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 [...]
Just your average weekend
It all started out as an average weekend. Johnny and Boone planned to finish the chicken/duck run and build a duck house. That was it. First: Lowe's and Tractor Supply. 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!
Meet Pumpkin! We surprised ourselves and the kids last night with our first family pet. After we moved to our new property which just under 3 acres, we decided we would most likely get a dog or two. Then some chickens, maybe a couple goats. The last animal we would ever consider? A cat. We [...]
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

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 [...]
Date night
Dixie almost didn’t let us leave for our hot date night. Yummy dinner and a fancy lavender iced tea served in a embossed glass with a pansy on top. J said looked like bathroom soap, which then made it then taste like bathroom soap. Afterwards things got reeeeeally sexy: Nordstrom Rack to buy P.E. shoes [...]
Here we go!
Okaaaaay...I've been asked to start a blog about 100x over the years, so here I am! I mean, Facebook and Instagram won't be around forever (hello, MySpace!) and I haven't scrapbooked since 2007, so why not have a more reliable, long-lasting avenue for documenting our life? A little bit about me, I was born and [...]
