cow day..everyday

Another day at the dairy brings pure happiness to our almost 3 year old, Nathan. this boy loves every moment watching the tractors, cows and being with his daddy. i just love watching them together!!

i asked Nathan to add his commentary about these photos. so everything in blue is what he had to say about this day!! 

This is what life on the farm is all about.  Work and Family can overlap to provide a real valuable life experience.  For me, spending time with Little Nate on the Farm is such a joy.  Look at his face, he loves to come to the dairy.

Same picture, but I just love it so much, I loaded it twice.

love these boys!!

Nathan and Nathan Jr. about to unload some "Springer's" off of a truck.

cow palace..i am sure it is not the kinda "palace" i am thinking of!

We're ready to unload these Springer's.

Good Looking Bunch

Ready to move these "Black and White, Holsteins"

Got my Favorite Shirt on Today

he insists on wearing this shirt almost everyday. 

Little Nate is inspecting the condition of the newly purchased Heifers.  "Pretty good group here"

the best moment of this unloading experience was hearing lil nathan yell at the cow's just like daddy. he would say "c'mone cow, get off" !! he is a pretty quite boy most of the time so to hear him yell at the cows was cracking me up!

These girls meet with the owner's approval.

my husband looks good in blue

walking the ladies down the alley 

I'm ready for the next load.

Another of Nathan's favorite things around the Dairy are the Texas Sunrises he gets to see every day.

Pretty cool picture

SunrisE

early yesterday morning when i am in a deep slumber of sleep, my other half was capturing the sunrise out on the dairy farm. just the fact that he grabbed my camera (i mean OUR camera..since it was his idea to splurge on it) makes me smile!! so when i arrived later in the morning he showed me and told me he has been wanting to take a few shots of his morning view. no editing was necessary, the pictures speak for themselves and say a lot about the man behind the camera. even though the days are long, the work is tough, the wicked wind makes the days seem even longer and the work even tougher, he can take a moment to behold the beauty in the sun coming over the horizon to greet him.

 the picture above is my favorite. i find the silhouettes of the shades simple but dramatic.

i tell you what i have seen more sunrises as a mom of 2 kids than i ever did in college that is for sure...but that is besides the point right now. just enjoy the pictures and don't think about getting out of bed early at this moment. my problem is i go to bed only a few hours before it is back up again...besides the point again.

i don't know why but this poem came to mind...
thank you for sharing husband of mine!!


Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you:
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
