but in order to make to accomplish this I must attempt to set achievable goals and accomplish as many as I can

 

February Goals:



1. I am back at the gym: workout 3xs a week
2. do a RAOK
3. loose 3lbs
4. blog at least once a week
5. create a budget plan
6. order photos and get framed
7. do a blog link up

Although this month has already started I plan to jump in and check all or most of these off my list

Snapchat & the Armor of God

Just a few pics from my Snapchat story:

 

As you know I am a visually person who is addicted to heavenly smells.

We were with the family and I kept smelling this amazing smell so I went around smelling folks until I got in between two of Nick's cousins and said ok I smell something so good who and what is it. I've got to have it.  You would know the last time I bought perfume it was because of her also. We were in New York and it a bottle was in the bathroom and being the perfume addict that I am I had to try it and so when we got back home I went and bought it. So for now this is my favorite perfume that beat out Gucci Guilty. I ordered the travel size bottle just to make sure it was going to smell just as heavenly on me. If so I knew I could use it for travel and buy a regular size bottle and if not I could give it away and I wouldn't waste as much money.

 

What I love about Sundays

 

I hate cold weather but love mine and my Boo day dates.

 

 

I was praying for a friend and mention the armor of God and she tells me that she is just starting a bible study on the armor of God and talked about how good it was so far. I order the book and once it came in I watched the first video on Vimeo for free. Its going to be amazing I can already tell and only on lesson 1.

 

How cute and what an OCD heaven this caddy is. Amy Jo you rock for the picture you sent as an example. Love how all my stuff is all together and ready.

 

Working together

This time of year is the Farmers down time for most but my Farmer its the opposite due to our cows. We have a cow sale in March that we sell our cows at and it has gotten bigger and bigger each year. This year we have more cows than we have ever put in there and so that means double the work. Nick and I are fortunate that we can work together. I think it is because we don't mind being around each other days on end. I mean lets face it we are hardly ever apart. We have been getting our cows ready and sending in paper work, catalogs passing out, advertising, updating our own H5 website, making brochures, taking pictures, getting tables and tablecloths ordered for our H5 table, making gift bags for our buyers, designing and ordering hats, pens, and koozies, and that's just a small bit into out "cow sale" ready life lately. We still have a lot more left to do but we are making progress and checking it off our list. We still have tons of work left to do on the website but we are slowly coming along.

We have also been artificial inseminating some of our heifers. This is our first time dealing with A.I. It's been an interesting last few weeks to say the least. My whole schedule has been around the heifers. I had to reschedule some appointments due to these heifers having to be given shots at a specific time. Nick and I have learned so much and I will say it wasn't without a lot of laughs and I hope I'm doing this right with a few cow in heat jokes here and there.





 

We were talking while one of our lunch dates about who would of thought in 2004/2005 when we talked about how we would love to get a few cows as a hobby and how that few grew and as we grew even more and found our true love in the cattle industry: Registered Black Herefords. In 2011 that's when we sold our herd and went head registered black hereford only. It's crazy to think we went from 1 child building a fence for a few cows we had dreamed of having as a hobby to now 3 kids and a full time cattle operation. This is why I tell my kids anything is possible with God on your side and ambition to go for what you want.  

 

 

 we all know the girls and I couldn't have just a black and white plain jacket...





It finaly happened...

We have been trying to get some family pictures for what seems like forever now. The weather has played a huge part every time I would schedule something it would rain or either be to wet to take them. Nicks mamaw is going to be 75 in February so I thought getting everyone together for one big family picture would be perfect.

My girls...

I love love love having daughters. They grow up into your best friends. Maci is at the teenage years and so far so good. I am their mom firs then their friend but so far I haven't had to venture to the mom only side. I love hanging out with her and listening to all of her stories and jus catching up with her I also feel privileged she feels like she can tell me anything. Mauri is in a sewing and cooking spree right now and  I love teaching her and enjoying the time spent.

I cant wait to get these pictures back. Believe it or not it went so fast and smoothly. It was well planned thanks to AB's list.

Fri-Yay



 

1. Tried a new potato soup recipe and it was a hit and the bonus was it is a healthy version of potato soup. We will be making it again in our near future

 

2. We have 8 heifers that are in the process of artificial insemination. This is our first time to ever do this and it is a fun little learning adventure. The hubs and I started the process this week.

 

no shame in the no makeup game



3. I have had a friend who was in need of prayers and I am so excited to say as of now it is a praise report. I give God all the glory for this one.

 

 

4. Mauri's basketball end this Saturday. I am so ready to have my Saturdays free. Well 2 free ones until her softball starts every Saturday.  

 

5. My Peyton plays Nick's Brady this Sunday so a little fun rivalry has been going on all week .
