Howdy-
March
brought calving season. #13 was the first one to calve, on Friday the
13th, and #10 was the tenth one to calve. Thought that was neat. Such
smart cows we have, to coordinate that. :) We have 3 heifers and 8 bulls
so far. Still waiting for 3 cows to calve. Had some great weather for
it and the cows didn't need any help, so it's been an easy season. With
robins, sand hill cranes and baby calves, it must be spring! Even the
grass is greening up. In the yard at least; the cows keep the pasture
trimmed down. Had a little rain shower the other night and some snow
flakes the other day. The mountains were getting a few flakes yesterday.
Today it's sunny and cold out. Such nice spring weather.
We
got us a 3 year old in the house now. Some days it's the terrific 3s
and some days it's the trying 3's :) But she's still our lovable Nicole,
who likes to ride her bike fast, swing and use glue and scissors. The
girls are liking the warmer weather. Some days they don't even need a
coat to go outside. Even Janell likes to be outside. She gets pretty
excited when she sees you getting her coat ready. She's got the crawling
thing down and likes to pull herself up on whatever she can. And
getting into everything she can reach. She's still not into food that
much, but she'll eat more when she can feed herself. She goes crazy for
popcorn, though. She's 8 months now. Hannah likes to dance and do
"tricks". 'Mom, look at this trick.' They enjoy doing chores with
Rodney, swinging on the gate and being in the back of the pickup when
the cows are fed.
Rodney
was in Billings last week for FFA state convention. Previously, his
senior and junior mechanics teams took first at districts, but at state
they came in two points behind the first place team. So they were a bit
bummed out. His sales team took 4th and 7th in farm business management.
RV FFA has a facebook page that Rodney sometimes updates.

The
power company moved our light pole and put in a taller one. Some time
this year we'd like to move our storage sheds and replace them with a
garage. The power line needed to be raised to get over the garage roof.
We had a joint birthday party for Hannah and Nicole about the middle of
the month with the friends around here. Dale and Bonnie came down for a
couple days at that time. We're still enjoying having Gospel Meetings
Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. With all that we can have with
God, why would we want to settle for this world.
I better sign off and take care of some fighting girls . :)
'Til next time-
