Birthday Party for Magnus

Friday, April 16 –

Sweet Magnus turned two on April 17th. Laredo and Andrea hosted a get-together at their newly completed home in Afton to celebrate the occasion. Andrea’s family came from Midland to join all the rest of us from Motley and Dickens county for lots of good food and fun. Andrea made an Argentinian specialty called “Cannelones” which was delicious and followed this wood board appetizer dish called “Picadillas”.

Laredo had just finished making this amazing table. Perfect for homeschooling and large group meals.

Everyone wanted their turn holding the newest babies, Daniella and Mia.

 

Later, we helped Magnus eat his apple spice birthday cake.

Later, I loaned my cell phone camera to Bella who managed to get some interesting pictures of the party from a different perspective.

Evening Cake and the New Babies

Thursday, April 8 –

Cattle are always up for a little evening treat. Large bags of feed pellets, called “Cake” are full of protein and help supplement lacking pastures in the winter months. This spring, wild rye grass has made its appearance, but these recently calved mothers will still come running for a taste of cake. Aren’t the babies sweet? Many of them have a Charolais sire and are sporting his color or some version of it.
