Mini Forge

so, I was told that the pictures are unviewable. I tried to fix it, so comment and tell me if it worked please!!



tonight Lawson, Landon and I tried out our little mini coal forge that we made. (Mostly Landon made it though) He even made a set of mini tongs (only about 4 inches long) and a hammer. It's mostly for the horseshoe nail hooks that I make to put on my woodburned art. But tonight we made a mini knife only about an inch long. it's adorable!!

LIFE

I really haven't been posting much lately... so I'll try to make up for it in this post.

on Friday we got the cows in and gave 'em shots and pour-on. I didn't get any pictures :( :( :( :(
I ran the headgate and endgate of the chute.(so that means I opened the tailgate for a calf or cow, and when they'd come in I'd shut it real fast so another one wouldn't come in and squash it. then after it got pour-on and (if it were a calf) a shot i'd let it out. Dad did the shots and Landon did the pour-on and we had a friend get them in from the corral behind the barn. he kept growling a the cows to scare them, it was the funniest thing.  we got all of them done that SAME day before the snow came. their was still some stragglers so we went riding to get them. the horses were really frisky because it was windy and cold. that made it more of an adventure though.


also Lawson had his eighth birthday not long ago. my cousin and I made him a chocolate cake (it was really good, but we didn't have powdered sugar for the frosting so it wasn't the right texture because I just blended crystal sugar in the Magic Bullet. haha...) and mom and him filled a pinyata with toys and candy. the only thing that day lacked was balloons. haha we had some we just forgot.












these two are just the cutest pair :)

















law and I went riding before the snow. it was sooo much fun. we set up jumps in the arena and Nala (Lawson's palomino that  I'm training for him) just loved it. she's got such smooth gaits I love it. just perfect for a little rider like Lawson. then I asked him if he wanted to go check on the cows in the pasture and he said, "well, whatever you decide determines what we'll do." lol!






I've also been woodburning. and knitting presents for people. (Because if I make Christmas presents now, they won't suspect anything. ;) )

I guess its gonna be a boy. but I'm not sure. the only sad thing is that they live 9 hours away AND in a different country) sister brought that cowrie shell home from her recent mission trip and made it into a bracelet for me. <3
