Exciting weekend....

Many exciting things happened over the weekend,

I got to hold my newest baby girl cousin, (which doesn't help my fever) and her mother is looking fabulous!

We had our first official ER visit as a married couple. One of the first lessons Farmer taught me was always cut away from yourself, 10 stitches on his leg later, you would think he would have followed his own advice.

A dear friend got hitched, she was beautiful, and her husband flipped her on their first dance. I was so impressed Farmer and I are going to start practicing, (he is not aware of this yet, I am sure it will go over great!)

She was lovely. :)

There must me something in the water because my other dear dear friend Phyllis got engaged the very next morning and I am soooo very happy for her. She is so deserving of this and it's been a long time coming! I can't wait to dance and get silly at yet another wedding :)

Won't they make beautiful babies? :)

Also my poor little hometown was hit by a small tornado this week. Thankfully no one was hurt and only a few buildings were damaged. Many trees were down and some power was out do to limbs on lines and leaning power lines. From what I had heard the town, (as always), pulled together and had alot of it cleaned up by the afternoon! Ya for small town love! <3

Like My Mother Does, I Love You This Big!

I am completely addicted to listen to the American Idol winner and runner-ups new singles!

1. They are both country singin' people! ya!
2. Lauren and Scotty are adorable! I love them!!
3. Their songs have amazing meaning behind them and in my life, the words are exactly true!

" I Love You This Big" by Scotty is amazing, I think of my husband, I think of future children, I think of my mom.

When I was young that was "our thing" I love you this big, (then I would stretch my arms out as far as I could) then she would say, I love you thiiiisss big, (then she would do the same with her arms) then I would say, I love you (insert cute toddler voice and slurs) alllll the wayyyy arrrrounnnnddd the world a millllon timmmesss!!!! Ending with a huge hug! :D Which leads me to want to listen to Lauren's song, "Like My Mother Does" which of course reminds me of my mom, but also makes me think of my future children (God Willing) with all the hopes that they will always look to me as an example in their little lives, and will always be ok in following my footsteps of life! :) ENJOY!

I promise I will try to find better pictures of her pretty cute little self!

I love you mom :)

Back and Fourth

So if you are newly married, you may have heard the following question, 9685470156301189 times,

"SOOO When are you gonna have babies!?!?!"

 annoying right? HA! Well yes, technically I do think about babies alot, only because everyone and their dog is pregnant! I swear everywhere we go I see at least 10000000 people who are pregnant or have a kid with them. I know what you're thinking, "well duh, that's what people do, we reproduce." well is it so bad that maybe I want a baby, someday, but maybe I like waiting, and don't want one right now? Don't get me wrong, things welll happen, and if it happened we would obviously be ok and ready for one, but for right now my mind kinda goes like this.......

Aww, ya that looks fun!



o ya, nope, I'm out.

now that is what I want

o right, they cry, never mind.

Isn't that a beautiful thing?

then they do this,

and this

and this, in the middle of Wal-mart, ya, I don't think so

Ok so those may be extreme mind sets but I can't help it, I know some of you may be thinking well it's a wonderful thing, and I know it is and I really can't wait but for now I go back and fourth every other day and the little things change my mind, yes in the end I will want a kid, just not now,

until tomorrow,

then I will want one again, until I see one crying or a tired parent,

 I like sleep

 and sleeping babies

and clean hands, and things that can go to the bathroom by themselves and don't need changed,

but diapers are cute on their little bottoms,

they can't walk,

but when they do it's so cute,

but they smell,

sooo good :)

and they cry

but their pouty face is so cute,

and they cuddle,

when they're sick and then I get sick,

but then they want their mommy,

and I will want mine,

then Farmer will come home,

and they will jump in his arms,

and yell "daddy's home!"

ok so my heart just melted.... a little..

Future life? Ok. I am ok with moments like these

(now your heart melted)

My main man?

Well since the weather has been beautiful I have been more active outside:
 jog down our dirt road
ride the fourwheeler to the hog building to the burn pile with trash
bike ride
pick up sticks
walk the calves (more like calf Huston is the only one that will cooperate for me to put the halter on)
mow the lawn
relax in our hammock
and many more random outdoor activities

while I do all of these I can always rely on my main "man" to be right there by my side. Nope it's not farmer, it is our beloved Golden Retriever Cash. He is loyal by my side through thick and thin,
He loves to jog with me, he loves the calves, he like to race on the fourwheeler, and is always cautious when I mow the lawn (if I stop for even one min he is right there making sure things are ok!)
I never have to use a leash and he listens pretty well once he is calmed down from the excitement of being let out to run!

