Free Rangers


This has been the month of freebies. I've decided it really pays to know high school teachers. We have been to 4 free movies this month and 2 free Ranger's games. I loved going to the ball games. I really miss being able to watch the Rockies at Coors field. That was always so fun. Anyway the Ranger's won both times so that was cool. I got sunburned yesterday so that is not fun. I'm really annoyed about it because I put sunscreen on but I still got burned.
I am so excited for Cindy's wedding in two weeks. I can't wait to see family and friends from Ft. Collins. Tammy and I need to put our heads together and come up with something to do for Cindy for a bachelorette party. Any ideas? I think the hotel may have a pool and maybe a hot tub so we might be able to do that. I should know more to do in Denver but I don't.
This Sunday we are having the end of year cell group get together at church. All the small groups come together to talk about the year and have dinner. Dinner is free so that's why we're going.
The auction for my picture I sold on Ebay ended today. The final bid was $39.01. I was flattered that people were competing to buy that. We'll see how future attempts to sell work go.

Wow! I am jealous. I am ready to go see a Rockies game. That may be more of a possibility this year with Cindy and Brad being in Denver. They sometimes get free tickets or cheap ones. Glad you are the recipient of good things.

I LOVE Rangers games, that is one reason I would totally live in the Metroplex.

I have been to only one pro-ball game in my life. (Rangers) And I thought it was lots of fun too. Looks like you had some decent seats.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...
