~We start off every January with a birthday… No, not Jesus’ birthday, that’s at the end of December… I’m referring to Tbug. Poor girl, her birthday is just 8 days after Christmas.
~We got some BEAUTIFUL sunsets!!
~My {step}daughter said she wanted a phone…. She’s 9 (see above).
~I received some words of wisdom from my dad.
~I “helped” my husband cut wood. Ok I did more than that but while I was taking photos I was less than helpful. But I like to be warm so I put the camera away and actually helped. No really, I did!
~And who doesn’t like to think?!?!
~Don’t believe me that Farm Kids are a different Breed? Check this out and you may think differently…
~You know, after a bunch of the kiddo’s in my life didn’t know who John Wayne was, I found a paper I wrote in college and gave everyone a lesson on “The Duke”
February~
~ Hubby and I got excited about some Banana Bread!! But who wouldn’t? Right?
~Sometimes you have to go sit in your old blue chair and ponder life….
~I stepped outside my comfort zone and felt a Breast Cancer Tumor on a Cadaver no less.
~Tbug loves to take over my kitchen and cook!

| She’s Making Ande’s Mint Cookies |
~February 12, 2012 – 2 years to the day after my husband proposed to me at 10:15am.
~We hauled Squirty down to Texas so that we’d get our baby in 2013.
~Our last set of baby lambs were born as we sold out of the sheep business later on in the year.
~I swear I have some of the weirdest dreams to boot!
~I told you the girl loves to cook!
 |
| Here she’s making Homemade BBQ Sauce |
~And then one of the worst things happened this month (ok maybe that’s a bit over exaggerated but still!!!) I dropped my external hard drive and have lost or messed up over half of the photos… there were 40K on the hard drive too :(. I’m still sick about it!
~Since being Chicken Farmers didn’t pan out, we’ve decided to try our hand at Bee Keeping…
~I had my first Blate with Stef from Too Much To Do So Little Time
 |
| Stef, Hubby, Me, Stef’s daughter, The Offspring |
~And seriously… Anatomy & Physiology II has you doing weird things like dissecting cats or cow eyeballs or even cadavers. It’s not a class for the faint of heart, that’s for sure!
~March
~We learned how I describe my writing style circa 2003.
~And I gave you my Camera History which has been outdated since I wrote this…
~We got some much needed quality puppy lovins!
~Now that we’re coming back around to cold dry weather, it’s so time to share my secret to soft hands, again! Yes, that is in fact chap stick.
~And you have to love funny conversations with your spouse!
Me: What are you doing?
Hubby: I’m inspecting the back of my eye lids. One of them is needing an alignment. The other one has a bent tie-rod and the horn is wired backwards.
M: I think someone is a little sleep deprived.
H: Why are you tired?
M: No you’re the one talking about tie-rods and you don’t have tie-rods in your eyes.
H: But I do have rods.
M: You have cones too.
H: Yes, that was the problem. The tie-rod hit a parking cone and everything went downhill from there.
~Attention Span, what’s that?!?!
~Seriously, you’ll never buy jarred Alfredo sauce again after this recipe!
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC18GMSRVR4]~Tbug got her first membership into the AQHYA.
~Tbug did a guest post about her Spring Break with us.
~I got into a minor fender bender on my way to class. To say I was a little shook up when I got there would be an under statement. I did find one small screw dent in my bumper where she hit me.
~Later that week I sliced the tip off my finger while making a cute hair flower.
~And I found a recipe for Hot Corn Dip that was dubbed (advert your eyes if this will offend you… I didn’t name it this, but I did laugh) Boner in a Bowl.

Love the rear view mirror pic and the chapstick tip!
aw, Tbug is adorable. I love that she cooks and bakes at such a young age. That's awesome! Those lambs are adorable-I bet you miss having lambies around sometimes. I grew up on a farm and I definitely miss it, but not all the work involved!
I love the sunset picture, beautiful. Now the words of wisdom from your dad is something I need to remember!
Call me crazy, but once again, I think I remember pretty much ALL of these posts!! haha! Love all the Tbug in the kitchen pics and the beautiful sunset one too! OH and baby lambs!!!!
Banana Bread is one of my life joys!!
Boner in a bowl….that's awesome!
Loved the review. You all sure have a good time. Love all your pictures. That Banana bread recipe sounds delic! I've got all the ingredients except the dates.. Going to make that soon!
I forgot that Marley used to be small….
Ugg. WE have a nine year old boy at home and he was going on and on the other night about when he would be able to get a phone.
Eventful march–sounds a bit rough on you though.
Wowza! You had a busy winter too! Just going to browse around in here for a while. Thanks for stopping by!
Haha you had a much more eventful couple of months than me. While on maternity leave I think I only left the house, maybe once a week!
When I get some more time I am going to be back to click a bunch of those links- I don't think I really read your blog back then. Those baby lambs are so so cute!!
So do you still raise/keep bees? I don't think I could ever do that.
And what a great idea for soft hands!
Thanks so much for hosting and recapping with me 🙂

You sure packed a lot into three months!! This is a great idea for a post/party.