Cash was my first valentines gift from Farmer! I immediately fell in love with his Big Brown Eyes, and we have been besties every since! I think I would be lost without him always on my heels!

I <3 those brown eyes

pshhh and Farmer tries to "pretend" he doesn't like him! HA!

My baby now :)

Cash always seems to knows what I need, He knows when I need a friend, someone to vent to, or just someone to keep me company on a breezy day. He is the best listener and never tells any secrets! I would truly be lost without him.

O where o where could that little cord be??

So I have to admit my problem, I honestly would blog more if I could find that little cord that goes to my camera to the computer, but instead I have to try to remember, when I am grocery shopping, to bring my disk from my camera and make a cd and then upload pictures! I promise though I do take pictures with full intentions of blogging :)

My life in the past week(ish) (ok maybe like 3weeks but whateves) with hopeful blogs to come:

(re)Painted dining room
Bottle calf count: 4 (thats 12 bottles a day if you're counting)
Girls night: 1
 Prom--hair-- days (counting this Saturday) 2 1/2!
Shopping trips: 1 1/2 (online is the half)
nights of loneliness: about 3 ish (the joys of spring)
days of house cleaning and uber boring-ness: at least 15! it's never ending sometimes
Days of Pedicures and long chats with my wonderful cousin: 1 which means I gotta log off and head to spoil my toes! :)

I will blog again soon! promise!

Huston, Has a problem!

Well Huston has a problem, it is the big green monster of JEALOUSY!! Just yesterday Farmer brought a new adorable tiny calf over who was a twin and having some problems in her back legs. ( I believe her muscle mass and bones of her back half are slightly underdeveloped and because she is a twin the other calf probably took up most the room in the womb so she couldn't grow properly) She is adorable and I have named her Fern. ( originating from Fawn because she reminds me of a baby deer trying to walk, and Where the Red Fern Grows because she is red.) Well Huston is very jealous of her, when we try to feed her he bucks and rams her down. She also needs help standing up and he has no problem greeting us at the gate and just romping all over her! :( poor girl! Besides her legs I believe she is healthy and wants to suck just fine. So with some therapy and a mother's touch I am sure she will be great! I will try to post some pictures soon!! :)
 Keep on Farmin'!

Huston.... We have a problem

A few weeks back Farmer came to me and asked me if I wanted, yet another, "project". Now when Farmer says "project" I usually start to sweat slightly. This project got in my the heart and I was hooked, so my new "project" is Huston. No, not a vacaction, a calf. Huston's mommy passed in labor, basically she didn't know when to stop pushing and killed herself. Farmer found baby Huston on the ground on a cold afternoon still wet and not even cleaned off yet. Huston was a big baby which could have been a helping factor in the hard labor. Farmer then loaded Huston up and brought him to the barn across from our house, where I, his momma now, take care of him. Huston gets a total of 3 bottles a day, 1 1/2 at a time morning and night.

When we first brought Huston to our barn, we didn't think he would make it. He was feverish, and shakey. We believed he lacked Oxygen somewhere during the birthing process, because it took him forever to figure out the idea of sucking, ( and he still is a little off sometimes, he may be a little special :) ) He also had a swollen knee, assuming he had a hard fall from momma. After some medicine and, what I believe, was a "mother's touch, (The 2nd or 3rd day that he was in my care he was very ill looking, thin, shaky, feverish, and just not very lively so I sat in the barn with him between legs and try to give him that feel, that regular baby calves get when they lay against their mommas)  must  have worked because, he is doing much better now and is up and kicking and bucking like the normal calves. I no longer have to strattle him , hold is head and force him to suck or tube him to make sure he has some food in his tummy. I simply hold the bottle on the edge of the fence and he comes right up and chugs it down! I couldn't be prouder! Like any mother I have to brag with some pictures!! Enjoy!

how could you not love that face!!

<3

Trying to warm him up

On his first walk

Let me tell ya , I have HUGE plans for Huston. I want him to be so kind and nice to me so when he is out in the feild this summer he will always come up to me and let me pet him, but then he will be mean to everyone else and pursue a long career in the Rodeo as one of the toughest bulls out there that no one is able to ride,  and has a sweet Rodeo name like "Huston... We have a problem" ,then I plane to retire him and fatten him up to be the biggest bull at the ISF, where then I will either sell him per pound or just keep him as a pet in our backyard!  Realistic right?? ;)
Untill next time, Keep on farmin!!
