Cows

I absolutely love the cows.  It is that time of year again when the cows need to be fed and I love to go with Colton.  This year we have about thirty baby cows in the pin by the house and we have to feed and water them.  The one day Colton left me to fill the water bin by myself.  I had only watched Colton water them once so I didn't really know what to do.  He just told me to keep the cows away until it is full because they will all crowd around and drink all the water before it is full.  I was like okay that doesn't seem too hard so he left to check on something else.  I had the bin maybe a third of the way full until the cows got impatient and then they started to crowd.  Once one starts drinking then they all think they need to drink and it is impossible to get them to stop.  So, I let them drink until all the water was gone and started to fill the bin up again.  This attempt was more successful but I didn't think watering the cows would be this difficult!  I still loved it though.

I just love when they have hay on their face from feeding them!

They were just so thirsty I couldn't help but let them drink a little.

New Year

It's a New Year and I feel like we are going to have some great things happen to us this year.  Colton and I are both really excited to be applying to the Nursing program and we are very hopeful that this time we will both get in.  I am ready to start with what I will be doing everyday for the rest of my life instead of being at a standstill.  My New Year's resolution this year is to keep track of our finances!  This is a big one but I love math and being organized.  I think this will really help in the future and it is a great thing to start now!  It is amazing to me how much money it takes to survive these days.  I just want to make sure that my family and I will always be okay financially and 2013 is the perfect year to start!
