Life on the farm

On Saturday we were up with the sun (literally....out the door by 5am!), heading north to move cows back home.  A few of our pairs, in addition to Donald and Heather's cows were up at a his dad's place near Molalla.  In all there were six trailer loads back to Brownsville.  Lucky for us, the day was coordinated by super-planner Donald and he had extra trailers and drivers lined up so everyone only needed to make one trip!  The boys had a great time, while I just tried to keep them and the two little girls (Dani slept almost the whole time) out of the way.   
 
 
 The other evening we were headed to check cows at the neighbor's place....I loved the way the sun was hitting Carol's barn and couldn't resist the picture.  I also liked both pictures I took of our bull, and one of Gracie trying her hardest to pull some leaves off the tree.  Cindy's horse is also out there, the boys keep asking to bring him apples or carrots and I keep forgetting.
 In other happenings.....within the last two weeks Weston has become a pretty good quad rider.  He is actually quite good, easing into the gas pedal, putting it into reverse to back it into the barn to park it, etc.  He wants to go faster, but we won't let him out of first gear.  He typically only goes in circles around the house, but every now and then I will let him take a trip around the field.  Tyge kept wanting to go with him, so I already had to buy him a helmet too!
