Happy New Year!

Well we surrived 2010. We had many ups and downs with our biggest being the barn fire that happened one year ago on January 6th, but I always believed after that...the year could only get better, and it did. We made many new friends and got to spend quality time with our old friends. I ended my long run on PTO board at the kids school and now can just enjoy volunteering when I want to or I can just go in and hang out with my kids.

My four kids still amaze me and I still can't believe I was blessed to be their mom.

We lost our dog Mcgee to old age...(14 years old)

My husband the farmer still surprises me with his crazy ideas...which his mom warned me about .... about 20 years ago. I know she is in heaven saying I told you so, but I know she wouldn't have it anyother way.

I always try to look at the positive side of things...so this year we all have grown as a family and as farmers! I never try to imagine what I will be doing in 10 years, because as long as I have Chris by my side, my kids and my friends...I know things are going to be just right! Besides living with Chris one never knows what we will be doing in TEN years...but I am pretty sure it involves muddy boots and more animals!

I wish everyone a Happy New Year and I am hoping to make a difference this year!

ps. I forogt to mention another huge event in 2010 -- Farmer Chris started a blog...so now there is proof I don't make this crazy farmer up!



Happy Fathers Day....to the greatest father!

With having a farmer as a daddy our kids get the joy of spending time with Daddy all of the time!

I feel like most of the time they appreciate that they can go with Chris everyday over the summer -- especially Jackson who loves helping dad and grandpa T.  I am not saying that all of them are standing in line by the door waiting...but sometimes even Jorja May our 3 year old cries when daddy can't take her.

This Sunday Grandpa T did the morning chores, so we got to spend a couple hours in the park --- just enjoying our time with the kids.

Aww - this is at a park in Three Rivers!

Then we drove to the farm...

We found out our 2 month old Chocolate lab is not afraid of pigs - or electric fences...and I think they actually liked playing with him.  But after three of them came up on him, I decided it was enough.

Then he watched how they layed in the mud to cool off -- it is a little muddy by the water bucket....so Jones had to join in the fun...

He was covered in mud...and loved it!

I didn't get any pictures of us chasing baby Turkeys around...apparently Mom left the turkey coop open after feeding them and when we returned up to that part of the farm...they were running everywhere -- but we had fun hearding them back in!

We hope you had a wonderful Fathers Day and got to stop and remember what it is all about!

Have a great week!

New beginnings on the farm and at home...

Introducing.... Jones Hebron... chocolate lab... about 6 weeks old!  We call him Jonesy for short!

We picked him out on Mother's Day and Chris and his dad went and picked him up on Saturday... we are all in love.  He loves chasing the sheep and being at the Farm -- which excites Chris, but I am not ready to let him go everyday!

New baby lamb born last Thursday... cute as can be!

We spent Saturday with Chris doing the chores and introducing Jones to all of the animals!  Mom got to drive...lots of sad boys!

This is Jorja May and I talking to the pigs and feeding them some bread! 

We are all enjoying our new puppy and the last couple of weeks of school.  That means dad will have an additional helper on the farm --- aka Jackson!

Have a great week!
