Happy Birthday!

Saturday, Feb. 2, was my mawmaw's birthday! We went to my cousins and had a great time. For lunch, we had my mom's famous Santa Fe soup, potato soup, and broccoli cornbread. YUM!!! We all wished the birthday girl would cook, but it was her birthday, so we gave her a break. She got a one-hour massage, gift cards to shop with my mom, a hand-made gravy bowl, and something else from San-Diego that my Uncle and Aunt are going to get her. She is so lucky(about the massage and gravy bowl, not the shopping spree!). My mom actually made the cake, and it was delicious! My cousin, Grant, and I played his XBOX and played basketball. That was the day that I actually found out I was sick(what a bummer).I have the Flu as of now, and I feel horrible. Me and my cousins

My crazy grandparents!

BBBBLLLLOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Farm-Land Fun!

In early January, my dad bought us a farm! It is 80 acres with many acres of farmland and the rest woods. It has two ponds, many rock formations, a couple of caves, and an old-fashioned barn. The two ponds' water is EXTREMELY down because of the drought. Our neigbhors are very nice and said that that is the lowest they have been since 1955. There are about 50 bass in the first pond and no food for them, and the second one is deserted. The barn looks like the previous owner had horses and chickens, and it has an amazing hay loft in the top floor. We have partially bushhogged the farm part, and my mom has done most of the work, although I have done part of it. It is more fun than I thought it would be! My dad's cousin, Norm, is building us a 6-acre lake! We are going to put bass, brem, and some catfish in it and it will be our new fishing spot. I got a fourwheeler for Christmas and we have found many trails and are making our own every time we go there. We hope to get a camper to put up there sometime this year. It will be right next to the lake with an amazing view of the water. There is already some barbwire around farm part, but my dad is going to finish it off and hopefully get some cows!This is the old-styled farm!

Those are the little ponds.
This is where the lake will be!


This is where we have bush-hogged.
