november

So November flew by in a wink and well we have been busy as normal with basketball 4 nights a week...  519 Christmas wreaths made, 20 some cows hand bred by Brandon and his awesome helpers... !   Brandon also got a nice trophy with his bow.  Tayden turned 11 on the 14 and trapping was fun but short lived due to the price if hides:(  here are some picture to enjoy and hope to have more than one post on December! :)

 I squished 120 wreaths in my car on Friday;)

 The big ones we love! Mixed greens and beautiful

 We got 2 muskrat this morning !!

 Tayden Bish is 11-  he is happy, ornery, fun, most of the time loving!  He is all boy and love outdoors, rabbit hunting with his beagles and animals in general!! School is challenging but we will get through it...he is playing basketball, baseball a d flag football for now!

Brandon shot a 170 inch deer with his bow!

Chuck Utt reunion

 We had a family reunion at the cabin for Grandma Martha "chuck"  She still enjoys us all and does very well to attend and be a part of all things!! She was at the flag football game this am at 9:30, to watch 3 great grandsons play ball!  She probably then got as much done in her saturday as I did and will be up before sunset in morning!  We love her dearly and hope she stays spry!  These are the 9 grandchildren, the 3 children picture i missed sorry!

 The 9 grandchildren have created these 16 great grandchildren so far, and the 2 youngest grandsons haven't gotten hitched or reproduced yet!

These are the 10 first cousins on the Utt side!   Grandma Suzy and Papa Gary call these their grandchildren!!!  In this picture the oldest is in the top row black sweatshirt and youngest is in the bottom right blue sweatshirt.  13- 4 and the ones in between are in between in ages!!

Cows

 we had the first experience with a c section on a cow last weekend also! It was not a banner day at the Bish homefront!!!:(  Good news, we are all still alive and kicking except the calf sure didn't make it he was too big!

Dr. Rasmussen was preparing this wonderful 4 legged animal for a c - section right here in the chute in our barn lot.  He did get it accomplished and the cow is still going strong for now!

Show time

 We have another show and first 2015 fall show under our belt.  Tayden did a great job with Jackie and she is fairly calm.

He is the master showman, who is going to remember his comb, everytime in the ring, even when dad takes it out!!  He didn't win his showman ship class because his comb wasn't in back pocket.

Football

The boys are on the same flag football team and their first game was Saturday!  They won!!  Not sure why it is black and white, but kind of fun! 

Homecoming Week

 Homecoming was last week and the boys dressed up to support the Mustangs everyday! Tucker is still in elementary so they did colors.  This was "black" day!

Tayden wore farm clothes on the dress what you want in the future day!  He looks pretty normal and told me he wanted to be a cattle man!  Oh man, we have another generation farmer, "maybe?"  He could change his mind a few times!!!
