The kids and I spent a perfect, crisp Colorado morning enjoying the start of our favorite season with some of our favorite friends at an apple farm! We knew going into it that the U-Pick wasn’t pickable due to an early freeze, but our hearts were set on apple cider donuts. Turns out the bakery [...]
I’m hoping one of the boys gets a job there solely for a discount!
The baby ducklings that we incubated and hatched were just introduced to the pond and welcomed by their mamas! Lots of happy duckling noises over here these days. We sheared the sheep! And be “we” I mean Johnny had help from Uncle Jim and neighbor Jason. The turkeys are getting HUGE! They are very gentle [...]
I don’t even care that they made a huge mess and burnt the pan because I didn’t have to lift a finger to help. Nor am I allowed to clean the kitchen! These kids are the best! While I was in the shower, Lincoln yelled through the closed door, “Can Boone and I make homemade [...]
The big four spent a week with Uncle Jim and Aunt Peggy who spoiled them rotten! They then took them swimming at the local hot springs pool. They didn’t want to come home! This girl loves her chickens. She carries them around like dolls and they let her! We had to pick up a few [...]
It’s another one of those times when I realized I haven’t blogged in awhile. Let me try and catch up with a little photo memory dump of the past few months... Merry Christmas 2020! Post Christmas snuggles with Papa! What a magical day! Perfect weather and exquisite views of the Royal Gorge. Cheesin’ Someone doesn’t [...]
Summer might be over, but you bet we will soak up the rest of these 70° days with neighbors, friends and family! Crosby helping dad build the sheep’s “pen-demic.” Neighbor/Auntie lets Lincoln come help with the goats often. Trying to get someone excited for our Sunday morning walk...he currently wants to be carried everywhere. We [...]
Second day of school photos, because I forgot yesterday. We are praising God daily that He called us to homeschool. Johnny has been so encouraging and helpful. Before he leaves for work, he jots down cute notes for us on the wipe off board. I could not imagine doing any of this without his support! [...]
Chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, opening presents, playing in the bathtub with his new LEGO submariner! This is NINE! I wanted to make note of your wishlist because it made me smile. Added later: whoopee cushion, nerf gun and a Hydro Flask. Stay small, k? After eating (surprise surprise) Panda Express for lunch, delivered by [...]
Grandma and Grandpa recently bought a super glam motor-coach! When they invited us for a week long trip in the glorious aspen forests to break it we just couldn’t say no! The boys pitched a tent while Johnny, Dixie and I lived in the lap of glamping luxury. No clue how many rounds of War [...]
