Here is quick little catch up from the blur of fun we’ve
been packing into the spring months
- Congratulations to the newly wedded BRY & JAKE FENSKE! It was an honor to attend little Ms Bryola Worthern’s wedding. What a beautiful bride walking down the isle and a celebration afterwards to rival any. Thank you so much to Bry & Jake for letting us be a part of your special day.
Also, an added bonus, my favorite, Tiffany Marie Wagner made the journey down
to celebrate and any day you get to spend with Tiffany is a good one!
* One of my favorite lines of the night ~ David Burtenshaw sits down to visit with everyone at our table. With in 5 minutes of conversation he had already asked Tiffany when her and her date where getting married. It was priceless! (I think the next question involved something about my date but my memory seems to be foggy on those details ;)
- Easter Egg Coloring Contest! - I’m pretty much the best….and don’t let those 5 year olds tell you any different .
- All kinds of FIRSTS around here! 1 st time cooking ribs! 1st time cooking cube steak! Both were ediable! I thought it was reason to celebrate and YES, I am very sheltered. ; ) Much more complicated than hamburger and I think I’m really getting fancy.
- Hoggan Branding: Good lil’ branding with friends and family. Tried out a new Jalepeno Popper Dip recipe that was a big hit! No casulaties from the day and as always with Hoggan’s…it was an adventure.
- Quick trip to Martiny Saddle Co to visit Mom and work on a few new projects. Sugar Cookies and home cooked meals. My Mom rocks! Also, Get excited! It’s always fun when Mom and I get together. You’ll be able to see are fun creations in person at the Jordan Valley Big Loop!

Let the RODEOS BEGIN!!!
- Mud Lake High School Rodeo~ Thank You to Hoggan Rodeo for the opportunity to work at the Mud Lake High School rodeo. It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend for a rodeo. Thank You to Ma Baker, Kelly Crystal, Joe Slagowski and Dist. 1 for a great rodeo.
* So here is where I have to tell you a lil' note about the weekend. Friday afternoon Regg and I were finishing up hauling into the rodeo. He had lost his phone while we were working horses earlier that day. SO we make a plan before I head out.
PLAN: I'm taking the load of calves we just sorted to the rodeo. Load of tubs and grain. I'm also to call the pickup man and check in because Regg doesn't have his phone.
I get in thr truck and head to the rodeo grounds. I'm not even a half mile from home when I see the trailer pin swinging in the rear view mirror. OH NO! I bring her to a STOP and run back to see a EMPTY Trailer with the gate wide open. Just as I'm calling Regg's wife, my phone starts ringing......We'd forgot to LOAD the calves :) hahaha I hate it when that happens. ( I know you shouldn't share stories like that on yourself but it was too funny not to)
Moral of the Story: You've heard the saying, "Always Check Your Own Cinch" Well, now you can add.."ALWAYS Check Your Own Trailer Gate" to that list :)

* Day THREE of a THREE DAY RODEO: I'm standing behind the chutes during the saddle bronc riding.
All the sudden I look up at the bronc riders in front of me and say...."I just right now realized that their is TWO of you!" Yes, TWIN brothers in the saddle bronc riding at it took me THREE days to realize that I wasn't just talking to the same kid over and over.
