How to make the perfect hard boiled egg!!

Some would say it is simple. How hard could it be? Well I am Here to tell you you have probably been doing it all wrong. Don't you hate the smell of freshly peeled hard boiled egg? or the grey around the out side of the yolk when you are making deviled eggs. Well her is my secret to the perfect hard boiled egg. Ok step 1 put just enough water in a pot to barely cover your desired amount of eggs. Step to bring to a full rolling boil. Step 3 after full boil turn off the stove cover with a tight lid for 5 min. You can even remove from heat source all together and you will get the same results. I am just lazy and turn off the heat. Step 4 rinse in cold water and peel. vuala no grey, no smell perfect center. TIP the longer you let them sit after removing from heat the harder the center. I find they peel better too. This works great for duck eggs too. Let me know what you think.

The Rodeo





We took the kids to the rodeo and Troy and Justin got to participate in the calf scramble. The way it works is there is 10 calves 6 with pink ribbons on their tails. There is about 200 kids. The 6 kids that get the 6 pink ribbons off the calves tails win a prize. Troy was one of the 6 winners. He just out ran and out dove the others, I dont have pics but I have a couple pics of the longhorns. There is a pic of a truck that was being raffled off up on a crane. The third to last is a pic of the winners of the calf scramble but you cant see anyone really. We got free tickets and they were in the nosebleed section.

My baby birds



This is the baby birds by my bedroom window.

The puppy is 7 days old





Here is an update on the puppy. Because there was only 1 puppy and all that milk moma dog got mastitis. This is when there is too much milk and it goes bad before it is consumed and causes an infection in the teets. Thus the milk becomes poisonous. So...puppy is on the bottle now....but she has started gaining weight. Due to the mastitis she wasnt eating and what she was eating was making her sick. She was loosing weght. I tell the boys to look in on their little sister. lol I find the boys asleep with her all the time. They will tell me that their little sister was lonely so they took her in the bed to sleep. Here are pics of her new bed in the basket. It is a stuffed lion. soo cute.
