happy new year!

whew!  the end of December was a complete whirl-wind and i'm so happy it's over.  although i have plenty of events coming up to keep me busy, it should be exciting and scary at the same time. 

as a brief overview--- i thought i was "done" with Christmas on Dec 8.  I went home to help with cows and then the email came that they were going to do another one.  I had nothing left so I started from scratch prepping for another show the 21-22.  It wasn't as good as the first one, but still profitable and I was glad I did it.  Finally it was time for Christmas!  We went to Atwood, then Ulysses and home.  It was 5 days of no responsibility.... and more importantly, no chocolate. 

Now we're back to the grind.  Although that sounds boring, 2014 is already beaming with opportunities and there shouldn't be too many dull moments here.

for the first time in about 30 years the milk tank is leaving the barn....but this time for good.  dallas and i pretty much manhandled this thing.  the barn is turning into a wood shop for my dad and yes... i already have "my order" in

between the market and leaving for kansas, we did a little AR photo shoot for a new magazine company.  it was pretty cool to have the indoor range entirely to ourselves

i did a gingerbread house w/ the kiddos.  this picture looks like we are much neater than we actually were.  there is nothing kids like more than spreading a 6'x3' area with sugar

you guessed it-- doing a series on cows.  good thing they were willing to do a photo shoot for me

my sister went all out on her Christmas sweaters this year.  my parents were lucky enough to win them. 

my mom came and saved the day and helped me with my chocolate booth again.  i'm looking for helpers for an event in March.  bueler?  bueler?

bella bean turned 1 on the 27th.  she was a pretty trashed dog by the end of the week. 

prairie dog hunting with the cousins.  i had to promise i wouldn't talk much.
