Blackmail From the Old School Vault: Vol. 2

This picture was taken in 2006 at Miss Katelyn's graduation party. Whoop! What is wrong with this picture? Absolutely nothing. It is priceless. And reminds me of college. And Mexico. And the Corona Club. Oh, how I miss all these girls. And Acuña.

And, Anna, don't worry. It is not Katelyn's mom behind the camera. It is Brady. That is why you look so excited to see him.

Friday Ku-Tip: If I had only known

If I had only known that I would be pregnant at this very moment, there’s a few things I would not have done.

• Bought mules. They buck me off and like to eat a lot.
• Bought a tractor. It doesn’t buck me off but it came with a nice monthly payment.
• Bought the new mower. I’m too uncoordinated to even drive it. And it wasn’t free either.

Are you seeing a pattern here?

• Bought my awesome pair of skinny jeans. No, they were not on sale and I maybe got three months wear out of them.
• Mentally prepared to run the Dallas Rock N’ Roll half marathon in March. Not gonna happen. Brady is glad it’s not gonna happen. I think he got me pregnant just so he wouldn’t have to run this race.
• Promised the in-laws we’d go to Colorado this summer. I’ll be 8 months pregnant. My insurance is only good in BCS. Not going out of the state, let alone the area.
• Finally discovered my most favorite wine. I’ll see you in nine months.

So, with all that said, there will be a Lazy K Estate Sale coming soon. We will be selling all of our goodies for double what we paid for them. I’m just joking. Triple.

Ku-Tip: Apparently babies are expensive. But don't tell that to our ranch, because if we don't buy things for it, it gets its feelings hurt.

Shotgun!

Did I ever tell you that my dog also has FOMO? Did you forget what that is? That's okay — here's a quick reminder.

This is how we spent our days off during the Christmas break.

Me driving the tractor since it is probably not safe for a pregnant lady to fall out of the bucket.

Brady riding in the bucket because it's okay if he falls out.

And, Massey? Yes, Massey has to ride in the bucket with Brady. She loves it. And she can't stand to be more than 12 inches away from us at any one time.

I think she was so excited to jump in the bucket that she loaded up before I even had time to lower the bucket all the way to the ground.

Silly puppy. Buckets are for humans. And their pets apparently.

Friday Ku-Tip: How to catch a calf

If you haven't caught on already, we do things a little differently here at Lazy K. Like, how we round up our crazy bovine.

So, my advice to you on this Friday is to tell you how to properly catch an animal. In this case, how to properly catch a Doodle.

1. Find your new rope that you got for Christmas
2. Make a nice, big loop
3. Hold the rope over your shoulder and don't use it
4. Go find Doodle and tell her to follow you
5. Doodle will follow you

The calf is now properly caught.

Ku-Tip: If you train your animals correctly, you won't have any use for ropes, pens, halters or horses. Of course, this means your animal is now considered a pet, and everyone will make fun of you.
