A Joyous June!

Well, as usual, another month has flown by! There was the Summer Dance that our Church hosted, we got to go to a Discher and Underwood wedding, and all the fun things that surround these two events! Welp, might as well begin! :)
One of our garden beds with cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower & Dill. 
One morning one of our ducks surprised us when she came out with 9 little ducklings behind her.
Isaiah wanted to follow them around everywhere! 
Norah, Lydia, Ulia, Elena, and Peyton.
 For their last Sunday at Church, they all wanted a picture together as the Spillman's would be moving away a week later. 
Waking up at midnight every single time we butcher can 
 get annoying and very tiring. But hey, it's better
 to get it over with! This group is ready to knock out 
the biggest amount of chickens we have ever done for ourselves. 194 birds, here we come! 

Yup, Norah's ready to de-neck 'em! :)
Another humongous thanks to the Fords who came out to help us! :)
The next day I was wondering how in the world
 we all got up at midnight and butchered chickens until 2:30 p.m., and then had the energy to do this. 
It's all about Davis:
Creepy! 

Yeah, he got our camera
In the middle of flips :)

This was the sunrise on the way to the Farmer's Market one morning. Pretty awesome! 
Turtles are everywhere right now! :)
Beautiful backdrop after a great day! :)
WOA! Look at this lightning picture!!! It was an amazing storm
Yeah, this was the actual picture
 screen-shot from a video. But I still like the filtered one better! :)
This is how Isaiah walks around the farm these days.
We took a load of three pigs to the butcher!
 It all went smoothly, praise God! :)
The beautiful sky that night
Katherine got stuck in this bucket because she simply
 wanted to see if she could squeeze herself into it, and this is what happened:

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
