Happy Birthday Archives - Faulkner's Ranch

Posted on September 18, 2014

Y’all, today is your lucky day! Today you get to meet one of the most awesome behind the scenes gals here at Faulkner’s Ranch.

Meet Jennifer Flint aka JJ!

JJ has been with us for a few years so we thought it was about darn time that y’all get to know her. Plus, today is her birthday!! What a better day to celebrate JJ than today!

Anyway, we asked her some questions for the old bliggity blog.

Check out here answers right here!

1. Howdy JJ, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I have been working at the ranch for nearly 2 years now – I think I’m officially “adopted” into the Faulkner’s family?! I’m originally from Saint Louis, MO. I am married and have 4 children (future ranch hands) and we live in Lee’s Summit. I love to exercise and spend time outdoors with the family!

2. What is your job at Faulkner’s Ranch? My job at Faulkner’s is hard to define – I would say an assistant is probably best. I help support the team – that’s what I do best!

3. What is your favorite/most rewarding part of working at Faulkner’s Ranch? My favorite and most rewarding part of working at the Ranch is seeing people/customers happy to be here relaxing and having a good time with their friends and family. No matter what the event – field trips, weddings/receptions, picking out a pumpkin – everyone arrives and leaves the ranch happy – and that makes me happy!

4. You get to work with lot of awesome guests at the ranch so you must have some fun stories. What is one of your favorites? We just hosted a wedding reception recently here at the ranch and had a really special moment with the guests. Near the end of the reception, our DJ played “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” – and every guest was on their feet, holding hands, singing and dancing around the barn! They even grabbed our staff members to include in the fun! It was a really special moment to watch a family come together like that in celebration.

5. What are you looking forward to the most at Faulkner’s Ranch for the rest of 2014? For 2014, I’m most looking forward to watching the business expand. I’ve been here for two years – and known the Faulkner’s personally for years – and it’s amazing to watch their business grow and flourish. They are a wonderful, hard-working family and they love what they do. I am grateful I get to be a part of getting the word out about the Ranch!

6. Of course, we have to ask…what is your favorite country song? Ok – the hardest question of them all – but I have to go back to a great party song – “Country Girl, Shake It for Me.” It’s hard to pick just one – but that always gets the boots on the dance floor!

We are so lucky to have JJ as a part of our Faulkner family! Happy Birthday, JJ! You’re the best!

Have a great day, y’all!

In case you didn’t know, today is a very special day!

It’s Michael Michael Motorcycle’s birthday!

For those of you who don’t have the privilege of knowing our cousin Mike, let us tell you a little bit about why he is so awesome.

1. He is one fun guy!

2. Did we mention how much fun he is?

He always brings some pep in his step and a good sense of humor wherever he goes!

Here he is goofin’ around at his Dad’s surprise 75th birthday party at the Benjamin Ranch.

3. He’s a heck of a hard worker, but he still knows how to have a good time on the job!

4. Seriously though, you can count on him through thick and thin.

Whether it’s 110 degrees outside or a blizzard, he’ll be there to pave the way!

5. He is an all-around nice guy!
It’s true – Mike is one of the friendliest, most compassionate, caring fellas you will ever meet.

…well, except for when he was Chainsaw Chuck! ;o)

So, join us as we say a big ole HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our cuz!

We love ya, Mike!

Have a good one!

Today is a very special day!

Not only did we survive the end of the world

(that was a close one yesterday, right?)

but it is also the birthday of a very, very, VERY special cowgirl here at the ranch…

CHRISTINE LONEMAN!!!

Most of you probably know Miss Christy Rose. After all she is one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet! Plus, she is also the creative genius behind everything here at the ranch. But for those of you that don’t know her, maybe the following will give you a better picture of this fantastic gal.

One of the first things that most people notice about her is her contagious smile!

When you are around her you can’t help but have fun!
