Like the snap of a finger, May has come and gone. It's officially busy season here at Peak View Farm! This month Mom, Dad, and Havi all got the awesome opportunity to visit Maddy up in New York for one week and leave the rest of us kids here at home!! :) Lambs have been popping out all month but the last one was finally born on May 27th. Which brought us up to a total of about 35 lambs! Mom and Joe had Birthdays and there were other fun happenings! Scroll on down to see just what we did! =)
We started May off by celebrating Mom's Birthday!
After lots and lots of rain this is the most beautiful thing to see!
This ewe and her lamb proudly posed for this picture.
Here we are at the Bakersville Festival! Didn't get a lot
of photo's. Just ones of these guy's playing in the sand box! :)
Anna captured this amazing photo after a big storm came through.
The chickens thankfully made it through!!!
And now it's time to butcher them!!!
Huge thanks to the Ford's who came to help!!
The very next day Joe had his 7th Birthday!
He requested cheesecake with mint Oreos.
Yep, that's the best we could do after a long butcher day.
Well, at least it tasted good!
"Uh oh, Isaiah, you must have been a bad boy!!"
Anna also got this awesome picture from a puddle on the lane!
Yep, that's the best we could do after a long butcher day.
WARNING: Lamb picture overload ahead!!!!!
These are an adorable set of twins they're holding!
Another set of twins!
And yet another set of twins! :) (We had a lot of sets of twins!)
They're just so cute!! :)
See what I mean?!
This girl had an audience while she was giving birth! :)
Within a few minutes they are strong enough to lift their heads up!!
And shortly afterward, they try to walk! :)
The lamb in the background was rejected by her mother, but adopted by this sweet ewe!
This is what we call a "flerd!" (flock/herd)
Anna finally got to Isaiah's Birthday photo's and while she was at it, she did Joe's as well! :)
Isaiah didn't cooperate for most of the pictures though!
...........and while she was at it she took pictures of herself!
Mother's Day came next:) So thankful for our WONDERFUL Mom!
Mom, Dad, and Havi are off to
New York to
visit Maddy!
This is Havi's first plane ride.
Can't you tell she's excited?!?!?! :)
And they made it! It's the real Lamplighter Headquarters! The house behind the sign is the main building, bookstore, future cafe, and the shipping room where Maddy works :D
(They're putting on a new roof)
Maddy was very excited to take them all over the place
and introduce them to all her friends!
Meeting Peter & Meeka
The actual recording studio they use for the Lamplighter audio drama's!!!
Here they are at Letchworth Park! It's quite beautiful!
Maddy's good friends, the Smith's, had them over for a BBQ!!
As they kept breaking the springs Peyton kept fixing them.
Norah brought out the ice cream!
Well, Norah ended up pulling him again!
It's a shame when swings only are fun for little people.
And we are at the Ford's! (No, we didn't just
stand around the net. We got several games in! :)
We all got a chance to milk the goats, something we don't get to do everyday! :D
Afterwards, balance practice on barrels!
Good job, Kassidy!!
Norah wanted to try......but it didn't go as well. Better luck next time!
Memorial Day Picnic with all the Lamplighter crew.
We were all so excited to see them and hear about their awesome trip and see all of their pictures, that we forgot to get pictures of their homecoming! :)
Norah found this teeny little guy out in the woods!
And the garden is finally looking picture worthy! After
all the hard work everyone has put into it it's about time!
Anna goofing around with Isaiah on selfie mode.
We didn't tell her that they were great pictures to end the blog post!!! :D
And it's out!!! Good job girl!
The lamb in the background was rejected by her mother, but adopted by this sweet ewe!
<3
Anna got these awesome pictures from the roof top.......
Did Mom know about this?
New York to
visit Maddy!
This is Havi's first plane ride.
Can't you tell she's excited?!?!?! :)
If you look very closely, you can see the Washington Monument behind the other plane's tail!
(They're putting on a new roof)
The Lamplighter chapel contains the book bindery, sound production room and offices.
and introduce them to all her friends!
They did get a bit wet.
We'll just keep adding people!
When you tell Mom and Dad to look happy!
There we go! I thought they would never get a good one! ;)

Mom and Maddy

She has the cutest smile! :)
Isaiah loved being pulled around on the hand truck!
He wasn't thrilled about pulling Norah! =)
Well, Norah ended up pulling him again!

Our neighbor was so sweet and brought over some pudding and whipped cream!!! :D We eat "good" when Mom and Dad are gone! ;)
