Why I like the smell of cow manure...

James and his brother, Bryce, just started a research project with BYU at the church's dairy farm nearby. Boy is James in HOG HEAVEN!!! Twice a week he gets to be reminded of why he takes all the arduous and boring classes that he does. He comes home tired from working with the big animals all day, but he sure is pleased as punch! I think it is wonderful that not only does he get to have a glimpse of his cow future, but he also gets to have this time with Bryce. We sure love having him so close by, but that might not always be the case. I am glad they get this bonding time while they can. Too bad Bryce wants to go into Accounting instead of Veterinary work. He and James could work together always and we wouldn't have to lose him/our babysitter to some city to to count the money of the city folk. Yip, we here Siegs are turning hick faster than we reckoned possible.

Mason is right proud of his poppy. Before I know it, I'll have two manure-smelling men around the house to dote on.
