The Cattleman


We have 106 mother cows on our place. We had our first calf born on Feb. 15. Ken had hoped she would arrive on Valentine's day but it was not to be. Each morning Ken is found "outstanding in his field" chopping ice in the water trough. Some mornings the ice is very thick!! It is so nice to have the cows and have baby calves arriving. Spring is on its way!

The Teacher


Grace has learned many things in her short 6 months of life and she has learned in the arms of her mother and father.... except for drinking from a glass!! This grandma takes credit for that. I have been offering her drinks of water for some time and she is good. She just gets excited when she sees water. I can't wait to teach her more things. Then when asked, Where did you learn that? She will say, "I learned that at Grandma's house!"

Divine Service


Jill is always very generous with her daughter and lets this Grandma give service to her granddaughtter!! I love to bathe this beautiful little girl, change her diapers, and dress her. GraceE is precious!

Johnny and Cheryl




I had an opportunity to go and see my brother and sister in Utah just before Christmas. It was just so important for me to see them. Ken, Jill and Grace loved me enough to accompany me. Jill called it a burn and turn. We went down on Sunday and returned on Tuesday...fast... but for me it was worth it. We all enjoyed it very much and of course we got to see not just John and Cheryl but their families... whom we love very much.
