Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow

I absolutely love the Almay "Bring Out The *insert eye color*" collection.

I have hazel eyes. Browns & Greens all jarbled up together. I've loved all the other trios I have tried, so I figured I would try the "Bring Out The Green"

I love the green in my eyes. Why not try and bring it out more, right?
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Wrong!



This didn't "Bring Out the Green"

This brought out the ELVIRA.



It's ironic that the song starts out
"Eyes that look like heaven" LOL

Anyone have green eyes? Need some eye shadow? Because this is never going on these hazel eyes again!

Bye-Bye Freshman Football!

Joshua is #50
We had a blast watching him this season.
But I am SOOOO NOT old enough to have a kid in High School. Not even close ;)

Hello Basketball season.

Oh, and tonight my son is at the High School participating in a long standing "tradition".

He is getting a haircut by a Senior player.

I can barely wait til he gets home. Ugg.

************************************************

He is home. Oh my gosh!

He has to stay this way until the Varsity team loses in the playoffs.

This is going to be great for church. NOT.

And of course he likes it. Teenagers! ;)

I won!

If you look on the right side of my blog there is a link to "Hip Mama's Place" where I frequent, and occasionally enter contests.

Well low and behold I won a MAJOR Prize!

No it wasn't a sexy leg lamp, it was this:

A Dynamo Label maker with all the fixin's!

YAY! Thank HMP!

My son, the dirt specialist.

Joshua is taking Agriculture this year, and FFA.


Seems sort of nerdy to you non-country folks but around here it's almost a necessity.


The one thing I like about it is the amount of scholarship opportunities that are available to students who involve themselves in these.


Joshua has no intentions on becoming a farmer, but is getting pretty interested in the animal parts. He is thinking about becoming a Veterinarian.


Joshua has been in AG for a total of 6 weeks.


Yesterday they went to "District Soils Judging" in a neighboring town.


We are talking our whole school district, which includes 5 towns AND Seniors who have been in Ag for over 3 years now.


Joshua casually mentions to me in passing that he has to go to Bend next week for Ag because he placed 1st in district. FIRST!


We were so proud :)


My boy knows his soil!


They dig a series of "pits" and the boys go into each one and judge the soil.
Some of the kids were making fun of Joshua for taking so long in each trench. He was the last one out of 2 of the 3 pits. I guess his patience paid off.

Do you have bad breath?

If you "settle" out of court instead of sue, you can get a free pack of gum.

The little questionaire and movie that follows is quite entertaining too.

I picked Sweet Cinammon :)

A weekend with the girlfriends

Thurday morning Jared drove me to the airport where I met Crysty. Along with her baby Amy we flew to Salt Lake City where we were met by Shayla and Victoria. We met up with everyone else and ate lunch and then drove to our "cabin" where we had a beautiful view.

Some of the ladies have mental issues.....



But I still love each and every one of them.

I had such a wonderful 4 days! I can't wait til next year :)

New Hair-do

So I went and got my hair done. I only do it like twice a year, so it's a big thing for me.

My hair was finally down to my shoulder blades (maybe 3 or 4 inches past my shoulders), but I decided to wack it off again. (Now I wish I hadn't , but oh well it'll grow back.)

We added some blonde and red highlights too.

Ignore the tired face and the dirty t-shirt.

I thought it was different. Cute. I will get used to it and in fact I really quite liked it until.....

This morning, It was my turn to style it.

Why? Oh why, can't I ever get my hair to look like it does right after the hair dresser finishes with me?

I can never get the cute little flippy things to flip right. I look like and idiot.

I feel like this doing this:

Or this:

Let's hope tomorrow is better.

One more addition to the farm....

(The new bull with Joshua, cousin Beau and Dallin)
Now I can't remember if it's a Hereford, or a Holstein. Not that it matters, it's all the same
when it's meat on the table.
Tyleigh had to have her own cow since everyone else did.
OH and, we have had 5 eggs in the last 4 days. We left them in the coop for the hens to sit on. To me there aren't enough yet to eat, and they are pretty small.
We will prolly end up throwing rotten eggs away I'm sure, but there is a chance they could hatch, no? I mean, they didn't have electric incubators back in the day...and the eggs hatched somehow.
We'll see.

So our "Farm" is growing....

This is what Jared showed up with a few days ago:

The little guy behind Dallin is Colt.

I am starting to feel like Old McDonald's wife.

Joshua was the "unloader"

This is a friend of ours, Toby.

Notice the stuck foot. Poor thing. It was easy to get out though. No Harm done.

Toby took home 2 of the calves.

And we kept 3.

The totally black one, the only brown one....

And this black and white one.

Aren't they cute?

Roosters Or Hens??

I thought that I had taken all of our Roosters to butcher except for one. Nope. We at least have 3 more roosters. Oops.
Then we have these 2...
ETHEL and LUCY? (I think they are Hens but I am no expert, obviously)
OR FRED AND RICKY?
One of Each?
And what Breed are they?
Because I haven't a clue. THANKS!
P.S. If you click on the pictures they will enlarge. :)
