 I am sorry for the delay in posting! Life on a farm keeps you quite busy! :)

I will now update you all on what has been going on here within the last week.

1st, we had our first REAL snow. Those other storms don't count because they didn't last long and left nothing. We don't get the kind of snow that Colorado does but we got a little bit on Sunday.

It has been below freezing every night for the past 2 weeks now. Which is a record for Missouri. They haven't had that before. Unfreezing water really isn't that bad. Breaking ice is easy. The only animals that really don't like this weather are the cats. They aren't allowed in the house and every once in a while they try to run right in when we open the door! 

We put straw in a shelter we have for the dogs so that they could stay warm at night. The only problem is...

The silly cow thought it was for her!




Yes, that is Maggie and Lizzy! They have grown so much!


2nd, Peyton turned 6 on Tuesday!

And 3rd, we went back to help some friends process turkeys! It was a rather cold day for processing but we got it done! That was our first time doing turkeys. Chickens are so much easier if you ask me :) It really doesn't make me look forward to processing our own next month in the cold.





 Mom got the job of keeping Katherine warm and happy!




Happy Thanksgiving!

August In A Nutshell

Hello folks!  We hope you all had a great August!  This month Mom, Dad, and Isaiah drove to CO to drop Peyton and Norah off, so they could visit with our Grandmas for two weeks. They were supposed to go to Germany and Austria with Grandma Mary in June, but, due to covid19, they weren’t able to go.  But they still needed some Grandma time! We also butchered around 300 chickens this month. We’ve never butchered that many at the same time before, so we broke them up into two different butcher days. (Since we had to cut up 200 of them).  And took steers to the butcher!!!  August was also ‘drought  month’ for MO. The fields turned crispy brown,  which hasn’t been helpful for our grazing cattle.   Thankfully, we’ve gotten some good rains right at the end of the month,  and things have once again greened up! Priscilla (my cow) FINALLY had her calf!! We’ve been waiting so long for her to arrive! (YES!!! She had a heifer!!!!!!) So, the process of milking has finally begun! And we’re already get

April

 Welcome Back!! Hope you all had a great April! For us, it was quite crazy! But I guess we should be used to that by now. Overview of April: Springfield Symphony with my cello teacher, her husband, and a few other friends, a Bakers creek Festival, hiking at Ha-Ha Tonka with some of the Ford's, Easter, and a Family Conference in Big Sandy, Texas with the Ford family! Springfield Symphony in Downtown Springfield! Such a beautiful building!! The Symphony!  We also had the pleasure of getting to watch one of the world's best cellists, Bryan Cheng! When you randomly discover that the blue lights in your room make yellow highlighters glow! .....and your siblings ask you to write all over them, and not only do you listen to them but you also think it's a great idea🙈 It's a yellow nose and arms for the win!! Somebody's got a bun in the oven! ;) It's Anna in the background for me! 😂 Got a chance to get some quality time in with this beautiful girl! I love our walks and
