Welcome back!!
We hope you all have an excellent November and a peaceful Thanksgiving!!
During November we celebrated Sarah Lang and Peyton's Birthdays, deer season happened, Thanksgiving happenings, Anna, Ashley and I butchered two deer a friend gifted us, Mom and Dad took a trip to Colorado to pick up Havi and Joe who went home with our Grandma after the Ark trip, a "trip" to Bass Pro after Thanksgiving, and random shenanigans!
Well, shall we begin?!
An ice-skating outing to celebrate two very special people.
Happy Birthday, Sarah and Peyton! So thankful for you both. <3
The whole group, consisting of Coulter's, Lang's, and Lang cousins!
Norah and Peyton's pumpkin carving work this year!
When they have leftover food at a Farmer's Market
meeting and they give it all to you because of how many people are in your family
When Anna hacks your device she will leave
gorgeous pictures of herself on there, just a warning!
A pasture walk at Ray Archuleta's place!
Getting to hear him talk about the grazing strategy and getting to see his place was such a treat!
It was definitely a heavily attended Pasture Walk
Time to officially celebrate Peyton's 13th Birthday!!
Happy Birthday, Peyton!!
How are you already 13?!
I should have learned my lesson by now, this happens every time!
A gorgeous sunset I'm thankful I got to witness while coming up from a hunt
And so, on the first day of deer season a friend called and asked
if we would like a good size buck, and a small doe. We were definitely grateful for such a gift!!
Despite my face we had the whole situation under control
And so, while Anna and Ashley skinned the buck, I did the doe.
And Peyton? Yeah, she made for a good DJ.
Ta-Da!!
Anna's face XD
Anna sawing the legs apart, the process will definitely give you a good arm workout!
All done!! Thanks for all the help Peyton!
The wedding that Maddy got to be apart of!
Jubilee, Maddy, Bethany, Olivia, and Sarah
Anna, me, and Sharon (a friend from work) were able to meet up with Kalea and attend the November Barn dance! But, for some reason we completely forgot to snap a picture all together. So, here is a collection of the very few pictures we did get.
Such a festive barn!
Helping a neighbor clean up their old roof that had been removed.
Large trash can and small trash can!
After coming home in the dark one night, we noticed one of the cows (that hadn't looked too great for a couple weeks now), looked dead. After checking on her, we came to the conclusion it was obvious she wouldn't make it through the night. A neighbor who had stopped by to look her over had told us it would be best to put her down, but that was honestly something non of us wanted to do. It can be so hard to take the life of (even a sick) animal.
But that night it was clear to us, she couldn't be helped and she was pain. Even if it was very challenging for us, it needed to be done, for the cow's sake. We had done everything we could think of to help her, but after nothing worked we began to wonder if maybe it was bailing twine that was stuck in her stomach?
To this very day we don't know what was wrong with her. I'm just thankful she no longer has to deal with the pain.
Animals getting sick on a farm occur fairly often, but this was the first cow scenario.
~Thanksgiving Day~
While the rest of us hurried about preparing food, setting the table, and getting everything ready for our Thanksgiving meal, Peyton took the time to snap some very festive shots of the tables (and I'm so thankful she she did!). They almost look like they came out of a magazine.
Why are my siblings the way they are?
Three apple pies? You may ask. Anna, Norah and I decided we would have a pie contest!
The whole clan (just missing you, Maddy!)!
Please ignore the messy kitchen in the background. XD Oh well, that's real life for you.
After Peyton worked on this for exactly a week...
..she finished it!!
Even if it is a paint by number, it's still impressive to me, (who can't paint to save my life).
Can we pause for a moment and appreciate this cute little puppy?
Okay, you can continue scrolling now!
Black Friday shopping at Bass Pro with your whole family is pretty interesting!!
This is when the younger ones ask for things for Christmas without looking at the price tag first.
We stayed in the Christmas section for quite some time watching Katherine and Isaiah go round and round and round, and round, and round, and round, and round. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.
That's a cute kid
We frands ;)
"We most definitely don't have it all together, but together we have it all."
Church buddies are my absolute favorite! <3
And that's a wrap!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Come back soon for December's post (that will, Lord Willing, be published tomorrow)!
