Today Ron and I celebrate 16 years of marriage. Well I guess celebrate after work and taking care of the calves, we wanted to celebrate with the kids so it will be a crableg feast in my kitchen tonight.
I'm so grateful for my relationship with Ron he's my best friend and such a great Dad. He's always trying to make my life easier which can be difficult at times with four beautiful children, jobs and starting this calf business(which is going so well). Our lifes have been so busy but we do remember that we love each other and appreciate one another. It's a great thing. Its been 16 years and I truly feel life is great right now.
Other news congratulations to Tony and Bobbi,its a boy. He's due in April how exciting for them.
Lauren got up with me this morning to help feed, Ron worked till 12am so I figured I would let him sleep in a little while longer, well anyways Lauren made us her German Pancakes
(she learned in Family and Consumer Science)(FACS) they're so good
almost tastes like funnel cake. So we ate some and Ron was off to work so I need to do the same.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Weekend fun
So we got my lawn ready on Saturday to be seeded today.Can't wait to see the rye come up. Thanks Ron and Ronnie. Ron and Travis trenched yesterday so we have water to the shop so handy. Still building pens for the growing calf business that is going so well. I went to Hailie's birthday party Sat. night I can't believe she's 8 already.
Ron stayed home to finish trenching and feed the animals so that was a nice break so I let him sleep in this morning(but it is much easier to feed 14 calves with 2 people).
Dad came up and that was a nice visit. It was nice to visit with my sisters and plan my Halloween party. That will be so fun I love Halloween its my favorite holiday. Maybe because I'll be married 16 years the day before Halloween. Wow! Who would have thunk it!
Thank you Kathie for sending over a roast and everything to go with it I love that on Sunday afternoon I'll put it in the crock pot this morning. P.S. I hope you feel better.
Well back to work I feel guilty when I don't keep up with my blog like Bobbi, and Nicole you're doing so good. Dotti you're another case I know there's lots going on with you, still waiting. Everybody have a great Sunday.

Got Animals
Oh my gosh were up to 28 animals. Sandy our Beagle had 8 puppies last night. That makes 11 dogs,2 donkeys,3 horses, and yes 12 calves. Its so much fun around this place. Some might think so, some not so much.
What a weekend we had Moo Moo Palooza Friday and Saturday we answered a lot of questions about calves the kids visiting had a wonderful time feeding and petting the animals. Lauren did a amazing job working both days. Ronnie had been helping prepare for the event and helped clean up after it he was also amazing. Oh QcHs Jv team won again they played against Coronado the score I believe was 52 to 24.I didn't make it to the game its horrible I know but his Dad was there to support him but I'll make the last 2.
Ron and I volunteered Friday night at the varsity football game concession stand Ron cooked burgers and hotdogs. The varsity team lost. What a weekend I have to go grocery shopping there is no food here. My kids hate me. LOL

Go Bulldogs
We won 50 to 8. Ronnie played a lot he's getting so much better. He was insecure at first but his confidence is building. Football has been so good for him the responsibility to make it to practices,especially when his parents work and he rides his bike I believe 5 to 6 miles, the discipline, having to work as a team. I'm so proud of him. He's such a great kid.
So R&K Cattle Company is up to 7 calf's. Shirley from Mombe Dairy gave me calf pens they just needed some welding so that's what we do on the weekends and after work. Ron has been so helpful he's out in the morning help feed before he leaves for work,drives to get calf's at the dairy and just makes my life as easy as he possible can right now.
It was kinda stressful in the beginning but were getting into a routine. Everybody helps in the afternoon so it goes quickly to feed. My house was a disaster for over a week I was trying to figure out time management but then I remembered I have children. They have all stepped up and I appreciate everyone in my family.
Another dairy man is interested in selling all his bulls to me but we just don't think were ready for that they milk 3000 so that could be around 1500 bulls a year. What a opportunity but maybe down the road.I'm starting with these bulls from a different dairy just to get back into it slowly but I get all their bulls and that could lead into raising all their heifers. Thats my goal for now. I really think we have a great opportunity to get this business off the ground. Were trenching water to the shop this weekend so the whole calf thing is out of my house. LOL So if anybodys ever bored at 5 am come on over. I feel like Dad now the animals go nuts when the flood lights go on and they see me.
We got the horse shade done last weekend. Seriously so much work but were having the time of our life's. I know that sounds weird but most people know what I'm talking about.
Happy Birthday to Ron's brother Brandon he turned 32 on Oct 1. He has been so helpful with so many projects around here we appreciate him so much. He's such a all around great guy.
Halloween party is on but I need to look at the calendar to set date.
