Momma Mia!! It's twins!

Ohhhhh.. Sofie had her little puppies last night
(August 20) I was up at Heidi's for about an hour and Kelly and Patty came to visit. I asked them to come back down to our house and tell me how many puppies they thought Sofie was going to have---SURPRISE!!when we got here Sofie had half way delivered one of the little puppies.... I was sooo thankful that Kelly and Patty were here to help ... I was a nervous wreck.. Sofie was calm and just acted like she knew what she was doing... She delivered a little boy about 8:30 and then about 10:30 she had a little girl (and when I say little.. i mean little---they are just tiny.. kind of scary..) Then about
5 minutes later she delivered another little girl puppy but it was born dead... so sad!....she licked and licked the little puppy and Kelly thought about giving it mouth to mouth............but there was no hope.. it was gone before it was even born........it took a little while for the little puppies to figure out where to get the milk.. but finally they figured it out and all is well... Sofie is worn right out......and so are Kelly and I.. :)

Happy Birthday Heather!!

Heather came home on Tuesday to bring some banners she had made
for the Oneida County Fair and Rodeo..and also put up a vinyl sign on
a silo down by Plymouth. So we celebrated her birthday a little early
Happy Birthday Heather!!! We are so happy we were able to celebrate
with you and let you know how much we love you!












Casey came up with Heather in her new hummerYowza!! --How fun is that!..we all love it and wish we had one too!(she spoils her self --but good for Heather --she always gets what she wants! she works hard and deserves it)


Cameron and Connor ride up on the boom lift with Casey to help put up the vinyl on the silo!.. Looks great guys!!

Sofie is getting ready to be a Mama :)

Sofie will be having puppies in a couple of weeks (around August 19-21) She is getting miserable and having a hard time getting comfortable.... ohhhhhhhh.. ...wish her luck.. and be sure to check back in a couple of weeks for baby news and pics! :D.............uggghhhh.. i am nervous!

Horse Kick.Ewwwwwwwweee!

YIKES!.. You don't want to get kicked by a horse... especially a Mama Horse who has a colt.. Don was putting the gelding in the same pasture with the Mom Horse and her baby.. The Mom wanted to show the other horse who was boss..whoops.. She kicked at the gelding but missed and got Don instead!...........Good Don didn't have his gun with him..
and Yes.. it hurts every bit as bad as it looks!..

Summer School at Boise

I had to study hard during Summer Appraisal School (for my job!) in Boise.. Heidi and her little family came and spent the week up there with me. They loved the pool at the motel and Heidi had fun taking them all over Boise while I was in Class.. (Check out her blog for more pics of their fun time!) Even Sofie went with us.. we had to pay a little extra for her to stay at the motel-- but she thoroughly enjoyed motel life :) she was a good girl and always went potty outside in the designated area!
