Busy Busy Busy

My apologies for lack of posting lately.  We’ve been super busy getting things together to ship our yearlings out & that has consumed my life!  But, we’ve got (almost) everything shipped out & are getting ready to bring the next set of calves to the ranch to raise.  My husband has been super busy making a trip to the ranch in Opheim to ship steers & heifers from there, and then coming home to ship heifers from the ranch here.  So between helping him, taking care of things while he & David were gone, and keeping up the house we haven’t really had a break!  But, things are starting to slow down a bit (at least for a few weeks again). 

Last weekend Wesley was in Opheim so me and the boys hung out in the house all weekend long.  I got some much wanted {and needed!} sewing in last Saturday and am excited to give my creations to a few special people!  I’m still working on putting together the finishing touches on the creations I made, but as soon as I have everything together I’ll be sure to post pictures of it.  Wesley got back Monday & we were so glad to have him home again!  We’ve had a busy week but are looking forward to the weekend.

Tomorrow evening we are having the Boucher family over for supper & game night.  We’re all excited to get together again!  When I first moved here we’d hang out with the Boucher’s about twice a month.  And then between them having babies & Clint’s job in the oil field it was hard to get together with them.  Fortunately for us, Clint took a job on a ranch about 20 miles closer to our home & we are able to get together with them like old times!  It’s been great for all of us.  We have so much fun together, and we just love those little boys of theirs!  Saturday afternoon we’re going to pick Jack (almost 2 years old) and Hayes (4 months) up and take them with us shopping in Miles City because Clint & Sarah are attending a wedding & we volunteered to watch the boys for them.  Then we’ll take them back to their house & watch them until Clint & Sarah get home.  We’re pretty excited about keeping them!  Of course holding Hayes is right up my alley.  He loves to rock & snuggle so I have a feeling we’ll be doing a lot of that Saturday evening.  Jack loves to play with Wesley.  They get down on the floor & wrestle & bang on his toys...it’s really cute. I believe we’ll all have lots of fun Saturday evening! 


Sunday we plan to have a little round robin roping at the ranch since this will be about the last weekend for roping until the spring season again.  They’re already getting snow in Western Montana (can you believe it?!) so it won’t be long and we’ll be seeing some of that white stuff around here too.  I’m going to try to get some pictures of little Jack & Hayes this weekend when we watch them.  They’re just adorable J
