Farm Friday

As the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac the wet muddy buckshot rice and beans ground it a mess so the Farmer had to get some new combine shoes on these are called tracks. They make it to where the combine will not get stuck in the field.

Look at how these farm equipments are getting so tech savvy. I thought I was going to catch up some if my trash reality TV shows on this TV but the Farmer explained it wasn't a TV it was a monitor that ran off satellite. Yes I was sadly disappointed and wanted off immediately. How boring would it of been if Ive stayed? Well I sucked it up and stayed yes I love my husband that much or at least that day I did.

 How many men does it take to clean off a header?

This header is on the front of the combine and it has teeth that scoops the rice and feeds it through a belt and send it to the back of the combine also know as hopper

This is the hopped it has a window inside the combine and this is what it looks like from inside the combine. This is where is stores until it is full

 

Once full the grain cart will come and it will come from out of the hopper through the auger and dumps it all out on the grain cart and then the grain cart takes it to the 18wheelers and then they take it and store it in the grain bins

Yes this is my luck

 

Can you believe this not ever a year ago Maci Broke her humerus and now Mauri has a fractured humerus. Its not very humerus to me...I'm mean I'm just saying

Mauri was getting on her bed and slipped and fell and hit her elbow on our hardwood floors she cried so I thought something of it but knew if I went to the ER nothing would get done except Xrays so Ill take her in the a.m. I doped gave her enough Tylenol to knock her out with out ODing her.
Its wonderful to have a friend that is a Pharmacist on speed dial and a nurse as a sister n law and husbands cousin as a physician assistant and another sister n law as a nurse practitioner. But then me being a Mom just don't sound so sophisticated as them. Anyways....I took her the next morning to the doctor and while we waited for the results I met my mom for lunch and then to Tech so see my brother new house since he is a college kid now all the while Mauri started feeling better so much better she was showing evryone her cheer and dancing and even feel down steps and didnt cry. SO I told my mom its not broke we wasted our time getting it xrayed. I sent the video to the Farmer of Mauri cheering and all he could say was...WOW
Then I got a phone call from dr saying it is fractured and she even has a joint effusion so I needed to make an appt with the orthopedic doctor. They said since she is doing so good and it is only a fracture and not complete break at her size a finger to shoulder cast would be so heavy and actually could cause more damage so they did a splint cast which is a hard cast on bottom and left it open on top and then wrapped it with ace bandage. Im loving this..she can undo it for bath whooo to the whooo. So thats where we are today. My kids need bubble wrap they all 3 have now have cast. Rhett broke his wrist when he was 1 1/2 he fell climbing up our 2 steps in playroom.

This just looks uncomfortable

 She is so over all this doctor stuff she is a homebody and wants to be in her bed

She couldn't let that ugly cast bring her down so she had to accessorize

Forget Facelift..... I got a whole new face

I have shared a few details on my new blog name and design and today here it is. I am so excited about this and love love love the new look.
Tiffany has been so great to work with I know nothing when it comes to blog design and she broke it all down and worked with me each step she designed it most of the time I was like girl go on do your thing and let me tell ya she did her thang sista! I love it and with my brain and life all crazy whats more perfect than Kelli's Krazyness? I feel like I'm on the crazy train nonstop and just when I think its going to stop at the station is just speeds up for the next one.

 

I will leave you on this little funny and have wonderful weekend loves

Friday Favorites

1. Thanks to Raven for sharing this great product that I am now in love with. Tangles be gone!!! Don’t you wish it was that easy! Those pesky tangles can make it quite difficult to brush through your after after you cleanse it. When you try to brush through the tangles it’s painful and it can cause your hair to rip out. Most of us don’t want to lose our hair if we can avoid it. Luckily for us there is a new detangler out there made with ot favorite, Argan Oil.

2. Being that I'm an hour away from Starbucks and I actually have to make my coffee :(  my new favorite kind right now is French Vanilla and I have been drinking this whole box and went out to get another. I just add Trivia instead of sugar and a touch of 2% milk and bam Ive got my mug filled up and ready to go. I chug it down on the way taking the kids to school.

 

 

 

3. This smell so good I cant get enough of it I often spray my girls down with this just so I can smell it when they give me hugs. But hey I am a sucker for perfume so I collect alot of them and always have them anywhere I am from bathroom, bedroom, purse, car console and every nook and cranny I can stick one I place one. I have a strong smell sensory and I cant take funky or musty

4. I am loving Stila Cosmetics products Ive gotten a few in my Birchbox and I am totally digging them. I have the liquid eyeliner, bronzer and a few lip stains and gloss. These are wonderful and I cant say enough when I run out I will be purchasing them



 

5. Now this is what I like to call a Double Bonus....Cardio and then can try out what you've learned later tonight and earn some wife/girlfriend Bonus points or what I like to call I.O.Us. I have been needing this a long time ago because the reason I don't exercise is because its boring and no fun but this was alot of fun especially doing it with your mother n law is even more exciting or creepy however you want to look at it. More than not the Mother n Law prob have more tmi convos so its ok





Meet our new baby....

