About The Thompson Family

           Ok I'll give you a little info about my family.  Carl is my husband  he is from Nye Montana and I am from Broadus Montana.   We met at the Miles City Bucking Horse Sale (If you ever get a chance to go it's about as much fun as you can have in one spot.)  We was married 6 months later then two years later we had a little boy.  His name is Lane Robert, he is 4 now.  He has a sister her name is Helen Nicole and she is 18 (almost 19 ) months old. 


             Now that you have met my family I'll tell a little about where we live and what we do.  We Live in Columbus Montana right on the Yellowstone.  I can literally throw a rock from my house to the river. My mother and father in law live a quarter of mile away from us. (It's like we got our very own babysitter right next store!!!) We ranch we lease several small places between here and Red Lodge. We run about 300 head of cattle, 6 sheep, 10 ducks, 1 chicken who is currently raising 10 turkeys (I'll tell you that story later) 1 dog, Suri, and several cats. So our summer months are spent in the hay field, we spend a good share of the fall trying to get the hay up before the snow flys. The winter months are spent feeding the cows. Then spring comes and we are calving and trying to get fences fixed and stuff that got put off "until we had time" to do them.   I guess that pretty much raps it up.  

We had so much rain this spring, the Yellowstone went out of its banks and was flooding my drive way!!!
