Kelsay's 1st Birthday

 We had so much fun celebrating Kelsay's #1! We were going to have her birthday party on the 7th, but with Gram's funeral, we had to move it back to Valentine's day. The Halls, Tammy, and Rachel joined us for the party.

We had hot dogs, chips and fruit for lunch. We had regular toppings, toppings for chili cheese dogs and toppings for NY dogs which include sauerkraut, sautéed onions and spicy mustard. wasn'tAfter lunch we played outside for a bit and then went in for cake and ice cream. I made the cake from an organic European bakery cake mix from sprouts. Highly recommend. Everyone thought it was extra good. Tam graciously decorated the cake.Kelsay  sure what to think about the cake or the candle with the flame on top, but Maddy was more than happy to blow it out for her. I think Kelsay liked the cake but she,was so tired at that point it was hard to tell. We had to let her have a nap break before opening presents. She got a baby doll and stroller, a baby photo album which I still have to put pictures in, an Elsa dress from Maddy and a book from Rachel.


This is a picture of her in her birthday girl outfit.
She had a great first birthday. There's something about those early birthday years that is so special.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...