As of September 17th we have a new little bull calf. He is really special because he is our first baby off our Hereford bull. It's just something about Herefords that have my heart. When a calf is newborn they are the most precious and cutest thing you will ever see. The kids and I get all beside ourselves and can just watch them forever. Most of our Momma cows are really sweet and kind and will let us get close enough to them unless Wrangler {our blueheeler} is around and they HATE Wrangler!

Meet Deuce... he looks just like his Daddy so we figured it was only fitting.

So many ranchers choose their name according to the bloodline and yatta yatta but I on the other hand like a cow that has swagger and its all in the name. 

Deuce and his Momma

Right beside the calf is an opening into a round pen and that's where these two love hanging out she has been hidding her little calf in the grass from predators that's there natural instinct. If they are in the big pasture it can sometimes takes us up to hours trying to find their calf they hide them good



Duece is meeting all the other H5 ranch family. Bentley & Mavrick are checking him out



Also on the H5 we had to Freeze Branding and do shots and apply an anti parasite

Working the cows consists of herding them into the working pens and down to the alleyway into the Priefert Squeeze Chute for us to properly handle them. This can take all day or half day depending on if the cows cooperate.

 

First you need to give the cow a little haircut where you want your branding to go

 If you look closely you can see the numbers whelped up and in 6-8 weeks it will turn white and you will really be able to see it I will post on that then.



This is the working pen and head chute

 

 These are some of our clowns workers.

Herbert was mad because he hasn't made the blog and now he can officially say he made it LOL

 Pedro looks like he could care less

 

Brother n Law on the phone true loving.

Can you tell he is a newly wed? So Sweet

 

When the Farmer and I were dating Mason was 7 years old and now he has grown up and working for us. Crazy how time has flown by. He is giving her a little massage.

 

Birthday weekend fun

My birthday weekend was Amazing and I had a wonderful time. We went to The Viking cooking school for a dessert class on cupcakes and cake balls. We made all kinds of wonderful goodies. If you have never been I would def recommend.  I would only suggest that you did a shorted class instead of 5 hours if you are like me. They have all kinds of classes i want the farmer and I go to the steak date nite class.
With my ADD it was kind of hard paying attention from 9-2 I did good until around 12 then I liked the chit chatting but we made it through. Learned alot also.
By the looks of this picture I was def running my jaws and trying to smile all at the same time

 

 We were celebrating we made it through this class now lets go next door to Sombra for Mexican and Margaritas



Our instructors were great they were so much fun

Here is my to go box with all that I made...yes I chunked it in there I was ready over it at this point and needed birthday cocktails 

 

Our next stop was just right next door Sombra

After we got our belly full and good cocktails we were ready to shop til we dropped at Renaissance Colony Park. We stayed in the hotel inside of there so everything was in walking distance.

I have never been to Ruth Chris and let me tell ya I have been missing out. It was the best and I do mean the best steak ever! The atmosphere was also nice. Everything we all got was excellent. The wine and cocktails were perfect and topped off a long day.


We all packed cute fun dresses and our best set of hooker heels but were all way to tired to get all dressed up so we just threw dressy casual together and out the door we went dry shampoo and all.

We then looked for a liquor store that closed at 10pm on a Friday night what????? So we went to our hotel bar ordered cocktails and wine that we got free once they found out it was my Bday we also got a to go bottle and went to the room changed into our jammies and drank and gossiped. That next am we got up got us some breakfast in and more shopping we went. Wow can you say tired that is what I am but a blast was had and I'm so thankful of my sweet hubby for watching the kids and to all my girls for joining in and celebrating this amazing bday with me.

It is officially my 30th Birthday and being that the Farmer is in the field and couldn't celebrate until after harvest {Farmer and I will celebrate in November in Mexico can't wait} I knew that I could count on my girls. We are celebrating my Birthday weekend in Ridgeland MS.

Here is a little sneak peak of my Birthday weekend

Farm Life & a funny

Maci: Momma where did Mauri's middle name Laken come?
Me: I.....
Mauri: {quickly interrupted me} I know its after Abraham Laken
Me: after laughing so hard..replied no I didnt name you after Abraham Lincoln and its Lincoln not Laken
Oooo my crazy kids

 

While hurricane Isaac was well on its way the Farmer was doubled up in the field trying to get the crop out of the field I had to take over the cows and other animals so the kids and I had to round up the cows and take them to greener pastures so I guess this can give new meaning to the grass is never greener on the other side...not in this case.

Wrangler helped can you tell he really worked hard? LOL yeah right

While we are waiting on hurricane Isaac Mauri made a volcano for us to wait for also

 

Oreo wanted to get in on the action and he needed his picture took

We couldn't leave Maverick out he need to have his picture also

 

My 3 lil Jackasses....they remind me so much of my kids

 

Needless to say we got the job done and everyone was happy.

Thankful Isaac didn't give us hardly any damage.
