Well, Lloyd (the man who leased the grass this year) gave the boys Tootsie Pop Suckers or Dots throughout shipping. Fischer looked at me today while Lloyd and his daughter were packing up to leave, and told me that he had a "sucker stick toothpick." They do not miss a thing, and if they cannot have the real thing then they will make it up!!!
The trucks were all lined up, and ready to go today. This was our last day of shipping!
I cooked lunch every other day, and dinner for the two that stayed with us for four days. I thought I better take a picture of my kitchen all ready before the crew came in to eat.
Can you see Mr. Thumbsucker tucked away inside the skidster? His brother is sitting in there too.
Here is Mr. Thumbsucker on Daddy's horse too. He was pretty content to sit up there, and watch all of the action.
Chris sorting yearling heifers for the semis. The semis have little compartments and only a certain number of yearlings will fit in each one. I heard the count to be something like this 7-23-24...and there were more numbers but I got lost.
The inside of a semi. Hazen and I thought we better check it out since it was just sitting there.
The heifers being weighed as quickly as possible.
We are having some beautiful fall days. Our deck was perfect for everyone to eat a meal and chit chat.
A Semi Truck Driver stopped and let the boys take a quick picture in front of his semi.
Fish watching Shane, Doc and Daddy sort heifers.
Get your honkers ready!!! We were able to hear lots of semis honking at us during shipping.
The boys were ready to take their honkers out when the semi rounded the corner of the shed.
Chris chit chatting with Doc. He is sure a neat man, and has lots of interesting stories. It was fun to have him and Shane stay with us. I could hear the guys laughing way after the kids and I went to bed.
The boys joining in with the roping fun!
It just isn't fun if it is all work and no play! They guys decided to rope Doc's dummy after the yearlings were shipped for the day.

Kate, thanks so much for sharing your days. Just looking at your pictures makes me feel the "excitement" of the days. The boys and their "honkers" was cute. Linda
Looks like such a fun time, what a way for the boys to be gowing up!
Little slow at checking blogs. But do want to tell you Congratulations on number three! Best wishes and best of luck to you.
Great post, Kate. So fun to see a part of your life, here, and to watch you follow your little boys around. All too soon, they'll be out there helping!
These were WONDERFUL PICS!!! I especially love the one with the boys standing in front of the semi...they look so proud of themselves! I remember having to wash out a semi truck that looked similar...yuck!!! I actually had fun. I'll bet those guys have had to work under a lot worse situations...they probably thought they'd died and gone to heaven when they were on your porch!!I love you, love, MOMxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
