Dairy Farm

I grew up on a dairy farm. Yes, the kind that milks cows 365 days a year, rain or shine, on birthdays and holidays. My childhood was amazing. I played in mud, climbed on hay bales, swam in Red River, fed baby calves... we didn't walk out the door without our "play clothes" on!

This past week I took a day off work and went to visit my parents for the weekend taking Jordan with me. Ali couldn't go with us because it wasn't our weekend with her--she was so mad at me. I shouldn't have even mentioned that we were going down there but me and my big mouth... We kept her Wednesday night and as I was tucking her into bed she started crying. I said, "Ali what's wrong? Can I get you something?" She said, "The only thing you could do for me is to not go to Gigi's without me!" Ouch... I almost cried too. :(

Thursday after work I gathered up our things and headed to the dairy. It's almost a two hour drive but (lucky for me!) Jordan slept the whole way. Friday morning we helped my dad (the grandkids call him "Daddy Coy") with all his chores. Jordan loves the fourwheeler. "Beep beep! Beep beep!" is what he calls it. He cried every single time we got off it.

I took a ton of pictures on my camera but, of course, I can't remember how to get them off the camera. So here's a few I took with my phone:

This kid is a BED HOG. And he kicks me in the face a lot.

Gigi, Jordan, and Daddy Coy

It was an awesome weekend!! Now we'll have to write Santa Claus and ask him for a toddler four wheeler... Thanks a lot, Daddy Coy!

I know this post was weeks ago but I finally got all my pictures off my camera! Yay!!

Mmm.. bananas (Notice he's sitting on a case of chili??)

He loves being outside... We have to lock the door to keep him in.

This is the facial expression he made when he first saw the cows! HA!

Mommy and Jordan riding the four wheeler.

I can do it myself, Mom.

My favorite pic... 

I challenged the bull to a headbutt and he backed down, HA!

Big bull

I wanted to know what a honey dew melon tasted like.

It was gross. Peanut wouldn't eat it, either.

My horse (actually Ali's horse, now!): Ty Altivos Mongolio. 

If only Jordan had his eyes open!

Jordan wanted to have his blankie on him exactly like Carter. So cute. 

My name is Jordan and I do what I want cuz I'm cute.
