, the laundry she does for her family, the beds she makes that keeps them warm etc.  It made me think, she is very right.  So tonight as the boys and I lead heifers out (Hubby took Princess to dance) this is what it is all about, not the big meal, not all the desserts, not even having all your family or friends, just these small everyday moments everyday!

Feeding the cow/calf pairs is just one more of my Thankful moments!

Have A Great Day:)

Stranded

I love being at home, LOVE it!  BUT, when someone tells me I can't leave then I am restless.  Today the road crew is replacing three culverts, so that means our road is closed.  Hubby took kids to school and picked up.  I have called and bugged Hubby all day.  I have also worked on a new cookie recipe, I will give you ratings after kids get home, I have also stalked Pinterst and made a window seat in Boy 1's room,  I have cleaned and reorganized the mud room, also put a bench in there to make it easier to put on cold weather boots.  So I have been productive, just don't like someone telling me:)

Have A Great Day!

We have pictures!

So I have not had enough time to sit and blog for awhile.  I have good reason, last week we were in Kansas City at the American Royal and had no connection.  This was not all bad, we had a BLAST!  The heifers did wonderful and so did the kids.  So instead of my blabbering on her are some pictures from StarLake sale in Oklahoma, remember the Great Grandparents went with us. 

 Boy 1 and Boy 2 going over their picks!

 Great Grandpa got to get a golf cart, because of his knee, oh and the kids took advantage!

Yep- they are silly!

Now on to pictures from KC!
Great Grandparents did not go with us, if you are keeping track this was the only show they were not at this year.  Cousin A and Girlfriend R were there!

 Homework still has to be done!

 

Boy 3 and daddy!

 

Princess and RA FINE WINE 0212

 

RA Daquahri 0311 on her way to her last show! Notice this is Boy 1's heifer, but Boy 3 says she is his and yes he will lead her by himself!

We will be starting indoor soccer tomorrow.  So I am sure there will be pictures of Boy 1 playing.
