stopping until I'm done

Hello my friends. I'm back! I have lots of stories for you all and I hope that you will follow along, as it will take a couple of posts to get you all updated. I'm going to start with May (with the exception of a few late nights with my dad back in February) and move on through the months up until now.

So, get comfortable, because here I go.

February- My dad works at Ray Ranch. They have cattle and do a lot of haying. During the late winter month's it is "calving season" this is when all the pregnant mommy cows/heifers start to have their babies. I've always enjoyed farm/ranch life and told my dad when he took on the 12:00am and 2:00am shifts that I would like to go help him. Well, off we went in the dead-set of winter to check on these beasts. It was a few late nights (or maybe early mornings, depending on how you look at it) but totally worth it! I had such a good time. Here are some pictures.

This little booger it 702, he is the only one that I really got to help with. It was our 2:00a.m. check and Dad and I were making our last round before heading home, and I said, "DAD! WE'VE GOT A BABY!" Dad went to the calving barn got the wheel barrow and we loaded him up and took him to the nice warm and cozy shed where he patiently awaited the arrival of his mommy. She, got lost in the hustle and bustle of dad and I trying to get her and baby to the shed, so, we had to go back out into the 138 head of other mommas and find her! That was a task, in the dead of night with a spot-light and 2 acres of ground to search...it took some time. But we finally found her and after some rounding up, some Ya-Ya, and some smooth talking we got the mommy in with her new-born. And, life was good!

Below, are the thre of us (Bayli-the ever so ready dog, Me-don't laugh, I had just crawled out of bed, and Dad-he had just crawled out of bed too)

After calving season, usually by the first week of May or so, is "Branding", that's when ranchers put their brand on all the new little ones and weigh,vaccinate, de-worm, etc all the moms. (I don't have pictures.) I got to help with that also and boy oh boy was that fun. Hard work, long day, good company, and the best part, the "Branding Meal!"

Well, sorry folks, but this is all I have time for today. Sorry!

More updates soon!

sign of me II

Okay, so I lied. I said I wouldn't be back on until after my classes were over. But, as Kels knows, I'm a nighorningner, yes, I just coined a new word.

Nighorningner
Main Entry: nigh-orn-ing-ner
Pronunciation: \ˈnī\ ȯr-niŋ\ -nər\
Function: noun
Date: 21st century
1: a person who stays up late into the night and well into the next days morning.

Anyways, this post is mostly for Kels...
1. I added a song playlist to our page. (Call me and I will give you the information so you can log on and add songs.) For all you other bloggers out there, check out http://www.playlist.com/ where you can create your very own.
2. I added a countdown for your 21st Birthday!!! (Later we will add another countdown titled...Kayt and Kels re-unite!) For all you other bloggers out there, check the gadget tool on your http://www.blogspot.com/ layout page. There are lots of neat things.
3. I have been looking at bumper stickers on http://www.facebook.com/ lately and have come to the terribly sad conclusion that sending you one has no meaning anymore. We don't hang out to have that odd understanding of why the sticker was sent in the first place...This realization made me very sad :( for I have not sent or been sent a bumpersticker from Facebook in a very long time.
SIDE NOTE:However, I did send Allie, http://lifeinasnapshot.blogspot.com/, a bumper sticker not too long ago, but it was perfect. Let me explain. When we became roommates in August of 2008, I found out a fact. The fact that Allie loves Jon and Kate Plus 8. On Facebook the other day, I found a bumpersticker that I just had to send to Allie. The bumpersticker was a family portrait of the Gosselin Family and underneath in big bold letters was the word "FAIL". HAHAHA!!! As you could imagine, Allie didn't find it quite as humorous as I, but that is okay. I have not ever been a big fan of the show. Sure, I'll watch it, but only because it is on when someone else is watching it. Main reason I don't watch it-I am a Kate. No, no, no, yes my name is Kayt, similar, but...If I were to ever become a mom I would be a Kate Gosselin. And that, my folks, scares me! Our personalities are very similar (like our names). I understand she is the way she is because she has to raise 8 kids, but I act like her when I have only P and Kartoon to take care of. Could you imagine how I would act with 3 or more!? So, people I ask you, do you really think I want to see what I would act like in 10 years if I had kids? The answer is NO! Let life be a surprise, and pray to God that by the time I get to the "having kids" stage of life I will be more mellow.
4. Working today, the special was a Runza wrap...it was hamburger, cabbage, etc...The smell reminded me of eggrolls, then I became hungry for eggrolls and Chinese food. Specifically eggrolls and Chinese food from that chinese restaurant on 32nd in G.F. where you Alex and I would go. Then this made me miss you and Alex. (and you too Allie, we made a few trips there together too.)
5.That is all.


Miss you lots!

Oh, Allie:
I miss you TTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why hello there, geez it has been a while!

