More babies!

We got another bull calf on Wednesday of last week. The past few days have been really busy for me.

Here's a picture of the latest calf












Then Red Ember was curious of the picture taking and decided she needed to have her time in the blog........ what a flattering picture!
We also got three new kittens on Thursday night!
 and I can't forget to share some pictures of Cooper!

Another Calf!

To see the real picture of the size of the Dexter breed I need to show you this picture of the little one born last week next to his mom and Warren.
Number 2 calf here this afternoon! This one is a lot taller than our little one this last week. It is a cold windy day to be born. Poor little thing. He is hunkered down in a hole to keep warm. Warren always says "They are just fine".

Spring is coming!

Spring must be coming---we have started calving! Eight calves are due to arrive this month--we have one so far. A little tike--smaller than Cooper! He a blackie! He also likes to lay between the fence posts just trying his boundaries!

Sunday, January 23rd

Life keeps me too busy or probably I do not have the energy and strength that I wish I had. It seems like the day is done before my list is crossed off. I find myself praying for endurance and strength. Although...knowing my limitations and my capabilities...I try each day to push my self a little harder and step out of my box a little more. I was given the assignment of teaching part of the lesson in a combined RS/Priesthood meeting today. I was asked to speak on the need for parents and teachers to connect with the youth. To make sure that they know of our love for them and for our Heavenly Father. It made me remember different times with my own children. Moments where time moved so very slowly but in retrospect I find that they were some of my most wonderful times with Aimee and Tyler. I though of my dear sweet daughter, Kelli, and the service that our family was able to give her. How I miss her. She has nearly been gone more time that she was with us. But I will never forget the small things that she did, the noises of excitement that she made, and the love that brought us together in the family.
