Today is Sunday and it is turning out to be one of those lazy Sunday’s that I love and crave. It seems like the craziness of back to school and junior high football combined with everything we have going on at home, I long for lazy Sunday’s even more. So while my to do list…… Continue reading Stirring Things Up

Well we have survived our first 3 days back at school.  Cole is loving Junior High.  He is especially proud of the fact that he has only been locked out of his locker once!  He loves going from class to class and can’t wait for football to start.  We will revisit this once the running…… Continue reading School Days Daze

We are approaching the start of a new school year, and with that comes a fresh, new set of anxieties that I am trying to deal with.  Cade is dealing with his anxiety about a new school year also. Our anxiety comes from a variety of variables.  For me, I want to make sure I…… Continue reading Back to School

We got home from Alaska and jumped right back into country life. Sweet corn was ready and it was time to freeze some for the year. It’s always a long, hard job, but one that is so rewarding. Cole and Brent went and picked a couple hundred ears of corn (179 according to Cole). That…… Continue reading Sweet Corn

The time for our Make-a-Wish trip was finally here. Still recovering from fair, we made our way east to Omaha. First of all, I need to tell you all again how wonderful an organization that Make-A-Wish is. When they say they want to give you some time to just be a normal family, they really…… Continue reading The Big Trip

This week is fair week. And fair week isn’t for the faint of heart. There are chores to be done, animals to groom and show, and projects to be completed. Thursday was a day of mostly good things. Cade was able to show his calf and did really well. He was so excited and proud…… Continue reading Fair Week Isn’t for the Faint of Heart

I didn’t cry so everything went off without a hitch. This post is going to be pictures and videos so not a lot of reading!! It’s too hot here for me to worry about words. The other calves weren’t quite sure of our set up but Ginger was plenty used to the wheelchair. Ended the…… Continue reading Show Day!

Yesterday, I fell asleep on the couch while Brent was watching a hunting show.  I love hunting with him but I cannot seem to stay awake if he turns on a hunting show.  But in the midst of my nap, God opened my ears to hear this statement:  “Good things become bad things when they…… Continue reading Fair Week

This week has been all about celebrations.  America celebrated Independence Day this week and we celebrated a big wish for Cade. And then I started thinking about independence and what that means to me now.  You see, when I was younger, I thought that independence would me total freedom from needing or being tied to…… Continue reading Independence Day

Things are picking up here on the farm. Everyday there is work to be done. For the most part Cade is like any other farm kid. Everyday he has chores to do. He gets up in the morning and does his chicken chores. He goes out to the pen and checks their feed and water.…… Continue reading Sunny Farm Living Days
