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!
The moms fellowship
Another cute little guy!
Anna, always happy to be on child duty!
Dramatic water jump!
This one's gonna be GOOD!
Water Jump With Style!
Jump And Plug!
 Norah and Mom on Norah's weekend away.
Norah in her happy place!
 Pictures after church with sweet friends
Grace, Hosanna, Hannah, Ashley, Tessa, Joonie, Anna, Tristen, Tori, and Arwen,
and Izzy behind the camera!
It's 2:30 am! These kids are ready to process CHICKENS!!!
 Our assembly line of talented helpers
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!
June chicken processing completed! This calls for a game of volleyball...
...and Roller skating the next day! 
 STOP! Say Cheese!
"Just don't fall, just don't fall, just don't fall"
First Time On Skates! Katherine loved it!
Out for brunch at Hemingway's for Father's day!
Front porch sittin' 
 Our church's summer ball! It was so fun!
Swing your partner
 Pretty gal pals
 The cutest couple of the night!
"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! ...

Catching Up

Well, I thought I would start doing one post at the beginning of the month about the previous one, but its clear (at least to me) that it doesn't work to well. At least I don't like the way it was working out. I like doing smaller posts more often then one large post less often. Its just my style. So I am waiting no longer to share this photos from the first half of this month! Its amazing to think about all that has happened this month already. Its been pretty busy. Well first of all, like every year, the month started out with Norah's birthday!  Izzy got her 9 year old photos. I think this one is my favorite. This year, mom and some of my little siblings did something different and hung pictures around the the dining and living area from ultrasound pictures of her to recent pictures of her. It was a pretty neat idea!  Yes, you could say we do things pretty fancy when its someone's birthday  Mom working on the cake  'Wow! Your nine...
