Day 627- He thinks my Tractor's Sexy!

I just couldn't resist the title :) 
Gotta love Kenny Chesney!
Anyway.... Kyle has been working on a cattle ranch for the past 6 months. 
Lets just say it has been very educational for both of us...
He has some pretty crazy cow stories.
Last year we had afternoon church so he never had to go feed on sunday 
(Who knew cows ate on Sunday? I sure didn't...Weird right??)
So now that we have early church Kyle has been in the rotation for Sunday feedings, I was a nice wife the first Sunday and went with him.
I was very hesitate to go at first but after i got up there and in the HUGE (and heated) tractor it was actually quite fun!
The Cows were very entertaining...they are such odd animals. They heard the tractor coming and they all ran toward us...and right in front of us...crazy cows. and the calves were soo cute!

I even got to drive the tractor (not my choice, the pilot just bailed ship so the good co pilot that i am i quickly took over) He didn't really bail, Since the field is so big and there are so many cows the feeding trailer needs to be reloaded with hay so Kyle went to cut the strings off the new hay that the other  guy put on with his tractor.
And the tractor might of only been going 2 mph...




 <see all the cows behind me eating?










After we got done feeding the cows i thought to myself....This was fun, i wouldn't mind having a cattle ranch. Then we found that the cows had broken into the hay stacks (buffet anyone?) so we had to fix the fence....that is when i changed my mind about having a cattle ranch. :) 










Day 623- Twenty thirteen

Twenty Thirteen? 
I still remember staying up all night to see the year 2000 roll in and standing on our porch at midnight banging pots and pans with my cousins and yelling "Happy New Year!"
Crazy to think that was 13 years ago....


I have never been one to make new year resolutions...
BUT
This year i decided to make a few goals...(not resolutions)
1- Keep my house cleaner
meaning do the dishes before the sink is full...
doing pretty good so far!
and
2 - Finish more projects
I am really really really good at starting new projects and i am only good at finishing some.
So the goal is to finish the old and the new ones :)

As for my first OLD project I finished...it was my first quilt!
I started it the summer after high school. Yes, It took me almost 5 years to finish a quilt
I got the whole top and back done in about 2 weeks....then it sat for 2 years...then my awesome aunt quilted it for me...then i sewed on the binding... then last May i started hand stitching the binding and a few weeks ago I FINISHED HAND STITCHING THE BINDING!!
I was so excited! Yay for finishing projects!
 
Lets hope I can keep the kite flying... :)
