I have to apologize for not posting a few times in the last week or so. After posting yesterday I realized I didn't give a proper note for other birthday's in our family. So for the record. Our niece Amy turned 17 on January 28. Our niece Sara turned 21 on February 2. And lastly Kim, Doug's sister had a birthday on February 8. I will be nice and not put an age, only that she is two years younger than Doug.
Hope you all had a blessed day!!!

SNOW DAY!
We can't say that very much at our place...but today was truly one. That is because Wednesdays are usually the day that the kids go to Jackson to Pioneers to do their Co-op classes. Well they cancelled classes, as did all of the schools in our County as well.
Erik had fun last night with friends who showed up on their sleds (snowmobiles) and they cruised around for a couple of hours. When he got back home, he had to work to get warmed back up...it was cold out!!
The boys are on their way to their annual trek to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville today. They said weather wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Travel between Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis was knuckle gripping. Lots of black ice...but they made it through. As I complete this they should be about getting there. They will be back tomorrow evening.
Katie and I will keep busy keeping the home fires burning. We went over and tied up the 4-H steers this morning to further prepare in bringing them home. We like them to be halter broke so we can tie them in the horse trailer. I know, laugh if you must, you hardcore livestock people, but we only have a horse trailer, so that is what we use, dividers and all. :) We actually take them to the fair together...two steers and a horse...it works!
So the girls will take care of things here, we also have some practices and appointments tonight and tomorrow, so we may eat a meal out as well.
I must wish my brother Don, who lives in Greenville, S.C. a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He is 48 today and is my second oldest brother. He was born the same year as Doug and I am significantly younger...enough said about that!!!
I hope you all have a good day and enjoy the weather where you are.
Be blessed~

Busy Week...
Hi all...We have had an extremely busy week. Katie has been practicing nearly everyday at the BACC with her Ag issues team. Well...it paid off, because last night they competed and won Gold (1st) at districts and are on their way to regionals in two weeks. We were a bit concerned when she had chills and a fever in the night Tuesday and into Wednesday. But, she had gotten a Tetanus booster so that was her side effects. She recovered and her team did well. I am going to attempt to post a picture of the team...we will see what happens. I have to grab the picture from her Facebook account...hmmm I may need Miss B. to help out!! :)
I am dealing with a pulled muscle in my shoulder. I now sympathize more with our friends who have been dealing with shoulder issues themselves.
The weekend is here...plans are in the works, for sledding, Superbowl parties and hopefully just some down time and relaxing.
Take care all and be blessed!
Ok...forget the picture...Miss B. we need to talk!!!
