I have been corrected!

Recently a friend, Karen, chastised me for letting this blog get so out of date. I have no excuse except laziness. So, I'm going to try to do better.

Since I last wrote, we spent Christmas in Alabama for the first time in 3 years. We had a wonderful time and made lots of memories as we visited family and friends while celebrating the Birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a few pictures, Hank and cousins, Jon Wilson, and my sister Missy and husband, Larry:

Also, basketball has been in full swing for Hank. Henry and I have been very intentional to see as many games as possible, this being Hank's last year for high school sports.

To support the Wiggins Booster Club, I took on a project to make "tiger tails" and "tiger scarfs". I followed a pattern of the tail from Auburn University, the items have been a hit. It is so funny to see the children dancing around the basketball court with their "tails" wagging! (wish I had a picture to share but you'll have to imagine for now). These two pictures are of Paige and Shane, there are helping me get the tails ready for sale and I'm teaching them to sew!

Ranch life is centered around feeding operations and the calving season right now. The cowboys keep a watchful eye for new calves and help the heifers (mother cows) if there is trouble during the delivery. I have still not gotten a picture of a new born calf - which just means I'm staying inside the house too much. Henry helps feed cows pretty much every morning. He enjoys the equipment used for loading up the feed. Daily rations are carefully monitored as each cow is alloted a certain percentage of the load. This is a cool picture I took recently early on Sunday morning. The ground was covered in snow and the sunrise was beautiful. Henry is driving the truck and in one picture you can see the cows sticking their necks through the fence to reach the feed.

We'll I'll stop for now so I can save some material for later. There is lots to share , eagles nesting, coyotes howling, cows moving - oh, that reminds there is a herd moving in today and I want to get ya'll a picture!

Keep reminding me to write - it sure is easy to get lazy!
