A Recap of November

This is my absolute favorite time of year! HOLIDAYS! With time spent with family, decorating, farm-life sorta dying down with no meat chickens, and of course the yummy food!;) Can't forget that one! 
      How was everyone's Thanksgiving? This year we spent it as a family which was really nice. Though it was sad not having Maddy here for another holiday, but we're really looking forward to spending Christmas with her!

 On the roof to get pictures of the fall colors before they all fade away
 Izzy enjoying the view...
 ...and then there's mom worrying!;D
 Hard to beat this view!
Last one:)
 This year we participated in the Operation Christmas Child. Here, everyone is packing their box!  


Cutie
 At the Ford's home sewing baby blankets for a pregnancy center. 
 This was the first time the little's got to sew something big like a blanket, and they did a great job! Here, Peyton is cutting out her blanket.


" There's CUPCAKES!"
Kaitlyn wouldn't stop taking pictures of us.;p
Peyton's 10th birthday!
Face-timing with Maddy. I'm pretty sure Isaiah was playing peek-a-boo, however, he might have been hiding....;)
Happy birthday, Peyton!
 Hey, look! We got a deer! Not ourselves though. A couple of Dad's cow-workers love to hunt, but don't want anything to do with the meat, so Dad told them that we'd be more than happy to take em'! We got three total!
 Yeah, we looked like a processing facility.
Meat! Lot's of meat!
 We had a beautiful snowfall!

I did that! ;)
Face-timing Maddy, once our sister, now a puppy!
Ashley, Izzy, and I got a lesson on how to shoot a gun and going hunting. This was our first time to do both! Thank you Drake for teaching us the basics of it all!


Ready to go!
Smile, Smile, " eww, a bug in my coat!"
Thanksgiving meal prepin'
Katherine did this platter all by herself!


Instead of doing the traditional turkey for the meal, we had our own beef tender loin!
Thankful for everyone right here...and Maddy who is sadly not here.
A few ate too much!
We had a nice bonfire in the evening


The moon rising in the distance was so pretty! 
Yay! I got a bow! Now to practice and hopefully put it to use in the future.:)
 This was before we put the ornaments on, but it's still pretty 
 Out at the Andersland's ranch and shooting range for a lesson in gun safety and shooting! This was Norah, Peyton, Havi, and Joe's first time to shoot a gun! Thank you Anderslands!

 Peyton did a great job!

 Lot's of shooting going on here!
Thanks Joel for your patience... ;)
 Not bad!

Sacked out bro.


Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas!

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! ...

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....
