A day with dad





He's very well behaved





"Where's dad?"





"This way?"





"Maybe he's over here?"





"Oh I give up!"

The Adventures of Fixing a Windmill...Step by Step by Step...

First the cow gets thirsty

This one was very impressed by me







From the cows perspective








Then you notice that there's not enough water coming out of the ol' pipe there







Yep, definetly no water being pumped







The hubby calling for backup because he broke something off of the certain doo hicky that connects to the pump thingy

The only part I remember from this phone conversation was that he needed a "male part"

Then I was explained the birds and the bees of windmills :-)







Busy pulling the long part of the windmill out of the ground to investigate what ranchers call "leathers"

This ended up being the culprit of today's adventure







And there they are......worn out leathers







Overview of the problem







New leathers are like brand spanking new shoes to girls

Although leathers can last up to a year and I don't know about you girls but I sure can't go that long without buying a new pair of shoes??????







I decided I should make an appearance on this blog every once in awhile

Hi family!!!!!!

(Yeah, that's me in the lens. Just in case. I worry people don't "get" me sometimes)







Looks like I need to do a little patch work on those jeans hmm Brock??







And help arrives with the "male part"

Yeah, I don't understand it either








And because I can

Here's a picture of our adorable dog

He's at the stage now where he does nothing but sleep all day

LOVE IT!

A dog and a horse

Stay-at-home dog mommy?

My weekend consisted of staying at home all day, taking care of our bloodhound and gray cat, which I have no idea what breed she is. I attempted to write a paper Saturday and didn't get done until 5:00 p.m. because I was in and out of our recliner;

-letting the dog out to pee
-spanking him for chewing on the cat
-letting the dog out to pee
-walking the dog
-spanking him for eating out of the litter box
-letting the dog out to pee
-pushing him off our furniture
-spanking him for eating 3, yes 3, christmas ornaments off of our very first married tree!
-you guessed it...letting him out to pee (Although, I'm very proud of him for having only 1 accident in the house this entire weekend)

So, until Brock and I make little people, you'll have to put up with pictures of our little trouble maker....he is kinda cute :-)


My favorite picture from the weekend.



He thinks he's cool for bothering me while doing homework.



My two favorite boys!

Christmas decor and doggie

I haven't finished the "kid's" stockings yet...soon







Our very first married tree!!! Love it. (Don't you like how we set it on top of a chair???)







This is his favorite chew toy...as long as it's not my computer cord I really don't care what he chews on.



Our dog is cute...I'm not gonna lie about it. (I thought this all of last night until I found the pile of poop behind the recliner...seriously dog!)



I love what gravity does to his face :-) No more wrinkles!







GQ material?

An Enjoyable Weekend

Sunday was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect day to preg check.



I decided to "help" which consisted of poking the cows in the ribs with a stick...much fun.



An afternoon nap...



My boys :-)



This little incident happened on my way to school Monday...while I was talking to mom on the phone!



(Ignore the bluriness, there was a car coming). I had to scrape it out of the hood with my ice scraper!