I do believe that the only two people in the cyber world who know I am alive is Kels and my sister, Lex. That is only because I talk to them both on the phone every once in a while.

I just wanted you all to know that I have been very busy these past summer days. I am taking 2 online courses and they take up most of my time. Well, that and working at Burgie's. I get done with my summer semester in a little over 2 weeks! WooHoo! (Well, maybe WooHoo!) After they get over, I'll be back at Burgie's full time. (hmm, another round of summer courses?) NO, No, no, I do believe I will be okay. Anyways, I just wanted to get on "There will be no..." and let you all know to be expecting the longest post (with pictures included) written by none other, than the "silent partner" (as Kels likes to call me)! It will update you all with the things that have been keeping me busy lately. Okay, well I got to jet, I have chitlets to watch. (my nephew (P) and my niece (Kar-toon))

Until July 13th

...good excuse for the lack of blogs...

Sorry about the absence lately. I have been busy working three jobs and Kayt has been working a lot too. And nothing too exciting has been happening. As I understand, her Vegas trip was successful but I'll let her tell you about that.

Don't have any thing to blog about but I promise I'll be putting up a really good story and some posts later this week.

Sorry for wasting your two minutes but check back later - I'll update again SOON! Scout's honor.

xoxo- Kels

...college for a while.

About three months actually! I had my last final yesterday morning and am now officially halfway through my undergraduate career. I have quite a drive to get home, about 6 hours (especially with the road construction) so I typically have lots of time to think, talk on the phone (Don't worry, I usually use my blue tooth), and jam out. And boy, do I jam out! But yesterday my ghost of a blogging partner called me to keep me entertained for a while. We ended up playing some interesting games of "Kill, shag, marry". For those of you not familiar with the game, you name three people that everyone in the game knows, and the other people have to pick one to marry, one to shag, and one to kill. Some are easier than others. Some games you don't want to kill anyone, but the best ones are the ones where you want to kill everyone. Here are some that Kayt and I did yesterday:
-Brody Jenner, Franky Delgado, and Justin Bobby (all from The Hills)
-Tim Gunn (Project Runway), Spencer Pratt (The Hills), and Kanye West
-David Hasslehoff, Hulk Hogan, and Sylvester Stallone
-Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Tony Parker
-Tom Brady, David Beckham, Joe Mauer (I don't think its hard to figure out which one I would choose to marry!)

We are always open to hearing more combinations! And we are interested in what you guys would choose, so let us know in the comments! P.S. You don't need a blogging account to leave a comment!

dorms soon!

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

I started cleaning and packing my room yesterday and cannot wait to finally move out of the dorms for good! My suitemate helped me take my loft down (thanks girl!) and I now have an amazing extra-long king sized bed. I don't know what to do with all the extra bed space! Anyway I realized I have a lot of crap in my room! And its not as fun to clean it out when you don't have one of you best friends helping you and bringing up stories about the things you find stashed away.

If you didn't know - Oprah is giving away a free KFC meal. If you want you can print off the coupon at www.oprah.com/kfc but you have to print it off by tomorrow (5/6/09).

I don't know what else to blog about but I'm trying my darndest to keep it updated. Comments give motivation ;)

I'll leave you with this: Be kind to everyone you meet, you never know what kind of battle they are fighting.

Swine Flu!

Sorry about the long delay between posts. I've been super busy lately. Here's whats been going down lately...
-Swine flu. Please don't get it, and if you do, don't give it to me, I have a compromised immune system.
-JOE MAUER IS BACK TONIGHT! YAY! So I'm being awesome and watching baseball on a Friday night. I don't even care. I LOVE JOE! And Kevin Slowey is pitching tonight so all the much better!
- Tomorrow is the Big Event. For those of you who don't know, the Big Event is our university's way of giving back to the community. You sign up in groups and each group gets assigned tasks like cleaning churches, parks, people's homes, etc, etc. I am in an athletic training group - which has been put at the same sight as two other athletic teams (football and baseball) because they thought we would know them and have more fun this way. Yeah, it will be fun, especially since I'm with the football team right now BUT, I see these guys everyday already. Oh well, it should be interesting!
-Thursday is PARTY BUS! This year's theme is Disney characters. I will be Mrs. Incredible.
-Only four days of classes, and then finals! This year has gone so fast! I'm halfway through with my undergraduate already.
-Alex and I are looking for apartments (we are willing to take donations...)
-I have a few summer jobs. Growing up sucks, I don't want to pay for rent!
-Downy Winkle Releaser is the BEST THING EVER! I use it every day
-I bought grape Kool-Aid packets. Not as great as I remembered as a child.
-I have played more "name game", "alphabet game", "I spy", "Shag, kill, marry", and "initial game" in the past few days in the training room then I care to remember. You know its a problem when the athletes can walk in and immediately know what you are playing and join in.

Thats all for now. Time for TWINS BASEBALL! GO JOE and KEVIN!
