JUMP!

 *Flashback*
Last winter the kids found a new activity...
Jumping!

Abbi and Ranger

Dani Rae and Ty
Ty pretty much just walked over them.
He had a few half-hearted jumps.
However....
It didn't really matter how high he jumped...
Dani loved it!

Abbi and Cash
Abbi loves to fly.
No fear in that girl!

BEARS... OH MY!

This is a black bear!
However, it is a blonde black bear.
Confusing. I know.
But... it is what it is.
It is a black blonde bear!!


So why am I posting a picture of a bear and a stranger?
(no, it's not Caleb)
Well, funny you should ask....
that's exactly what I wanted to tell you about.

Caleb has the opportunity to work for an outfitter
 in Idaho in the Wilderness of No Return.
(he better return!)

Bear Hunting Season started the day after he got there last week.
He has 3 more weeks of bear hunters.
I think they have gotten 4 so far.

Caleb called me after the first bear kill.
"Mom, I helped gut a bear and then hauled it on my
4-wheeler. I think I have died and gone to heaven."

He will be there for the summer.
He is having an incredible experience.
Loving all that he gets to do!

We miss him!
BUT... very excited for him.

It's That Time Again...

The horses have been in training.
Everyone has been practicing.

BLUE!


Meet our newest addition...
Blue!
(15 weeks old)

He is a Blue Heeler/Kelpie Mix


And perfect for us!


Blue was playing a little rough on one of our hens the other day.
Didn't kill her but it was close.
Hence, the chick temptation between his legs. 
 He did very good.
He licked his chops and nipped at her once but she survived
to tell the story. 


He truly is a God-send!
With our hearts so broken over our loss of Bandit
and then our sweet Nana (my mom)...
He has brought us much joy and many smiles!

Running the Streets of Gold

I wont give much detail at this time but want you all to know...
My sweet, precious mom has gone to be with Jesus.


She died March 18th on a beautiful Sunday morning.
We miss her and grieve the loss of our mom.
However, we rejoice in knowing where she is, 
with our Savior, and that we will be reunited again.

I promise to share more when I get pictures.

Back By Popular Demand....

Many Blessings
is back!

Check back for more...

Hearts Are Broken...

COMPLETELY!!!
Our faithful friend, Bandit, has been missing for 2 days now.
We are sad!
He has been with us for 8 great years.
Never kenneled, never chained.
Our "porch" dog.
And... if you know this boy,
you know this is a GREAT loss for us.
IRREPLACEABLE!!
Come back... Bandit Boy!!
