Once again, we have a two year old in the house. Heaven help us this go round. Miss Becca sure is a firecracker, maybe even more so than Miss Henley. She sure knows how to get dirty, explore outside, tease big sis and Daddy, and can throw a temper tantrum like nobody's business. She's tall, … Continue reading Becca Lynne Turns Two

Glamping for Kids
When you're a little kiddo, say between the ages of 0 and 2, a camping trip for the family feels more like a glamping trip for you. Miss Becca was supposed to sleep in the nice, big bed we made up for her and Henley to share in the very spacious backseat of the pick … Continue reading Glamping for Kids

General Conference October 2018
Thanks to a challenge from Carleen Tanner, we put much greater effort into our preparation for General Conference this year. For those of you who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, General Conference happens twice a year, in April and October, and is the primary forum where the … Continue reading General Conference October 2018
Utah Trip
One challenge of raising beef cattle, or any livestock/agricultural product, is that you are tied to the cows, fields, pivots, tractors, basically the dirt you live on every day of your life. This makes travel of any sort tricky and virtually non-existent. However, occasionally the stars will align, there will be a pressing need to … Continue reading Utah Trip
Cabin Fever
Anyone else suffering from cabin fever??? We've got a bad case of it over here. The depressing thing is that thus far this winter we have had gorgeous weather. We're just coming out of a week with 50-60* temperatures! And now the wind is blowing. Like really blowing. Try thinking of things to keep a … Continue reading Cabin Fever
December and January…
Ahhhhhh the sweetness of the holidays. They're full of family, driving, delicious food, and short on sleeping, cleaning, rest, and boredom. Then January rolls in and the daily grind picks back up even more intensely than before. In my household this is due to the resuming of graduate work, tax preparation, budgeting, and meetings with … Continue reading December and January…
Working Cows with Pre-schooler and Baby
I can't believe this happened with baby #2! Henley did this as a baby... at right about the same age too. Something about that playmat I guess. Back to present day, Becca was just so tired she had to snag a nap right before we piled in the car to go help Ty give our … Continue reading Working Cows with Pre-schooler and Baby
Little Cowgirls
Hello there! I wanted to pop in and share some of my favorite pictures of my girls. This is Henley circa 6 months old. She loved this little rocking horse when she was tiny and still loves it now. This is Miss Becca at 10 weeks 1 day. Same outfit as Henley at 6 months. … Continue reading Little Cowgirls
Tummy Time 2.0
My babies are pretty much polar opposites on every count. Baby Henley loved to be held all the time. Baby Becca likes to chill on a blanket or in her bouncer chair with you nearby, but doesn't want to be held constantly. Baby Henley slept through the night maybe twice before she was a year … Continue reading Tummy Time 2.0
