Adventures On The Farm

It's spring time in Southern Utah and newborns are arriving at Lex's farm. I wrangled an invite to tag along with friends with toddlers to see the newest baby calves. I was able to bring my family along.

One of the older ones

Ava & Harvey

Not sure what to think.

The latest addition.

Ritu, Ava, and very unsure calf.

Sywar & Ava

Watching Parley milking this mama.

Ava giving it a try.

Rylee & Ava 

Giving one hungry calf dinner.

Lex was so patient letting each one try.

Sywar, Ritu, Rylee, and Ava

Thanks Lex for the raw milk.

The day was perfect!!

We all had fun together exploring the farm.

It was a great day and hopefully a lot of memories made. Sywar is headed to home tomorrow. Hopefully, the airports open and she makes it. We have had a great time and will miss her.

New Friends

Rylee worked really hard getting her airline dispatcher license. Working hard didn't stop her from making friends with one of her classmates Sywar from Dubai. They studied hard but on the off hours Rylee shared St. George with her.

They both passed.

Rylee is hoping to move into Dispatch @ Skywest.

Sywar is hoping to move into Dispatch @ Emerates Air where is is currently

a flight attendant traveling the world.

Then the unexpected happened the Dubai International Airport was bombed by Iran and shut down until further notice. We were excited to have her move into Reganne's apartment until she could get a flight out. In the meantime there was still a whole lot to share.

Ryder took her to Las Vegas

One stop was the Sphere to watch 5D Wizard of Oz.

Washington City Farmers Market

Dinner @ Olive Garden

Celebrating Reganne's completing her

Veternarian Assistant Program.

We also learned a lot from her as well. She is a devout Muslim in the middle of Ramadan. We have all heard of this but didn't understand at all. We listened, learned, supported, and welcomed her into our family.

What A Greeting

Piper loves to sit or rather lay by the front door. She is keeping a sharp eye of what is going on out front. When she sees something out of place the loudest bark coming from the end of her tail. Everyone jumps and run to the door hoping she doesn't make a break for it. 

Well we hear the bark and run to the door. What did she see Reganne!!!

She doesn't push on the door.

They are both on full alert

They let her through the door.

They are both are ready

for a lot of scratches.

And a whole lot of kisses.

Piper & Dexter wouldn't let her out of their sight.  A whole lot of snuggles are required this weekend. They are very demanding.

Welcome March

March is starting off very busy...

Ruston's latest project

Building a new fence.

He did a great job.

Rylee's in class

for her airline dispatcher course.

She has been working so hard.

Love that smile!!

Reganne is also

close to finishing up Veternary Assistant course

She did it!!!

Completing the course work, FAA oral & written exam.

Rylee & Sywar

Fast friends sharing the whole school experience.

They both passed!!

Everyone has been busy and accomplishing amazing things.

 

A Long Weekend

Also known at President's weekend which always includes the Parade of Home. Dave & Ryder had the weekend planned with getting into as many houses as they can before Monday. Quick changes of plans Dave & Ryder are headed North for High School Swim State Champtionships at BYU. One last time to watch everyone compete for last time together. I am tagging along to catch quick visits with Reganne and Grandma JeanAnn.

Lighted paw prints

leading the way.

Sneek peek inside Reganne's world

She was berry busy so we met up for dinner.

Not a memory

but definitely a reminder why I didn't go with them.

Packed house

A lot of great swims and even better way

you end a swim career.

Someone missed us

and she will definitely have a kinked neck.

More clouds

Not much of the wet stuff.

Where did all the hair come from?

Extra time today to clean my 

iRobot vacuum.

Inspiration?

Loved this wall art in one of the

parade houses.

I need to convine him to make one for us.

Puppy play date

Letting them run out their energy.

It's fun to watch them hang out.

Failed Apple Crisp

I couldn't find a recipe so tried from memory.

My memory failed!!

It was nasty.

Complaint of the week!!

Coming out for lunch and finding large truck

parked behind me.

I could wait it out or try manouvering without hitting it.

Well!! I didn't hit it.

Traveling from one end of the state to the other was fun but not on a regular basis. We are all exhausted. Maybe catch a nap before going back to work on Tuesday.

Mom's Random Photos Issue #1

The teasing comments about my random pictures inspires me for a new series. Welcome to issue #1.

Michael Phelps

Ryder's 25 cent gold fish from Petco

Will be celebrating his 6th birthday in a couple of weeks.

Bought during spring break before COVID shut the world down.

Side note he is now too large to flush down the toilet.

He will be buried in the backyard in our pet graveyard when the time comes.

Trying to find a better

alternative to my love of soda.

This is not that!!

I am definitely not a fan of stevia as a sweetener.

Now I have 30 cans of the stuff in my garage.

Does anyone want the leftovers?

Caligraphy class

a Valentine's activity for anyone interested.

It's hard work keeping

the words looking good.

I need more practice it's been a long time since Mrs. Taylor's 3rd grade class.

Treat for RSVP early 

for BON Easter Celebration

Afternoon treat

Hummas, Almond Ranch Dressing,

and carrots

It was really good and I'm not a hummas fan.

We are having some fun adventures and learning along the way. Watch for the next issue.

 

Weekend Full of Sports

Dave was the lucky winner of UTech Basketball tickets plus dinner. A fun date night for sure. One small issue that keeps rearing it head or rather I haven't accepted it yet. You can no longer take a purse, backpack, or larger bag into the building. Back to the Hummer I walked and left my purse.

Good seats

A few treats with a double overtime win.

Super Bowl Sunday! This year it's all about the food, commercials, and maybe the halftime show.

New recipe!

Easy cinnamon rolls made with Hawaiian rolls

Verdict too much cinnamon & sugar.

Will try again with the lighter hand.

Hot wings

Made in the air fryer

Good for a first time try.

Ryder was waiting patiently for the F1 commercial. The commercials were a little weird or maybe a whole lot weirder. Halftime show was a whole different matter. We decided to watch both and compare notes. One had great set design, one I couldn't understand a word that was being said or rather sung. The other one great music that you could sing along with. Both had their target audiences that found both enjoyable. 

My observation this weekend should be about the game. Leave the politics and division at the gates.

Better luck next year!!
