Mabey Ranch

A couple days before school started we went on a spur of the moment family outing to the Mabey Ranch where we range one of our herds of cattle for the summer. I was looking forward to getting out and enjoying nature along with seeing the calves and how much they had grown. Jeslyn was hoping to pick her out a steer for next year. Jauncee & Clay love to tag along and Dirk, well anything cattle related he enjoys. I couldn’t believe how early it was starting to get dark. We got out there a little late and the sun was setting but that didn’t stop us. We headed down the beaten cattle trail and didn’t have much luck finding the herd. So we stopped to enjoy the view and let Clay down to play in the dirt and rocks. It was so peaceful and quiet Dirk and I decided to talk to the girls about a Fathers Blessing and if they wanted one prior to school starting. Of course they both said yes. It was such a wonderful evening the spirit was so strong and the Lord had sweet and special things to say to both girls. I definitely have a testimony of the power of the priesthood and am so thankful that my dear husband is worthy to be a holder.

























I am sure the girls will always remember this evening!
