April Happenings

Welcome back, friends and random viewers! A very full April, 2018 is in the books, and it began with...LAMBS!

 Caution: lamb overload ahead!!!
This is an all-time favorite! Isaiah had a captive audience.
Katherine was just happy to have a farm animal she could carry!
Got to see this one being born!
This was our first time having to assist a mother in labor! Baby and mom are fine.;)




They're not lambs, but Izzy's first batch of bunnies were born!
Look who's walking!
 A wonderful visit with Mrs. Browning

 Grandpa and Nana stopped in for a visit!!! 

Fun new hats and socks from Colorado!!!
Norah baked what she always does...cookies;)
Animal show and tell around the farm
For Nana and Grandpa, it was love at first sight meeting our bottle lamb, Buddy.
Next Day: We are at Smallin Civil War cave for a tour!
Enjoying an Osage song
"Rule number one, always listen to John. Rule number two, stay on the path. Rule number three...he who has gas, must travel at the back of the pack (Just Kidding!)."

Hey cute little fella

 Isaiah's still trying to figure out where he is
Gazing at fossilized creatures on the ceiling
 A very fun experience!
 Next Day: at Silver Dollar City!!!
Grandpa and Nana
The Festival of Wonder



I think Grandpa enjoyed the Giant Barn Swing!

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...
