Farmer Jed!!































My childhood dream came true.....I married a farmer! Or was that a childhood nightmare? This weekend Jed's parents were out of town so we got the privelage of feeding cows! The first picture is of Jed loading the hay on the truck. After he laid it perfectly on the truck bed I told him that I was sickly nervous the whole time he was loading it that he would dump it on the ground.......he was hurt that I didn't have more faith in his "skills." So now I can say in confidence that "my man has the skills to pay the bills!" (he loves it when I talk like that) So anyway--the next picture is of him scooping the hay off the truck and into the field for the cows to eat. The picture below is of ME driving the truck in the field for him. My grandpa Bell would be proud. The last picture is the newest addition to the Baadsgaard family. He's our first calf born this year. Pretty cute huh. After we were all done Jed said "See honey--wasn't that fun!" and I said "yes, it was fun.....but if I HAD to do it every day....not so fun." Jed buys a few more cows every year in hopes that some day we'll have a heard like his dad and we'll HAVE to move to Spanish Fork. As you can tell.....I'm still dragging my feet and not convinced yet!

You are a good woman to go work on the farm, side by side, with your man!
Cute calf!! I need to bring parker to the farm so he knows his animals better. About a month ago we drove past some cows and Parker said "Look Grandpa, PIGS!". We explained that they were cows. Then a few weeks ago, we drove past a field and there were 2 dogs in the field. Parker said "Look, COWS!". Ee-Gad, where have I gone wrong??

You have to know that I would give my eye teeth to live out in the country (now that I don't HAVE to milk cows)...We do need to have a party out at the farm! You both looked mighty capable driving!

So how many cows did Jed have to pay to get you? Seriously though you look good in the truck, I think someone has found their life calling.

I always say to Michael...life would be so much simpler if we all just lived on a farm! I think I would like it!

It really would be your dream come true if the farm were in Blackfoot!
