Happy Birthday Gracie!

Yesterday was Gracie's 4th birthday! Wow, she is getting to be such a big girl. She is such a joy to have in the family... Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing. Gracie is such a good helper! She also loves to play and share with her little sister. I pray you have a very blessed next year Grace.. I pray you will continue to grow into a Godly young lady! ♥

Pretty flowers Grace!

What a sweet darling

Wonderful Mrs. B and her girls brought Gracie a little birthday cake. That was so nice! Thank you so much girls... It really meant a lot to Grace. Oh, and it was *very* good! :) 

BLTS For Lunch~

 I have been having fun cooking for the family this past week. The other day we made BLTS with homemade Mayonnaise and whole wheat bread. They were really good! Everyone enjoyed them very much.. Thank you boys for helping me with them. :)

The Boys enjoyed them! :)

We also made some homemade tomato, carrot soup

Yum! :)

Our Animals- :)

I have had a few people ask me what animals do we have on the farm. So, I have decided to introduce you to them all. :D

                                       

The Goats that have no names... :) They are hopefully both going to be having kids soon.

This is Suki my sweet little Doberman puppy. She is very friendly and loves to sit in your lap. I wonder what that will look like when she weighs 80 lbs! Suki loves all animals and children. It is funny when Lucy bosses her around! I thought it would be the opposite.. :)

Molly is the queen of the farm. She is such a clean and calm thing. We brought her with us from the states because we couldn't bear to leave her! She is a very good dog. She is a Cocker Spaniel.

Lucy is the silly one on the farm. She has a very funny personality and is always getting in trouble. Her favorite past time is laying in a hole dug out in the mud. She is an Italian Spinone mix.

Maya is Grant's kitty. She is very sweet and likes to sleep on my nice clean laundry.. :)

This is Gracie's cat Mittens.. She just loves Gracie and loves to be pet. She too, love sleeping on Laundry. :P

 Then we have the chickens.. I think we have about 25 or so..

And no, Ryan is not choking it! He was just fluffing up the feathers for the picture!! LOL..

                                

The "Cow" has been a blessing to share with the neighbors. It is wonderful to have the fresh milk to make yogurt and cheese with. Thank you "Cow"!

"Cow"s calf Daisy is very silly.. She loves to lick people and rub her head against you.

This is our neighbor's dog Ansel.. He keeps everything in order around here. Especially the puppies. :P

It has been nice to have the neighbors horses in our side of the field.. They are so beautiful and fun to play with. Ryan is becoming a little horseman and wants to start training with me. :) I love my "big" little brother! :) Grant too likes to help with the animals. They are both such blessings to me!

A Trip To Clarissa Falls

Last Sunday Dad, Ryan, Grant, Grace and I took a drive out to Clarissa Falls. It is such a beautiful drive out there! All the rolling green hills and grazing cattle. It was a very nice time to visit with each other and enjoy the nice weather. :)

The watch goose

The turkey was not very friendly either...

The Falls

See the little bug? :)

There were chickens all over the place! :)

The little cottages you can rent

Back to the States For Treatment-

Last Sat we put Mama, Mandy and Laura on an airplane back to the states for further medical teatment. It was very hard to see them go but, we PRAY the doctors can find some answers! We are not exactly when they will be back but, hopefully soon! We love you Mandy, Mama and baby Laura! ♥♥

Gracie and Laura wear their new matching dresses!

Saying bye to Mama and Laura
