Bison Babies!!!

We have babies!!!  Several of the bison cows have had their babies!  We got 4 the first weekend of May!  They are so cute and little!  Their orange fur is adorable!  This is so fun!  I will say they camouflage much better than we ever thought!  It helps that they just hide by their moms and get lost with all of the adults being taller than them.   

Birthday!

For my birthday Tiffany took me to her gym so we could get free chair massages.  It was a great start to the day!  That night Jeff took me out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Cheddars.  It was nice to enjoy the evening together!  The kids were waiting with presents and cheesecake when we got home!  It was a nice birthday!

Celebrate

For my birthday this year I tried on my wedding dress from over 20 years ago... to see that it still fits.  Yes, it was snug, but hey, it zipped :).  Sandra was kind enough to take some quick photos outside.  It was fun to feel extra pretty for my birthday this year!  Here are just a few of my favorites. 

 

Mother's Day

The kids were nice enough to take a photo with me for Mother's Day.  Talmage even got me flowers.  It was a nice day spent with the family :)

 

Acro Dance

Lorna has been part of Stars Gymnastics for a couple of years now.  She has learned how to do a proper cartwheel, one-handed cartwheel, handstand, round off, and much more.  It's been impressive to watch her learning new skills and talents.  With Covid changing the world Lorna had not had a dance recital since starting.  This year her group would get to perform!  Unfortunately, she had missed some practice time due to our family quarantine time.  Luckily, she was cleared just in time for the performance!  She did a great job!  It was so fun to watch her and support her!  Way to go Lorna Bug!

4 Little Piggies

Well, after last year failing at our piggy adventure, we decided to try again this year.  It was kind of a last minute decision and maybe not what we should be worrying about right now, but they are so cute!  We picked them up in Athens, just 45 minutes from the ranch.  They are bigger than the last set of pigs and pure bred too.  We brought them right to the pig pasture to live.  To help keep out predators we ran two strands of barbed wire around the pig pen.  It was really helpful to have Talmage and Grant to help with that!  It took a few hours, but we got everything set up.  Hopefully the 2nd time's the charm!

 

Covid

Jeff is the one who got Covid the worst in the family.  After a few at home tests we decided that Sandra brought Covid home from the Renaissance Fair and shared it with Daddy.  Nobody else got sick.  That was nice for sure, but still hard to be cooped up for so long when you feel fine.  Covid made Jeff really tired and weak.  It reminded us of Chemo.  Not a great memory.  Jeff would end up having to stop work in the middle of the day and go lay down for a nap.  It took over a week before he was feeling close to normal.  Poor guy.  It's hard to focus on work when your body just needs to recover!
