The scrumptious meal

These rib eyes with whiskey sauce were too die for. We had to use tequila for the whiskey. Steve was afraid he would put too much tequila in it. Seriously, can you have too much tequila?

The calf ridin'

Will was the one that wanted to go ride a baby heifer. So we go out to the farm and got the babies separated from their mommas. Brett rode for a few seconds and Will less than 10 but he jumped off on his own and said NO MORE. Those babies are so cute!!!

Just a playin with the cows

Will went with us to clip the heifers today. As you can tell, he had lots of fun!!!
