Amarillo by morning.....

Currently, I am sitting in my hotel room in Amarillo, TX.  We are here for our Junior National Limousin cattle show. There's a weeks worth of activities for all the kids.  We left Friday around midnight & arrived early Saturday morning. The day was spent setting up, washing & drying the cattle, then NAPTIME!!! Sunday the girls checked in their heifers, washed, dried & feed.  Monday the girls participated in the Beef Cook-Off, our Senior group of kids did Oklahoma Idol with Cassie Upperwood & judges Simon, Paula & Randy. They were pretty funny & did a great job!! Today was the Steer, Lim-Flex & Bred & Owned show. We didn't do as good as we would have liked, but the kids are having fun with their friends. Isn't that what life is all about....FUN with FRIENDS!!!  Tomorrow is the big show day which will begin at 8:00 a.m. & last all day. Jordan will show 1 heifer & Mylie will show 2 heifers tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! Tonight we plan to eat at Saltgrass & shop at Cavender's!!

Hope everyone at home is surviving the brutally hot temperatures!! Yesterday when I talked to my Dad it was 105 degrees.  No telling what the heat index was.  Everyone stay cool & drink plenty of liquids.  Until next time....Happy trails!!!

Goin' showin'

We just came home from showing at our state field day in Miami, OK.  The kids had fun catching up with old friends,as well as, making some new ones.  During the futurity show, Mylie placed 2nd in class 1.  Jordan placed 1st in class 2, 3, 4.  Jordan won Grand Champion & Reserve Grand Champion, as well as, some $$$$ thatwill be passed along to OSU in a few weeks.  Luke did place 2nd & Mylie 3rd in the judging contest. YAY!!! It was so VERY HOT there!!!! Saturday was spent watching the show, then banquet that night, where, Jordan received the Dean McKee Scholarship. Praise Jesus for scholarship money!!! 


Tomorrow is Monday & the start of another week.  Don't you wish the weekends longer & weekdays shorter???

I will post pics soon of the show!  Everyone have a blessed night!!

Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders.From where the sun rises to where it sets,you inspire shouts of joy.

Introducing Hot Rod Ranch......

Hot Rod Ranch.....we are a small little ranch with a donkey, Billy Jack; our dogs, Buddy & Sam are outside, then we have Max & Ella inside & we can't forget our show heifers, past & present.  I love my life here, although it can be busy.  We are currently a month away from Jordan's high school graduation.  Not only are we preparing for that, it's also a bittersweet time for myself.  She will leave for Oklahoma State University August 1st, only 10 short weeks after graduation.  It's beginning to set in that she's "gonna be a big girl now".  So I am making the most of the time I have left with her.  But I know the day we leave her at OSU, I will probably do a lot of crying in the car ride home. :'-(

Last night me, Jordan & Mylie went to the movies & watched Water For Elephants. We went for 2 reasons....$1 pop/popcorn & we wanted to watch the movie.  We loved the movie, in fact, I ordered Mylie the book for her nook. I can't wait to read that.

This is your short introduction to Hot Rot Ranch.  I will post more later.  Now it's time to get up & start deep cleaning the house for the post graduation party.  I love my life!!!! :)
