A Joyful January

 Another month has come and gone and it feels like so much has happened in just a short amount of time! To name a few, we have a new van, a new trailer, we started back up at the farmers' market, my parents finally let me get my drivers license, and Dad started a new job! God has really blessed us. 
Now I shall tell you what we have been up to ;)


 It was nice to get some weather that reminded me of Colorado! I love snow.
 Plus, snow is a great touch to the farm.
 See? The dogs love it!
Snowflakes on Izzy's rabbit. Each individual one is so beautiful.
 Dad, Ashley, Norah, and Peyton went to Colorado for a week to visit the Grandparents. I think they enjoyed themselves!
 Norah Peyton and Ashley in front of the family farm in Arvada. 
 Well, snow calls for a snowball fight! 
 Oh that's a cute picture of Peyton...
Yep, that's so Peyton.


 Hanging with my buddy :) Pretty soon I will have an even smaller buddy to hang out with!
 She's growing up so fast!
 She is still adorable when she's sleeping. Love these!
 Anna took a picture of a puddle and managed to make it look like a tornado by rotating it upside down. She is trying everything.
 Anna gets the photo credit for this picture too. Ice and sun are a pretty mix.
 Oh, speaking of Anna...
 One of the best parts of January! We have a van again! 
 A cooler photo of it.
 Then the next week we added a trailer.
Then it was back to market! 
 Playing on the frozen spring. She fell into the splits! Haha!
 Helping Izzy do a handstand.
 She's into it.
 At least she has a good attitude about doing chores in the cold!
  These guys are cute together. And yes, Norah is wearing shorts in January.
 I couldn't pick between this......
 ......or this. Here is something to put a smile on your face today!
I got some canvases for Christmas and this is the first one that I painted. Art is so much fun!
 The Niednagels had a delayed 1940's new years party at the end of January. You can see the theme by looking at these guys!
Anna, Tessa, Ashley, and Rebekkah.
 Visiting...

 Singing time! Their house has sure full of people!
 They had everyone take a test on the movie theme of the party, It's a Wonderful Life. I probably should have watched the movie to refresh my memory before hand.


 Sweet friends, Autumn and Hannah.

 The yummy cake Melissa made. Bad time to try to start eating healthy again.
 The most vintage you have ever seen us. I wasn't even planning on dressing up.
Playing games. This is where watching the movie before, would have really come in handy. That's when you just pretend to play while really having no idea what anyone is acting out. Our team won anyway!
And finally dancing time. Some of those people can really dance! They were fun to watch. What a fun party!

That's it for now! See you next time!

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
