It's calving season at the ranch. Now that grandpa and grandma are on their mission, we have added responsibility over at the ranch. Blake has been going over every Thursday night, only to wake up every two hours and ride through the cattle to check for struggling newborn calves. Fortunately, the boys have had some time off at school, allowing them to go with him. Another bonus is being friends with a "real-life" delivery doctor, Gary Fowers. We appreciate their help so much. This picture is taken before they all left. I should have taken one upon their return. Their eyes were much more red, and the clothes a lot more dirty. Ethan came home at 5:00pm the following day, went to bed at 5:30, and didn't wake up until 9:00am then next morning. I publicly thank Blake for going over every Thursday without complaint. I think he is probably wondering, not for the first time, what he has gotten himself into marrying a Blotter girl!

There is something special about boys working the ranch. Brian's dad owns a lot of cows and one of our special traditions is helping grandpa with taking care of the calves in the fall and getting them ready to leave their mama's. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I am sure glad that night is over with. Have a great week!!!
What a great experience for you all. Good luck with the ranching.
Yeee-ha! I had no idea that you and Blake were ranchers. I am very impressed. Surprised and impressed.
