Our First Thanksgiving in Missouri!

Posted by: Maddy

This year was the first year we all spent a holiday by ourselves. It was quite nice actually. We did miss celebrating with the rest of the Coulters back in Colorado, but it was nice to have a quiet holiday for a change. We got to spend time together talking about what thankfulness really means and how we can all work on being grateful. It's a good time to remember that God is the reason we have what we have and He is the one that placed us together with the family He did for a reason.

We had a 23 pound turkey! Ours weren't ready in time as you know,so we found someone else who raises them the same way we do to get one from.

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
