Molasses mustache! yum! 

my little monkey boy, eating a banana! 

BA NANA MAN! :-)

Rainbow in some deep "do do" quite literally!

brilliant dog on/in the manure pit 

trying to call her out

"what? swim to you? I think not"

trying another way

come here!

"Don't shake"

she listened well

such a caring farmer! 

yeah this post should defiantly get some "ew"s "haha"s and plain old "nasty"

little boy + mud puddle = Love at first splash!

I guess one calls that a puddle looks more like a pond next to him!

What kind of a mother would I be not to let my son enjoy a natural thing like playing in the puddle? He was having so much fun! plus I had my camera handy! all I can say is I am glad he did not fall in it :) He is already a really good runner! our weather has been so weird, Cold one day and Hot the next these were taken the end of Jan. that same week I took the pictures where he is all bundled in hat and Jacket getting eggs and looking up at me in the field.

Gathering eggs from the Egg Mobile

This is what happens when you forget a basket :-)

loving life on the farm

looks like daddy is too! 

I am loving life on the farm, but what I really love are my cowboys! they make my Life truly blessed and full of excitement. I am a little spoiled though, yesterday Nathan and Ezekiel went on delivery and I stayed home to clean, I missed them way too much and they were only gone for a few hours. words really can't express how thankful I am for my family! I am blessed to have it growing too! looking forward to see if Ezekiel gets a little brother or little sister in April!

working to remove some dangerous barb wire and posts in field

Stopping to smell the "bushes"

cleaning up

it is getting hard to look down and see my handsome boy.

making it safe for his "girls"

hopefully we can improve the land

love this shot he looks like such a cowboy! 

black berry bushes make up more of the fences then wire...

The shiny thing is our egg mobile.

What you don't see in these pictures is the 7 houses surrounding ours. I just choose to look out these couple windows and see a beautiful site rather than peoples living quarters. the sun was setting over the mountain giving perfect lighting to make everything look esp. pretty!

The move... can we just say EXHAUSTED!

So we finally moved the last of the house stuff last night or should I say this morning at 1am... of course it was our bed, so I had to make it before falling in to bed. today I worked on unpacking the kitchen and some of the other stuff, but the kitchen was my main focus. the picture with boxes in the kitchen does not show the full extent of it. I unpacked 22 boxes of kitchen stuff today, made dinner and washed dishes, and now want someone to visit me in my new home! well let me finish finding the rest of my life but hey not bad for the first full day here.
