Here's how my weekend went:
deep lunges with a giant syringe gun
I helped my brother doctor and brand some cows. Guess what? It was equal parts fun and depressing. Poor baby calves and their charred skin! Poor me who had to inject them with vaccines! Poor mamas who had to be separated from their babies for hours on end! OH MY BLEEDING HEART! The farm girl in me has, in some senses, been almost completely eradicated. There are some who would rejoice in this fact, and others who would weep, or at least call me a giant wuss. Brothers to be specific.
At least this cowhand had some fun:
last year's birthday t-shirt
Then it was Mothers Day which turned out to be a lot like any other day. Paul made exceptional blueberry pancakes for us at least, and then the business of wrangling kids and sabbath responsibilities commenced per the norm, I didn't even get to take a nap which is a terrific injustice if you ask me. Boo hoo. I had to teach the lesson for my Sunday School class (which was terrible by the way, it's all fun and games until someone has to apply and impart gospel principles to a bunch of 17-18 year olds, I suuuuuck at this calling. Why can't we just hang out and talk for that hour instead? I'm dying to hear about the proms last weekend). After that was over there was another ginormo extended family Mothers Day celebration which I'm sure made my Grandma's posterity producing loins of yesteryear glow and radiate just like the tip of ET's finger. Oh geez. The turkey was pretty tasty though, thanks Ma and Happy Mothers Day to you, yesterday.
Proof that I am a mother and I made two boys with my very own lady parts to follow. Mamas for the win!
5 MINUTES TO SPARE!
phew

You are awesome. And a sexy hot mama. But next time, could the Sassies come along and "review" the cow branding? It would make for some great footage. ;) Happy belated Mother's Day--love you!
You look beautimous.
My husband just got called to teach the 16 year olds and is dreading it. He works with wicked teenagers every day as a juvenile PO and is used to relating to them in a Certain Way. As in, "TAKE THAT URINE TEST NOW OR YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL." I'm guessing that won't go over so well in Sunday School.
Maybe I'll tell him to ask about prom. Yeah.
Sue's comment is funny, because I've always WANTED to work with the teens in church. It does get tiring to constantly tell teens something is inappropriate or have to look at their cups of pee and assume they are high. I forget there are normal kids out there.
You look smashing, my friend.
You and your posterity=adorable. Love the Kalli fam.
You look FAB!
My arm hurts watching you hold that baby...
I teach the 14-15 year olds. I totally catch up with them each week. We have chat time for the first 5-10ish min. They want to talk as much as I do.
Hi Kalli!
Thanks for your comment. I'm gonna try the almond milk fo' sho'! Granola or not, I'm all for the healthier choice when it comes to my kids.....wish I could say the same for myself. Ha.
Okay, how adorable are your boys! And that little chubby babe of yours! Chubby babies are the best!
ps. I would feel sad for the cows too, but then again I would probably fall under the wuss category!
Happy Mother's Day! I'm surprised you didn't try to plan an escape for the cows to avoid the branding. I love the picture of you with your babies, it is darling!!! Your hair has grown a lot, it is so pretty!
