going once...going twice...sold!

what do you do in a small town for fun? go to the cattle auction! jackson and i met a couple of friends at the sale barn yesterday to see a bunch of cows and bulls go to the highest bidder. jack told me before we arrived, "when you see some cows's eyes...yell... 'cow's eyes'."

jackson insisted on wearing his cowboy hat and boots while his buddy opted for the santa hat.

when the auction started, jack assumed the above position for almost the entire time we were there (an hour). he was completely absorbed in all that was going on, yelling "that's a big cow" many times throughout the sale. i accidently bid on one heifer, but someone else outbid me!

when mackenzie takes my camera

mackster has been stealing my camera frequently to take pics of sunsets and other random things (cow poo included). here are a few of my favs.

this sunset was breathtaking!

this one made me smile.

this one makes me want to hurl.

paw paw's in town

paw paw came in town for a brief visit this week. we went hiking and had a picnic in the state park while the girls were in school, then later watched the kids choir performance and saw the nativity story movie. the visit was short, but sweet.

thanks for coming paw paw!
