I can’t believe we’re in the second week of October already. Where is the time going?? Before we know it we will be enjoying
Thanksgiving deliciousness and trimming trees again!
Last weekend was such a fun weekend for us. Friday night we had the Boucher’s over for
supper & games. We enjoyed
hamburgers & sides, then played a couple games together. It was great fun for all of us! And, for the record, the ladies totally beat
the gentleman in a new game we purchased called “Word On The Street”! Saturday morning started early for us as we
set out to move the rest of our steer & spay heifer herd closer to home so
they could be hauled to town on Monday.
Upon completing that task, we headed home to shower & get over to
the Boucher’s to watch Jack & Hayes as Sarah & Clint were going to a
wedding that day. We had such a good
time with the kiddos. They are SO well
behaved and Jack is at such a fun stage now that he was adorable. He’d call out for his “Tippy & Ves” every
time he needed something, or just wanted our attention. It was adorable. Of course Hayes is a dream to keep as
well. He’s only 4 months old but he is
such a content & happy baby. He
never cries, like ever. The only time I heard
him start to whimper was when he was hungry for his nighttime bottle. Then he started to stir & fuss a
bit. Other than that they were both
troopers. We had to take them on a few
errands with us in Miles City that afternoon, and I got my first taste of what
it will feel like when we have kids one day & we have to take them out in
public. I was constantly washing Jack’s hands & keeping Hayes in his car seat
covered with a blanket so no one would touch him/them or even come near them,
and they aren’t even MINE!! I can only imagine how I’ll be with my
own. Sunday afternoon we hosted a Round
Robin Roping at the ranch followed by a BBQ.
We had about 20 of our closest roping friends out to the ranch for a fun
afternoon of roping & socializing. Of
course the Boucher’s were there and Jack was adorably saying both my name and
Wesley’s all afternoon. He also had to
sit at the same table as us when we all sat down to eat after the roping. He knows how to melt hearts that’s for sure!
This past weekend we had another busy weekend, but it was a
good one. Friday afternoon our hot water
heater went out (GREAT!) so Wesley and I spent Friday evening working on
it. By Saturday morning it still wasn’t
working, so we decided it was best to just get a new hot water heater. After some effort, Wesley, his dad, his mom,
and I were able to get the old water heater out & all the plumbing evaluated
and then Wesley and I were off to get a new hot water heater. We were able to get it installed by 5 that
evening which meant hot showers for everyone!
Sunday morning we got up early & headed to Billings so Wesley could
participate in the Wrangler Team Roping Championship Finals. Remember the video I posted about his roping back in June? Well this was the finals
for that series. Wesley & his Dad
both roped very well. Unfortunately,
their partners missed which meant they didn’t advance to the short go. However, they had lots of fun & Wesley
& I even scored a new roping dummy while there! We’re pretty excited about it!
This weekend will be a long one for me. I’m off next Monday for Columbus Day (woo hoo)! Saturday we are getting up early & smoking some ribs for Jack’s 2nd
birthday party that afternoon. I can’t
believe the little guy is turning 2! He
was only 5 weeks old when I moved up to Montana and now he’s going to be
2! So Wesley & I volunteered to
smoke the ribs since we enjoy Bar-B-Queuing so much! So we’ll be attending the birthday boy’s
party on Saturday afternoon. Sunday we
might run to Billings to do a little shopping, but that’s tentative as of
now. We’re just going to relax & see
how our weekend goes!
The weather has been so nice here lately. It did get cold & we got just a touch of
snow last Friday morning (I know…already!) but the highs have been in the 60’s
with lows in the 30’s…perfect fall weather.
We are so looking forward to stews, soups, chili’s, football, and all
the beautiful colors fall has to bring!!
Have a great week!!!
