A bit of redneck achievement and ingenuity!

That is our Bubba in all her Chapter Degree glory!!  I am thrilled that she got her degree from the BRHS chapter..and her brothers think it is way cool and aspire to join her as FFA members one day.

Bubba getting her degree from Mr. Creer.

So our hill is one slick, icy, curvy stretch of torn up road right now so......

I had the brilliant idea to put my buddy Liam in the back of the truck with a large bag of rock salt (donated by Travis with the pointed request that we put it on the road)....

then we proceeded to drive up the hill (slowly) while My buddy threw rock salt on the road.  It worked great but we broke the cup (using the royal we here) and needed A LOT more salt!  Did I mention it was all of 2 degrees outside when my buddy agreed to do this?  Love that kid!

Hugh took advantage of this week's 'warming' trend, meaning there were no negatives on the thermometer, to work on his snow fort every time they bundled up to go feed the bottle babies.Notice the nice chair for visitors...

Due to a lack of fresh snow, Hugh has diligently shoveled snow from all over the front yard to make the walls of his snow fort. 

We finally made a rule that when you cannot feel your cheeks or they are redder than the siding on the house you have to come in.  This boy loves to build anything.  I will take some pictures of the cat house he and Bubba conjured up from scrap wood and a speeding sign.
