Mom's Birthday

Monday was Mom's birthday!!! We celebrated Sunday, since Dad would be home and then on Monday we all went to a planting festival in Mansfield put on by Baker Creek Seed Co. We had never been before and it happened to be on Mom's birthday this year!!! It was pretty cool. It ended up being 80 degrees, making a great day for that! One of the really nice things about it was that we live really close to it! When you live out in the country, most of the time you find yourself driving about an hour to go anywhere! Yes, Anna and I took a lot of pictures while we were there.



With how big our garden is this year, I'm going to need this,  for this summer!

This old fashioned house and car were pretty cool!

They had a peacock there!!! I want to get a peacock one day.... just for fun!

The garden they had there was HUGE!



These are the people we processed for all summer last year. They were vendors there this year too!

Here is an overall view from the parking lot of what it looked like!

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! ...

Izzy's 12 Year Old Pictures

Now that Isabelle has been 12 for a month now, I finally got around to getting her pictures done! This post will be short and sweet and a big long one will be coming soon (hopefully)!

JULY

Hello everyone!!  Hope you all had a great July!! :) Ours included a 4th of July celebration, a brand new litter of 10 pigs, stocking up on hay for the winter months, a gun safety course we three older ones went through, a chicken butchering day, topped off with Ava Park fun with friends, a trip to Silver Dollar City, and creek fun!  Shall we begin? Our enthusiastic grill major for the 4th of July. I’m not sure about her, but the food was a 5+ rating! Can’t get more patriotic than this picture *wink* Whenever friends stop by for a visit and bring a cake,  there will be no complaints here!….Until everyone gets a sugar high. In honor of the 4th, I’ll share one of my favorite quotes: “Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. Thank them both today.” Ended the night with a bang, like (I’m assuming) everyone else did! And the very next day,… 10 of ‘em born on the 5th....
