 I am sorry for the delay in posting! Life on a farm keeps you quite busy! :)

I will now update you all on what has been going on here within the last week.

1st, we had our first REAL snow. Those other storms don't count because they didn't last long and left nothing. We don't get the kind of snow that Colorado does but we got a little bit on Sunday.

It has been below freezing every night for the past 2 weeks now. Which is a record for Missouri. They haven't had that before. Unfreezing water really isn't that bad. Breaking ice is easy. The only animals that really don't like this weather are the cats. They aren't allowed in the house and every once in a while they try to run right in when we open the door! 

We put straw in a shelter we have for the dogs so that they could stay warm at night. The only problem is...

The silly cow thought it was for her!




Yes, that is Maggie and Lizzy! They have grown so much!


2nd, Peyton turned 6 on Tuesday!

And 3rd, we went back to help some friends process turkeys! It was a rather cold day for processing but we got it done! That was our first time doing turkeys. Chickens are so much easier if you ask me :) It really doesn't make me look forward to processing our own next month in the cold.





 Mom got the job of keeping Katherine warm and happy!




Happy Thanksgiving!

Memories From March

Hello all! We're back again! Man, what a busy month! Several birthdays, fun events, farm life, and everyday happenings! Shall we begin? This month literally started out with Norah turning 11! Here's just a few of her birthday photos!  This year, Norah requested a doughnut cake! Two doughnuts a person! Let's just say we all felt horrible that night. Loading more pigs up  Isaiah still doesn't know what to think of the sheep Izzy and Mr. Grumpy Gills  Katherine started riding a two-wheeler bike, with a little help from the training wheels! She could totally be a model!  Chick season has come around the corner...again! This will always be a favorite!  They make for good pets...when they're little anyway!  When you don't have a tractor and you need to seed the fields...  ...and chop broom grass down When Mom's not putting the food in your mouth fast enough  Meet the new bull calf, Demitri! ...

January + February

 Welcome back! First of all, I apologize for the delay in posting this. I wish I could blame it on busyness, but it was also kind of a little procrastination. BUT, I hope you all had a fabulous January + February! It's still crazy to think we're now in the year of 2022, (am I the only one who continually keeps writing 2021 and then has to replace it with 2022?!).  During January we had the privilege of getting to witness the marriage of Dalton + Kenzie,                        Mom and Katherine made a sudden trip to Colorado for some family business (we ended up going two in a half weeks without her, which, if you have seen the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen," you understand how the last few days without her went. We were overjoyed to have her back home by the end of the 2 1/2 weeks!!), winter shenanigans, and other life happenings!      I think I can speak for everyone when I say, that I think the highligh...
