Car Wreck

I can't believe I got in a wreck! To begin with, I am really thankful and feel blessed that no one was hurt. I was in the car alone, and the other driver only got a scratch on the side of their car. As luck would have it, the whole front end was ripped off my car with cracked head lights. The white square under the left headlight is the window washer fluid! After all was said and done and the nice policeman said I could drive home, I went over to my beautiful bumper, and literally FOLDED IT IN HALF and put it in the trunk with all the other little bits and pieces that had flown off. I will tell you one thing, from now on I will always go to the light to turn onto Main Street and not try to dodge cars trying to go south from Macey's. Parting shot....I didn't even cry!

Cow Project

Because of the farm blood that the Webb's have racing through their viens, we as a family, decided we would buy some steers, fatten them up so that we can have a years supply of beef in our freezers. So this is where the 'pie hits the road' sort of speak. Each of our cows have a name and a distinct personality! The picture below shows all three of them. From left, T-bone, Rump-roast and Tri-tip. They are waiting for the grain that has molasse in it. Yummy!! Dax and Easton filling the water tank up so they can take it down to the cows.

Rump roast is sitting and T-bone is standing. T-bone is definetely the most calm, sweetest disposition (at least for a cow with horns that is). Rump roast has a few self-esteem issues. He has a unique look about him, which causes him to be shy and reserved. He is last to come and eat.

Now here is the bully of the cows, Tri-tip!! He has to prove his manhood because, I mean, look at him. HE HAS EARRINGS IN!!! He looks like Minnie Pearl, or Yoda with earrings. My land, he is aggressive with the other two and seeks to show them who is boss. When Scott and I were feeding them the other night he told me about Tri-tip and it made me mad so I said, "if he pushes the other two away from the grain, let me have a pitch-fork and I'll show him and thing or two." Scott thought that was funny. But truly, when you have been around livestock, (we raised a few lambs, pigs and a cow or two when I was young), you don't put up with bullies. Anyway, whatever we had in our hand, whether it was a pitch fork or a 2x4, you smacked them on the head to let them know whose boss. I guess that would be steer abuse nowadays. :)

Well, we will keep y'all updated with the raising of our cows. In the meantime.....I'm an old cow-hand.....from the Rio Grande....etc, etc. etc.

Easter Celebration

I love Easter time. It seems as if the world is renewing itself with life. It makes us all think about how important the Savior and his sacrifice for each of us truly is. I love Him. He is the most important person in my life. I love conference. When I try to think of my favorite talk, it is very difficult because each one meant so much to me. Like spring, conference renews my dedication and love for our Savior.

Since I was a little girl my family always went out on Easter Saturday to West Canyon (over by Cedar Fort) to have a picnic. It was so much fun. We would play hide-n-seek, have a shooting contest and rolled our colored eggs down a nearby hill. The farthest egg won a prize (usually a candy bar). It was steep competition. We continue this tradition to this day. But this year it was too snowy and cold. So we improvised. We had a BBQ and an Easter Egg hunt in the livingroom. The parents brought 10 plastic eggs filled with candy for each of their children. Two of the eggs had an X on the egg. If you got an X, you opened the egg to see which Aunt you go to for a special prize. Along with watching conference, the cows delivered (pictures of those in a few days) and the priesthood meeting, we were all busy and happy. Here are some pictures.

Brion, Nick and Brett chowing down. This is Katie-my-lady (thats what I call her)

The kids checking out their goodies.

I couldn't resist this picture. Easton dressed himself....notice the socks. Gotta love that kid!

I don't know how to flip the next picture, but this is Allie. Notice her sweet smile.

Clay always has a ball in his hand. Notice the nose....he did a face plant outside of their house, poor kid.

Lexie holding her Easter bag and her blankie. She is total girl!

Another picture of the group. Gotta love that Clay :)

Anyway, it was really a fun Easter, though I really missed rolling our colored eggs down a rocky hill. We hope that all of you had a wonderful Easter. Love to all---
