As I was putting together this blog post I was going through my pictures I noticed they all seemed to be related around the topic of family. So that's what this post will be about! My sister in law Hannah is going to have a baby in 2 months which will be the first grandbaby in my family! Woo hoo! And Jons sister is having a baby on wednesday! Our extended families are growing!
As for our immediate family, well here's some exciting news!
We had TWO more calves!
Yesterday, (sunday) Jon had to leave during 3rd hour to irrigate. I got a text from him saying Rhonda calved and Bambi would any minute! I hurried home after church and saw Rhonda's cute little baby calf. We named him Frank. Frankie for now while he's still cute and small.
( I couldn't get too close without the Rhonda looking like she was ready to plow me over with her horns.)
Bambi was having contractions which were interesting... coming from a cow. haha But anyway, we thought it would be cool to watch so we brought out some chairs and enjoyed the show.
I felt like watching a calf be born was my true initiation into becoming a farm girl. While we waited, Big delores came to visit and watch with us.
It wasn't until about 2 hours later, of her pushing, then laying down, standing back up, pushing, walking in circles, and mooing that she finally had the calf. It was so tiny! And aside from the whole process totally stressing me out thinking about how uncomfortable it is going to be to have a baby, it was a pretty cool moment! So proud of my cow! (<words I never thought I'd say)
For those of you who saw my insta video, yeah talk about precious.
So it was an eventful Sunday. Then I woke up this morning at 5:30 to some lovely baby moos.
And by lovely I mean extremely annoying, yet somehow I wasn't mad because they were so cute!
I got up and went outside to feed them.
I think Whitey is jealous of all the attention the calves are getting because she got real up close and personal this morning while I was feeding them.
(also I'm not sure if I mentioned this last time, but turns out Whitey is actually a girl... surprise!)
And last thing about our family, as you know we have a murderer on our hands, and so unfortunately Sandra is our lone survivor.
(aside from the fact that Lucy no longer has access to the pond, Sandra is the only duck out of the bunch that can fly so that probably attributes to her survival.)
She's still very friendly and comes right up to me looking for a snack every time I go to the pond.
We probably won't be getting anymore ducks anytime soon....
In other news one of my closest friends Allie, who was my roommate in college got married on Thursday!
Her bridal shower was the first time I'd seen her in months and of course the reunion was splendid!
Then for her wedding I wanted to wear one of my favorite new dresses but it's been needing a little adjustment so I whipped out my awesome Christmas present from my parents (that had yet to be opened, woops) and magnified my womanly calling of a wife and did some sewing!
Turned out pretty cute I'd say
Allie looked nice too I guess.
Kidding! she was a beautiful bride and it was a beautiful sealing and a wonderful reception! She married an awesome guy and I'm so happy for her and the family shes starting!
It was also a neat wedding because it was my first time ever being a bridesmaid for a friend! The Maid of Honor to be more exact! Or matron of honor as Allie liked to tease, since I'm married.. I still don't know if that's the correct term. Oh well it was fun!

Here's the "silly" picture. I guess I was the only one who got the memo.
All in all it was an awesome day and I'm glad I was able to spend it with my huz.
Quotes from Jon:
Me: Goodnight Jon, I love you
Jon: Night, Love you too.
silence....
Jon: I'm the queen!
Jon: That's trending.
Me: you mean trendy?
Jon: No I mean trending, like it's up and coming to be trendy. Don't you ever read the dictionary?
Jon: You're like my female twin. Minus your work ethic.
Me: There's a difference between being girly, and being emotionally unstable.
Jon: Idk sounds the same to me.
