Sheep Ranchers for a Day

Today we went out to Hamer to the Ball Bros sheep ranch. My friend Lindsey is related to the Balls and I know them through her. Anyway we went out expecting to hold a couple new lambs and then head home. We ended up being there almost half the day holding a couple lambs, then feeding a bum lamb and then we went on a tractor ride to pick up the sheep that where having babies. Blake, Lindsey's cousin and a high school friend of mine, drove a little tractor around while we rode on a wagon. We would find the sheep that either had just delivered a baby or was just about to and then Blake would catch them and put them on the wagon with their babies. We got to see a few lambs born and it was so much fun! Lindsey even got to help deliver one! And I got to milk a sheep, which I've never done. I have only milked goats but I haven't done that in years! Jaxon had asked to ride a sheep the whole time so just before we left Lindsey put him on a couple of sheep. They were in really small pens so they couldn't really move and Jaxon would kick them and rock back and forth saying "giddy up!" "hee-haw!" and "ride 'em cowboy!" Jaxon had so much fun, he was really sad to leave. I can't wait till we have a house and property where we can have animals!

Help Jason & Autumn Find their baby

I posted a link on our page, in the right hand column for our friends Jason and Autumn. They are looking for someone who is considering making an adoption plan for their child. This link will take you to a website that will tell you everything you need to know about Jason and Autumn. Tyler and Jason have been good friends for over 10 years. I've known Jason almost as long as I've known Tyler. Jason has this very calm and peaceful nature that makes children trust him and gravitate toward him. I don't know that I have EVER seen him loose his temper. We haven't known Autumn quite as long but I got to know her really well while we watched our husbands play basketball together. She is one of the most well-rounded and easy-going people I know. She never seams to be in a frenzy or even stressed out. She is always very level headed and calm, even in the toughest of situations. Sometimes I just don't how she does it! They are both incredibly generous. They are reliable. They are never prideful or rude. I honestly could sit here all night and tell you all the great things about them. One last thing I will say about them is that I KNOW they will be AWESOME parents. Please help them on their journey to finding their child. Help us spread the word by posting this link on your blog. Thank you very much!
