A Recap of November

This is my absolute favorite time of year! HOLIDAYS! With time spent with family, decorating, farm-life sorta dying down with no meat chickens, and of course the yummy food!;) Can't forget that one! 
      How was everyone's Thanksgiving? This year we spent it as a family which was really nice. Though it was sad not having Maddy here for another holiday, but we're really looking forward to spending Christmas with her!

 On the roof to get pictures of the fall colors before they all fade away
 Izzy enjoying the view...
 ...and then there's mom worrying!;D
 Hard to beat this view!
Last one:)
 This year we participated in the Operation Christmas Child. Here, everyone is packing their box!  


Cutie
 At the Ford's home sewing baby blankets for a pregnancy center. 
 This was the first time the little's got to sew something big like a blanket, and they did a great job! Here, Peyton is cutting out her blanket.


" There's CUPCAKES!"
Kaitlyn wouldn't stop taking pictures of us.;p
Peyton's 10th birthday!
Face-timing with Maddy. I'm pretty sure Isaiah was playing peek-a-boo, however, he might have been hiding....;)
Happy birthday, Peyton!
 Hey, look! We got a deer! Not ourselves though. A couple of Dad's cow-workers love to hunt, but don't want anything to do with the meat, so Dad told them that we'd be more than happy to take em'! We got three total!
 Yeah, we looked like a processing facility.
Meat! Lot's of meat!
 We had a beautiful snowfall!

I did that! ;)
Face-timing Maddy, once our sister, now a puppy!
Ashley, Izzy, and I got a lesson on how to shoot a gun and going hunting. This was our first time to do both! Thank you Drake for teaching us the basics of it all!


Ready to go!
Smile, Smile, " eww, a bug in my coat!"
Thanksgiving meal prepin'
Katherine did this platter all by herself!


Instead of doing the traditional turkey for the meal, we had our own beef tender loin!
Thankful for everyone right here...and Maddy who is sadly not here.
A few ate too much!
We had a nice bonfire in the evening


The moon rising in the distance was so pretty! 
Yay! I got a bow! Now to practice and hopefully put it to use in the future.:)
 This was before we put the ornaments on, but it's still pretty 
 Out at the Andersland's ranch and shooting range for a lesson in gun safety and shooting! This was Norah, Peyton, Havi, and Joe's first time to shoot a gun! Thank you Anderslands!

 Peyton did a great job!

 Lot's of shooting going on here!
Thanks Joel for your patience... ;)
 Not bad!

Sacked out bro.


Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas!

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
