A cattle sale & a wedding

Here I am a week behind in my blogging!!  I will try real hard this week to get caught up!  I have a lot to write about!  A week ago Saturday was a really big day!  Susan & I flew in to Grand Island & our plane landed right about 10:00 pm Friday night.  We pulled into my drive way about midnight.  Kyle & the girls were up & going early Saturday morning as it was sale day!  I was so excited to see my little family so I got up early also!  Whitney gave me the biggest hug when I held her.  It melted my heart!  It was a chilly morning to head out & round up the cattle.  Kyle & Jenae went out as soon as it was light enough to get going.  It was strange to not see Kyle on horseback.  Hope, Jenae & Chip were the riders, Ben, Kyle, Trey & Aubree were a foot.  I was moving pretty slow & it was really cold out so I enjoyed snuggling with Aubree & Whitney.  We made it out to the heard about the time the semi got there to load out. 

Once they were loaded & on there way, the girls & I went to home to get ready for the day.  Kyle & Chip & Aubree went down to Ericson as soon as the cattle were loaded up, while Jenae, Whitney, Marilyn & I didn't head that way until 11:00.  The cattle sold good & the kids were all fairly well behaved during the sale, so it was a good day :-)

That night Marilyn fixed ribs & had everyone over to watch the Husker game, but Whitney & I went to O'Neill to a wedding reception for  my very good friend Amber.  Amber looked beautiful & seems so happy!  It was a fun evening, but I was exhausted so I think I was home before 10:00!

Here comes the truck to load out!  Bree watching from afar!

My social butterfly!  Now that she is walking all over, she does not know a stranger!!!  She wondered around the tables looking for people who would fuss over her!

I forgot toys to entertain Whitney.  Glad Lacey & brought some for Colin. 

My little dancing queen!  Whitney loved the dance!!!
