LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!

Life as we know it!

Remembering to slow down and really appreciate what we have—not just the 300 mph times but the quiet times as well, the lulls, when you are able to think and relax and breathe. Being happy regardless!


I am truly blessed and am so grateful for the opportunities that we all get to enjoy each and every day. My girls have grown in ways that I never thought possible all the while developing relationships along the way and learning about responsibility and hard work.

Meet CuPcAkE!



The girls’ first official chore…and they love it! Cupcakes mother is a first time heifer named Super Baldy…well according to Jeslyn, she isn’t so super…she has been a terrible mother and refuses to have anything to do with cupcake…so the girls have taken on the task of being her mother and bottle feeding her, it has been fun to watch their mothering skills blossom.




How about those ear muffs! My dad cuts a portion of his calves ears off aka ear marking…we on the other hand in our market can’t afford to lose an ear. The revenue on a calf without an ear is on average $500-$1000 less. It really wasn’t that cold for that blanket and ear muffs, but the girls seemed worried so Dirk being the great dad he is humored them for a day and a night!




I wonder why they make them hot pink and green? Do you think maybe so you don’t forget to take them off? Not sure!
