I am a 40ish girl who absolutely loves her life! I am blessed beyond all imagination - that doesn't mean times are always easy - but they are always do-able! My husband is so stinking cute!!!...and my kids are the greatest, I really like them a lot! We run our Century ranch together as a family, we put up our own hay, raise hereford/angus cross cattle, and do all the ranch work together as a family, with the help of "Papa", and our friendly neighbors. I love being a homemaker, helper, friend, mother, wife, coffee drinker, and stall mucker! Sometimes though - things happen around here that "I didn't sign up for"! Sometimes they are funny, sometimes not......

Praise the Lord and Pass the Peas....

okay, don't ask about the title.  I have no idea where it came from, just sounded good to me.  besides, I hate peas.

Life on the ranch is good.  Sorta a slow time right now, just feeding our heifers some hay in the morning.  The cows are out on the refuge right now, so that helps as far as feeding goes.

The two youngest kids are in full basketball mode, and Austen (our oldest) is trying to figure out which college to attend this coming fall.  Austen's a great kid, and has always been good at whatever he tries.  He was in the top 4% of California Seniors and because of that is automatically accepted into any UC he applies for.  Hopefully he'll get some good scholarships.  He's leaning toward UCDavis, either that or William Jessup University, which is a private Christian college.  He wants to either be a psychologist and/or pastor.  We sure will miss him, he's a great kid and a lot of fun to be around.   As I've said before, I really like my kids!

Lately my back's been flaring up.  Miserable.  I feel like a sloth.  I'm not in the best shape either, so that doesn't help.  This week I head to my doctor to talk about my weight and my back issues.  It's sorta like going to the dentist, you hate it, but know you have to do it.  What makes me so mad is that I am so active here on the ranch, I really should weight 100 pounds....but it doesn't work that way. hehe

anyway,,,I do praise the Lord for all he's blessed us with, but I still don't like peas.
