My Three Sons

As soon as we discovered that William was going to be a boy, people began to make comments about My Three Sons. Little did I know that My Three Sons was a television show that began airing in 1960. However, the label could not be more fitting for my boys. Below are a number of pictures of Matthew, Peter, and William. You will note as you scan through the pictures that My Three Sons look very much alike. Can you guess which picture is which son? Toby says he will buy a margarita at Chabelita's in Vale for the person who gets the most correct! YUM!

My Baby is Growing Up!

A few weeks ago, Matthew celebrated his 9th birthday. Wow - 9 years old! He is quickly maturing into a very handsome young man. Matthew is very compassionate and caring. He is extremely bright, loves to read, build legos, play chess, and hunt! He is also very tolerant of his little brothers and is typically very helpful, especially when it comes to helping is Dad outside! I can't believe my baby is growing up!

Matthew's Birthday Cakes!
He requested Red Velvet, but we also had a chocolate on hand.
Matthew's First Duck
Matthew helped move 200 cows 8 miles down the highway last week.
It was a full day of riding the four wheeler. He was in heaven!

Feeding the Cows

When the snow starts to fall, and fall, and fall, as it did earlier this winter, it only means one thing around our place - time to start feeding the cows. As you will see below, feeding that many cows is not an easy task. Instead, it is very time consuming and does not come without risks.

Here come the Mommas!


Meet Stickers. He is our friendly Longhorn steer.
  
Toby keeps Stickers in a pasture near the house at all times.
He likes to keep a close eye on Stickers.
Someday, Toby hopes to have Stickers' horns hanging on the wall.

Uncle Greg found out that slick roads, loaded pickups, and washouts don't mix very well.
Luckily, Uncle Greg was okay. He was a bit shaken up though. I would have been too!
