Anniversary

Well it is hard to believe it is Loris 4 year anniversary here at the farm but it is and as you can see she has dawned her best attire for the occasion. John, all I can say to you is, we are sorry, we have only had her for 4 years, how you made it for all those years prior is nothing shy of........
No kidding asside, we are ALL proud to call her our friend and wish her all the best..........HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LORI.......:)

Oh what a.....

Baby "J" is looking rather well I think, and so does the doctor by the way, he just gave him his 6 month check up and he is doing just fine weighing in a little over 17 pounds. Lori and Eric are happy but they are keeping an eye on him cause he is moving into this crawly scootie rolly dragy flipinover kinda thing which gets him all over the place and into anything loose (and so it begins)!!!

Baby "J"

This is a neat picture and I just had to share it with ya'all. How many of you can guess what that look signifies......"do I hear the phone ringing"....NO....."is that my favorite TV show coming on that I hear"........NO........."is someone knocking on the door".......NO......"does someone need to light a candle in the diaper changing room"......OH MY.......THAT would be my guess, not that I have ever had that look.....:)

Today was just a wanna crawl up on a big pile of fodder under a overhang and go to sleep kinda day, all rainy and cool and just plain yukky, well, at least on the outside. On the inside it was another bright and smiley day for us and all the little piggies, the big ones just wanted to lay around and sleep and the mommies just wanted to lay around and have piggies, and lucky for us they didn't do that until we made room for them in the farrowing house, which is COOKIN by the way, we R "MaykinBaykin" ya, you read what I said.....(for the record I CAN spell and there IS a spell checker on this thing) so it was another good day,week,month, for us little worker bees....buzz buzz, and all the little piggies too.
I was looking forward to a nice weekend to do some outdoor stuff but I don't think that is going to happen. It would have been nice for Lori and family who is planning on visiting the zoo in Indy on Saturday. I think Lori likes Dolphins (she always seemed a little fishy to me) and there is a possible future family member (sisters boyfriend) who works at the zoo and he is going to get her and Jonathan and Eric up close and personal to the Dolphins....I sure hope she doesn't come back with one of those breathing holes in the top of her head like the Dolphins have, I think enough stuff gets out through her ears now.
With that I will shut up. All in all it was a good day despite the weather. Another day has come and gone, everyone is home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again............:)

It's Thursday...........:)

You know what he is thinking, "at least she isn't putting dresses on me", but he is Mommies little dress up doll. Does he look like a little convict caught cattle rustling to you??? You are just getting the "looks" now Mom, he will be talking soon!!!
Well it has been another exceptional week here on the farm, breeding went exceptionally well, farrowings exceptionally well and even today, THURSDAY and weaning went exceptionally well, planting is not going exceptionally well cause the rain has been coming down exceptionally well and the ground is exceptionally wet,( I think exceptionally will be my word for the day) and Randy is exceptionally nervous, except when he is asleep, but staying asleep would be unacceptable so I guess he will just have to do the exceptable thing and except the delay....
as I was saying, we weaned a lot of BIG piggies today,(Lori was tired) got the room all washed, new mommies moved in, some new alterations started in the farrowing house, feed all ground and even some washing in the finisher. The day is over and everyone is home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again......:)
