A Jam-Packed June

Hello all! We hope you had a wonderful June!
Another month has gone and another has sprung up out of nowhere. Where is this year going?
Let's reminisce back into the past, shall we...?


 The garden is coming along nicely this year!
Our watermelons in progress
Isaiah's morning bed hair and facial expressions are quite exotic...and adorable!
 ...he's also walking so well now! Why he's wearing a helmet is a mystery to us!
Cute little guy!
 Our monthly get-together with the Fords, Langs, and Niednagels!
 So much joy in one picture!

ALL 180 Chickens Butchered, Bagged, Weighed, Labeled, and into refrigeration by 9:30 am!
Nice work everyone! Thank you again, Kalea, Langs, and Mr. Gellman for all your help!

"I think we're getting the hang of this, guys!"
We said good-bye to Tim-T-bone. He was our first steer to take to the butcher. Yeah, it's kind of sad, but we're all very excited to try our own beef!
Beating the heat by sitting in the freezer! (Actually, she was cleaning it.)
Maddy had a birthday! It was so strange without her at home,
 but the staff at Lamplighter really made her birthday special!
Oh, and she actually enjoys playing volleyball now!
And that's a wrap! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful July!

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...
