Our Trip to Colorado!

This last week we went back to Colorado for a week long visit. It was great to see family and friends we haven't seen in a long time. The time spent there flew by way too fast. 

I have a lot of photos I want to share so I think I will make this into a 2 part post.

The road trip to get there went really good! We left early Sunday morning and made it to Denver around dinner time.

It was so good to be back! It was really nice to see mountains again!
Lovely view from Stanley Lake
The first full day we were at Grandmas, the little ones and her made popcorn balls




Then, Norah and Izzy started making themselves some extra large ones!

We also got to see our cousin Sammie, Megan and her husband Karl and their son Ronan and Aunt Karen. I hadn't seen them in at least 2 years and that was our first time to meet Ronan. We met them at the park and then went back to Grandmas house after it got too cold.

SNOW!!!
The next morning it snowed about 8 inches!!! That evening was Bradley and Chavvah's wedding. Chavvah had prayed for snow that day so she could have snow pictures! Is that cool or what?


Joe was enjoying it!
One of our highlights of the week was definitely the wedding. It was great to see the Oggs again and see Chavvah get married! Plus all the other friends that we haven't seen in so long!

Awesome friends!

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! ...

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 milk...
