Meet Rufus

Meet Rufus the barn mouse.
 Rufus is curious.
 Rufus is brave.
 Rufus loved having his picture taken.
Rufus barely lived to see another day.

I saw him again the next day.

We threw a cat at him.

He lived to see yet another day.

Rethinking the value of the 16 cats seen on the place.

Gianna's 6th Birthday

Gianna had a wonderful 6th birthday on April 5th.  She invited Grandpa and Grandma Gebes and Aunt Courtney out for a homemade pizza dinner and cake and ice cream.  She was spoiled as usual, but happily shared her toys with her sisters.  She's grown up so much in the last year.  I can't wait to see what this year will be like for her.  She's her daddy's number one helper most days.  She'd rather check cows than do math and sit in a tractor instead of sitting to read to me.  She's not quite as bossy as she has been in past years.  I think the twins have taken over that job.  She's always planning the next sleepover at Grandma's house and begging to play with the dogs.  I think she's a daddy's girl from head to toe!







 She told her Grandma Gebes she wanted a clock for her wall.

Aunt Courtney gives the best IOU a fun day presents ever!! 














 OPEN THIS ONE, NOW!!

 A fishing pole - best. gift. ever.





 Her Grandma Gebes was giving her a bad time about strawberry milk - Grandma doesn't like strawberries anything.

 Thanks, Grandpa and Grandma Bestgen and Loman for the great gifts!

Rex's Puppy

Rex is the happiest boy in the house.  He is the proud owner of a puppy now.



 Meet Rogue.
She's a cow dog mixed breed.



 Heart melt.

Rogue came from a litter that was owned by the grandson of the man that Rex was named after.

It Isn't All Work


It isn't all work around here.  Sometimes we take time to read or play. It's always the best night when Daddy reads to the girls.  They treasure every moment with him - from reading books to checking cows.
