While we were up on the mountain these two were on the prairie moving a grouchy bull. The horses apparently weren’t too thrilled to be put to work after so much time off, but they got it all handled in the end.

Cowboy C wanted to try Nordic Skiing so I took him up to the mountain to try it out. We used backcountry skis from @gearupandgetout where you can adjust them to any size foot and then simply use your regular snow/hiking boots. It’s perfect for our lifestyle because any of the Cowkids or my friends can use them to see if they enjoy the sport. He agreed it was fun, but more work than he thought, and a bit of a maze to follow the trails! 😂

Went for a nice long walk and then hit the movie theater to watch “Housemaid” 👏 I read the book a few years ago, but couldn’t remember any of it so I was absolutely absorbed as we watched it. 10/10 recommend this movie and YES the guys will enjoy it too!

It’s amazing what 6 months of growth can do to a calf! This boy may be mean mugging the camera, but The Cowboy assures me he’s a gentle giant 😅

Ending 2025 with some Nordic Skiing with my girl @lifeissweetwy 🥰 the first tome is always rough and the trail was bumpy but despite falling a few times we had a blast soaking the views and sun!

Staying warm thanks to @gearupandgetout

Over the last two years, and more significantly in 2025, my trust in both people and the systems around us has been utterly shattered.

As I sat and had yet another tearful conversation with The Cowboy a few months ago, I said, “I am tired of being sad and angry all the time.” He looked at me with pain and compassion in his eyes and pulled me in for a hug as he whispered into the top of my head, “I know, babe, it really doesn’t suit you.”

While there have been glimmers of joy and hope, 2025 has been brutal for me.

My daughter’s stalking began in 2023, but it wasn’t until the fall of 2024 that we learned who was behind it: Marcie Smith, a 41-year-old woman who lived in our community. And yet, even with answers, the weight of it all didn’t fully settle in. It wasn’t until March of this year, when we were finally able to speak publicly about our case, that we began to understand the true impact of what had been done to our family.

Even in the Fall of 2024, when whisperings began about the protection order we had filed, we had to stay silent while our character continued to be slandered by Marcie and her supporters.

Over and over, I watched as people I would have once called friends walked past me without saying hello. I heard all the lies and rumours being spread, and my heart broke as people I had trusted and cared for believed them and left my family and me out of multiple events and occasions.

In 2024, I stopped regularly posting on my personal page because I had no idea who the “anonymous texter” was, and I didn’t want to give them any more information to use against us than they already had. I didn’t trust people to keep private the things that I told them, and I feared they may unknowingly give information to the stalker, who would then use it against us.

So, I stopped sharing important details about my life with many of my friends…
