Cattle Round Up!

October 5, 2014 by Debra

Just the other day my husband, Kevin said- “I would like to retire when I’m 55”. These past couple of years Kevin has increased the herd size of his ladies (this is what he calls his cows- LOL). So this means Kevin will not be retiring, just working closer to home!

A couple of weeks ago we helped move some cattle to our pasture. There was six of us helping. The top image is just before the trailer gate was opened for the heifers to unload. After the unloading was complete, I saw Kevin at the railing watching the cattle. Rarely do I get pictures of him and I could not resist taking this shot. Even though it is of his backside, I like it. He’s watching his dream!

Baby Shower!

September 13, 2014 by Debra

My neice, Nicole, is having a baby! Her expected date is September 29, 2014 – A little girl. Mommy and daddy are waiting to pick a name after they see her. The baby shower was in August and I must say it was very cute. Nicole’s mother and mother-in-law did the decorations. Some of the ideas were from Pinterest.

Writing on the diapers was a great idea. Several ladies wrote some pretty fun words! The bottle idea was probably my most favorite decor. I filled my bottle up full and drank all of my lemonade.

This image is amazing. Four generations here. Looking back, I wish we could have had Bryant in the picture too. The precious little baby will have a picture with both maternal and paternal grandmothers and three great grandmothers. Not too many of us can get an image as amazing as this!

Congratulations Bryant and Nicole!

July Fourth 2014 | Family Four Generations

July 5, 2014 by Debra

Have I mentioned I really like my gmaCamera?

Yesterday I spent the beautiful day with my parents and kids. Kevin was playing farmer- cutting hay and bailing. After dinner we posed for our family photos. During our photo session, it occurred to me that we have four generations. Here we are above. These were taken with my Sony camera which I refer to as my gmaCamera.

The complete holiday gallery of images can be viewed here.

July 5 was a fun evening. The festivities continued over at our friend’s house. Good food and fun fireworks.

It is a privilege to be an American. In the words of George W. Bush, We are fortunate to be citizens of this free land, and we are grateful to the brave men and women in uniform who call the United States home. Happy Fourth of July, and may God continue to bless America.
