December

Winter seems to be here to stay so now I can post these pictures I took at the end of November:

I love this one! 


Our Advent wreath:
with homemade beeswax candles. We (the 3 of us girls) hadn't made candles before, so this was a bit of an experiment... for the first few days they burned pretty good, but lately they aren't burning quite as well. We're thinking that we should have used bigger wick for this size of jar.  

Dad's new wheels!

The truck he bought earlier this year, came with a snowplow that we didn't need, so a couple weeks ago he sold both truck and plow. After quite a bit of looking we finally found this one! Looks sharp doesn't it! :) He'll be farming in style now! 



Laura took Ringo for a ride this morning. She got some over-sized stirrups this week so she can ride in her winter boots. Proud of the patience this girl has when working with Ringo- (a horse who wasn't broke when she started working with him.) 

Other news:
Mom is getting tax statements ready to go in the mail- the busy time of year of her treasurer job is just around the corner. 
Grace only has about a week left of  her first semester of college!

We've been doing some Christmas treat making around here :) Christmas is coming ready or not!

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
