She’s more than a cow. She is who greets us every morning for the daily move to fresh grass. She is the momma whose maternal instincts terrified you when you tagged her baby. This momma is even more than that. She is years of thought, sweat, and effort to get just the right genetics toContinue reading “She’s more.”

5-0
The Hippie culture called it the “Summer of Love”. 1967, June 13, small town America…where I am sure they didn’t refer to it as the Summer of Love, but just a hot, humid summer day. They say that low pressure brings babies, and that was the day I entered the world~ wait for it….right smackContinue reading “5-0”
Mother’s Day
Today we celebrate Mom. I used to not have a lot of emotion about this day. All it meant to me was it was a day to celebrate something that I wasn’t. That giant, gaping, big old hole in my heart and soul was empty, dark, and, well, even emptier. So, I prayed. I prayedContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
{future} superhero
They say that a baby boy is just a superhero in disguise. This sweet little man sure has the perfect ingredients for a superhero, a big heart, a gentle smile, a faithful sidekick, and the firm foundation to let his talents soar. I was blessed to be able to spend an afternoon with Mr. CContinue reading “{future} superhero”
Beauty & Strength
I have had the honor of working with some fantastic seniors this year. This young lady was no exception. A quick smile, a quicker wit and well grounded. Something not easy to come by in today’s world. When I asked her what she wanted the world to know about her, she almost immediately quotedContinue reading “Beauty & Strength”

Aw gosh. I feel like all my posts wax poetically about family. And they probably do. But, I have been blessed to once again work with an awesome family, that happens to be a fantastic looking bunch. This bunch came over to the ranch the other day and we snapped a few pics to updateContinue reading “Masterpiece”
Never boring…
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Beauty without expression is boring.” Well, let me tell you what. I was anything but bored with this family. Little Miss N’s facial expressions tell their own story. Adventure (there were creatures to be spotted from the swing set), a little boredom with me taking her picture, absolute joyContinue reading “Never boring…”
A little world…created by LOVE
This little family. This little family has been a part of our lives since we moved to Missouri. When we first moved here, Joey did all of our chores while we were in the process of moving. Little did we know that we would share a lot of ‘firsts’ with them. Joey and Faith wereContinue reading “A little world…created by LOVE”
Rodeo Man
I couldn’t help but think of the words to the song, “I’ve Got to be a Rodeo Man” by the late, great Chris LeDoux after spending the afternoon with this young man. Quick with a story, a smile and full of charm this one is… I fully expect that we will see great things fromContinue reading “Rodeo Man”
Sunday Funday
Last Sunday I had the privilege of getting to spend the afternoon with one of the most fun families around. We had a great time exploring the Ozarks backroads and playing in the creek bed. These four littles and their mom and dad are a true example of family and it was a joy toContinue reading “Sunday Funday”
