Life Update From Johnny

Sixteen
And just like that, we have a new driver. “Just wait until the teenage years” was often said to me with a derogatory tone. It implied that I would only have a few sweet years while my babies turned to children before those dreaded teenage years. I can respectfully respond to that now with a [...]
End Of Summer In Sight
Summer break is over, the grass is beginning to brown, and we just spotted a few of our Aspen leaves changing color. Come on fall colors, we’re ready for you! Crosby’s going to have to get used to wearing clothes again soon. It was chicken processing day this past week. At one point Johnny glanced [...]
Summertime Shenanigans
First things first: go pee on a tree, take a seat and watch everyone else set up camp. #youngestchild Everywhere she goes, she finds wildflowers and brings them to me to stick in water. We had the most beautiful centerpieces all week! I love this phase of her life and never want it to end. [...]
Gillespie Farm Animal Update
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 [...]

Everybody loaded up, masks and bandanas in hand. After the necessities were collected, a drive thru Freddy's Frozen Custard run was in order. It was [...]
Hey there, Pumpkin!

Wednesday ramblings
This morning the fridge broke, but it’s cool cause the new pretty one comes on Friday. Johnny is working in Breckenridge and just scored a super expensive wish list item of mine BIG TIME near a dumpster (rich people throw the best stuff away...stay tuned). Anyway, I’m still annoyed that he’s there without me. He [...]
mommy time
Bruises from packing. Desperate for a manicure. Stalking my DoorDash driver as the hubs manages kids and bedtime. Busy weekend down with a crazy week to come!

It was SUCH a blessing being invited to stay with my parents during this whole house listing extravaganza! We are so grateful to be able to enjoy this beautiful backyard oasis for the next 8 weeks until the big move. Nights like this the kids will remember forever. Playing catch, dancing around the fire pit [...]
