We love our ONE year old!

Isn't this the best cake?!?! She "whipped" this up in a hurry and it still turned out great! Yay for wonderful (talented) friends!


Some of our little fish. 
Wow! Our littlest love turned 1 years old this weekend. This past year has been wonderful with her. We seriously lucked out with the sweetest easiest little love bug. Since she is so darn sweet, we had a watermelon themed birthday celebration for her. She is definitely "One in a Melon!"
I couldn't get too many pictures without her face being covered but in this picture she's blowing kisses to her great grandparents. 💕
Aspyn with her Uncle Biggun and Grandpa Norm. They gave her a beautiful beaded bracelet and barretts.

Thanks to Pinterest we had an italian soda bar! So yummy and many folks hadn't ever tried one before and they all noted how yummy/easy they were. Yum! 
We wanted to keep it low-key and easy going so we kept it to close family and didn't even send out official invites (my pre-3rd baby is dying inside). We have a wonderful bounce house rental that comes to our valley from Mesquite so we rented a water slide bounce house for the older kids to play. They rental owners are so wonderful and deliver the bounce house early in the day so the boys got to play all day long. They were wore out by the time the actual party started but that's okay. We were so thankful for the wonderful weather, yummy food and good company. The cake was made by a dear friend and was absolutely adorable!
She is so talented and she said that it was a "thrown together" cake. It definitely far surpasses anything I could do- even with tons of time. LOL. I started ordering watermelon themed items back in April when all I could think about was summertime and watermelon 😜 Here are a few of the photos. I really slacked at taking pictures of the fun but you can get the general idea!

We LOVE beef.

"Beef. It's what's for dinner."  "Eat beef. The west wasn't won on salad." "Where's the Beef?"  These are a few of our favorite age-old beef slogans in our home. Yes, they are used way too often but we love them. Just like we love our beef. I could create a long blog post all about the quarantine musings we have been doing to keep our busy little family from going insane, but I think I will focus on something that has been a backbone to our family for a long time. This quarantine has brought a new opportunity for our family to try something that we haven't ever done before. So sit down, grab some yummy popcorn and start reading about our recent beef journey. We love beef, You do too! Go figure! My big love is a cowboy. Okay, he is probably grimacing over that word. Or at least I am. It just bothers me. I don't know why but it drives me crazy. Rancher? Farmer? I don't know which "label" I like but that...

I love my Business & Industry License

"At the start of 2019, 7 million U.S. jobs remained unfilled, and American employers consistently cite trouble finding qualified workers. While some liberals insist a "skills gap" doesn't exist, all evidence points to the contrary. These gaps are moreover made worse by a higher education system that ill-equips graduates for the workforce" (Craig, 2019). So what? What does that mean? That means that we as: parents, teachers, volunteers, etc. Need to work together to prepare our future employees. There. I said. It. So is this me saying that we all need to go back to college to spend 4 (or 12 in my case) years to become teachers in CTE (Career & Technical Education)? Guess what? NOPE! No. Nada. Negative. Nix and Nay! What?!? Yes, that is correct. Don't believe me? Let me tell you about a secret that until recently, was not even known. Or at least I sure as heck didn't know about it. Well, I can't say I didn't know about it, I just didn...

We LOVE writing buyer letters and you will too

I have been getting A LOT of calls/texts/messages on how in the heck to write a buyer letter? This question is a great one and I am so happy to help. HOWEVER (Here is the But), I will NOT write it for your child. I won't write it for my own son. I won't. I won't. I won't. Stop flipping asking.  I will  show you where I found some great resources,  the type of information to include (and what to NOT include),  and who to send to. Since you are still reading, let's go over these points together.  Here are some great resources. So first and foremost, if you are trying to find a buyer for the Clark County Junior Livestock Show that occurs here in Logandale, Nevada during the Clark County Fair. Then the best place you'd want to start is their website . This website gives A TON of information about the show, the auction date, add-on money options, etc. Granted, they don't go into the nitty-gritty's that I am sure you are wanting and getting con...
