Hungry calves - feeding time

Best Cousins - Allison & Zach

This past month we have had some fun times visiting Gramma B. and her barn animals. Zach is starting to help feed calves and plays with the new kittens. Ginger the dog is also a big hit!

Trip to Grammy's

5/22/11 Trip to Grammy & Gramps' place. Play ball with Tee Ross got for Z. Checked out Grammy's Flowers, Grampa's Cows and the water near Harlow on the way home.

Play Ball!

Smell the Flowers!

Feed the Cows!

Flooded Hwy by Harlow.

Z's stay at the Grins.

Oh boy Zach gets to stay over at the Grin farm again. For 2 whole nights!

Truthfully, I am so thankful for family to be able to take care of Zach, as I have been having more troubles with the miscarriage issue and ended up in surgery and hospital last night. Now am home and trying to rest and recover. I am OK and hoping this is the last big saga on my road to recovery.

Grammy just sent me pics of what they have been up to, so I am getting a little "Zach picture fun" therapy in.
It looks like they are putting him to WORK!


CLEANING HOUSE for GRAMMY



FEEDING THE COWS for PAPA

DRIVING the TRACTOR for ROSS

I see they know how to share the work load around there. :) All jokes aside, I am pretty certain they are taking some time out to PLAY!

Thanks to all 3 of you for taking care of our little or maybe not so little boy!

Flying Cows

This is what I will be helping with for work in the coming months - years. Will be identifying cows before they are loaded into the plane.

Princess Parlor

We went out to the Ski farm on Saturday night, and had a little fun with the calves. We call them "princesses".

Dean and I bottle fed the new ones and after they get older they drink from the pail. They sure are fun. If you don't have food at hand, they will gladly try to eat at your fingers, pants or anything they can get ahold of. Even another calf's ear.
I really thought this little brown princess was cute. So small and delicate compared to the others.


Note: I've found one fun thing about dairy cattle - there are always cute little baby calves around!
