Long Live the Matadors

Despite being people who live fairly scheduled lives, and enjoy structure and predictability, Steven and I tend to have a penchant for spontaneity and adventure when there isn’t something scheduled. After a week of rain (thank you, Lord!), both kids’ soccer games on Saturday were rescheduled, so we found ourselves with an open Saturday last…… Continue reading Long Live the Matadors

Off to Preschool!

After a summer of fun, Henry is back to preschool! Henry could not be more opposite of his sister- where she is calm, he is wild. Where she is measured and responsible, he is free and at times, mischievous (although he owns this- he will misbehave and be completely honest that he did, which both…… Continue reading Off to Preschool!

On the Fence

It’s been a busy few days of ranching adventures around Red Bank Cattle Company! We started off the week on Monday with a nice, clean house because we had Steven’s family over for lunch after church on Sunday. What better way to start a Monday than everything clean and organized?? I got ready for the…… Continue reading On the Fence

Amos Moses, The Cajun Bullmastiff

When you love something/ someone, it’s fairly intuitive what you do- you cherish it, are grateful for it, spend as much time as you can with it, and appreciate it. And we loved Boudreaux the bullmastiff so much, that we did those things, for sure. And we let that love convince us we needed another…… Continue reading Amos Moses, The Cajun Bullmastiff

Bookshelf Review January- August 2023

Happy Friday! In the past, I have been with it enough to review books by month as I’ve read them, but I’ve got several months to catch up on, so I’m going to give a rating/ short review for every book I’ve read so far in 2023, and shout out my top three favorites so…… Continue reading Bookshelf Review January- August 2023

A Load of Bull

When we first started researching Angus cattle, we learned that one of the largest Angus seedstock producers was about 30 minutes from us at the time. We spent many a weeknight or random weekend afternoon driving the 30 minutes to Cameron to 44 Farms to check out their immaculate grounds and the bulls in their…… Continue reading A Load of Bull

Off to Kindergarten!

This week is a week I’ve been both excited for and dreading for as long as I can remember- our oldest started kindergarten on Wednesday! This little girl lived it up for the summer- horse camp, ballet camp, art camp, and zoo camp, along with handing out programs at their sweet babysitter’s wedding, hitting the…… Continue reading Off to Kindergarten!

Boudreaux

On January 1, 2017, we made a spur of the moment decision that changed our lives for good. We decided that our duo of lab retrievers needed a bullmastiff friend, so after searching for available litters on the AKC website, we found one just south of Ft. Worth, about 2.5 hours from us, that had…… Continue reading Boudreaux

London Calling {Part 2}

Welcome back! If you missed Part 1, click here! Day 4 was Monday morning, and after extensive research, we got ourselves to the correct train station (apparently the Tube and the train are different, and some are both but not all train stations are Tube stations and not all Tube stations are train stations. It…… Continue reading London Calling {Part 2}

London Calling {Part 1}

To celebrate Steven wrapping up medical training, we felt like we needed a big family vacation. And where do people go to celebrate big wins? Disney World! So in spring 2022, in anticipation of this graduation, I contacted a travel agency to start planning a trip to Disney World. But he was graduating in June…… Continue reading London Calling {Part 1}
