A Memorable January

First off, sorry for the delay! It's been a busy year! :p We were so blessed with all we got to do this month! Let's quit chatting and hit the highlights! :) 
What better way to start off the new year then to going to WOW?!  (Wonder's Of Wildlife Museum)
And boy, was it Wow!!

The lighting cast a beautiful blue hue on our heads!!

Half our crew (Dad, Ashley, Peyton, Havi, and Joe) took a trip up to Colorado to visit family! Here they are at Grandma's house making snowmen,...or some kind of snow creatures!!
Standing proud and tall!
What a nice day in Colorado!
Meanwhile in Missouri, an ice storm hit our area and took out several trees.
Our faithful guard dog, Ike!  
It's catch-a-calf time! Here we are waiting for Mom to castrate one of the new bull calves. 
 It's a girl!!! We welcome "Little Bitty" to the herd! :)

Yay, a frozen pond!!!

Pure awesomeness! Anna captured a shot of the Blood Moon.
 Mornings with Isaiah: Never a dull moment!



 Icy winter mornings are one of the best (and worst) things out here!





 A walk through the woods with Anna and Havi!

What a Character!

Hope ya'll had a wonderful January!!
God Bless!

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...

Izzy's 12 Year Old Pictures

Now that Isabelle has been 12 for a month now, I finally got around to getting her pictures done! This post will be short and sweet and a big long one will be coming soon (hopefully)!
