Didn't the previous paragraph sound like I know what I'm talking about. That is thanks to Google. Because when Jason suggested we get a couple of bucket bottle calves for the kids to take care of this summer, I really was clueless. But, since we're always up for an adventure around our house, I was all for it!
We received the girl {heifer} first. Her name is Lola Aleshia Sanders. Cooper came up with 'Lola,' Gabe added the middle name 'Aleshia,' and of course why wouldn't the new member of our clan share our last name.
A few days later the boy {bull} arrived. His name is MJ. He was originally named 'Yoda' by the kids, but dad overruled and called him MJ {he came to us with an ear tag numbered 23, Michael Jordan's number. Hence, MJ.}
The kids feed the calves from their bottles twice a day, which they love {the calves AND the kids.} It's been a joy to watch Gabe, Cooper and Chloe take on the responsibility of taking care of the calves. They really enjoy the whole process. And although I would never want to have a whole herd of cows, these two calves are quite an adorable addition to our clan. And their little Moo's are adorable too!
Here's some photos from our new adventure...

Gavin wishing his bottle was as big as the calves...
Our cat, Walle, does not care for the calves. He sits in the tree above them with his back hunched, ready to attack...
Chloe with MJ, very reminiscent of little house on the prairie...

How fun! What a great experience for the kids!
Awesome pics and post Angie, how great that you have these calves now and your children can experience this. The pic of Gavin and the bottle is hilarious!!!!
I love it! Cows are one of my favorite animals. I love all of the pictures but the last is my favorite too. Have fun with your new additions!
Wow, that is quite an undertaking, much different than getting a new dog! ha
They are so cute and what a cool experience for your kids. Your pics are wonderful!!
Thanks for stopping by, I have been out of the loop lately!! :-)
Holy cow! What a fun experience for your kids. I also love the last picture!
What a fun life you have! This is so great for the kids. Love the photos, I'm especially in love with the last one!!!
I'm glad to hear we're not the only ones who have been having a crazy-busy summer! I haven't checked in for a while, but I see I didn't miss many entries as you've been busy too. :-)
Also, I like how my idea of a summer project is to knit a small shawl, while yours is to get two calves! I love the picture of Gavin with the bottle. So adorable. Hope you're having a great summer.
Dear Visitor,
Market is showing some good move. Nifty traders are now confused if they should go short in Nifty from current level of 5400 or should go further long. NSE and BSE are the two major stock exchanges of Indian stock market. Keeping in mind that many investors and traders are very much confused with the current market move, we have stared posting " title="technical research reports"> technical research reports These reports are highly accurate and are available for free.

Stock market investment if done with proper research and updated knowledge than it can give very lucrative results. There are four basic golden rules of stock market which are to be followed. (thebuzzingstreet1@gmail.com)www.buzzingstreet.com
Nifty is on its peak now and is turning volatile. Investors are suggested to book long delivery positions soon. As after some more upmove we can see profit booking in the market soon. Investors are suggested to grab quality stocks at lower level again.
A very interesting post. I would like to suggest on stock market. Traders must use highly accurate stock tips of market experts or analysts so that they can earn good returns on their investment. Also should keep good track record of NSE and BSE.
