Baby Bash

The newest cousin, Sebastian Hein, was showered with love along with Aunt Gabby and Uncle Jonathon. Nick an Cassie hosted a baby shower for them in the beginning of March and it was super cute! The food and decorations were amazing and it was so sweet being a part of it all. Brooklyn made "Bash" a special blanket all by herself. The girls just can't wait to meet their new cousin!

The Cowtown and a Calf

Our annual Cowtown Half Marathon had a few more participants this year! Papa, Brooklyn and Cayleigh ran in the Kids Calf 5K the day before Aaron and I ran. They did awesome! I am so proud of these girls and their determination. It was also awesome that my dad, Papa, ran with them too! This was his very first 5K and they all finished just under 38 minutes!

Way to go Papa, Brooklyn and Cayleigh!!

Aaron and I had another good run the following morning. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we had one of our better times finishing, 2:05! It is such a privilege to do this run with my best friend each year. We have such a great time chatting, encouraging and pushing one another.

This view never gives this horrendously tough and long hill to the courthouse any justice. Ugh!

Another year completed in the books.

Fence Repairs at The Ranch

Several cows from the property right next to the ranch had broken through the fence and started getting comfortable on the Hein land, so some fence repairs were needed back in February. The 6 of us and Gamma and Gampa went out to get some work completed. I'm always amazed at just how beautiful and peaceful it is out there. Lots of work is always had, but so is lots of fun!

We cut down tons of mesquite tree limbs, repaired a large portion of the fence, went fishing, exploring, and soaked up time together.

Hillbilly kids!
