 Straw bales

 

 

Hope you are all having a great fall!!  We are busy chopping corn.  Maybe tomorrow we can try and get some pictures of the gang out working!!

Graduation

sorry I haven't been keeping this updated very well.... life with 7 children and a farm keeps me very busy.  This past weekend we had an open house for our oldest daughter, she graduated this year!   It was really nice getting to see a lot of our family and friends!  Come, Monday morning we were back in the full swing of farming though.....  as I write the guys are out baling hay!  That left the girls to get the 2 new heifers out of the pasture......  there isn't any job to big or dirty for our girls......

Now the problem is that we somehow have to make her cover-up white again.....  

Visiting

This past week I went and visited my Grandfather.  I really enjoyed spending time with him.  He is 95 years young!  It was really special seeing his face light up when he saw the little girls!  I thought I would share a few pictures of our time together! 

We love you Grandpa!!

Facebook

You can now follow us on facebook too.  Look for us at Around the Farm!!  We are going to try and keep both going with something different on both!

Robots....

Today my hubby and son went for a little ride.  They went to check out some robotic milking machines.....  They both came home ready to sit down with a spread sheet to see if it is something for us.  As farmers, there is always something new to see or do around the farm.  I think that is part of the reason we love what we do!  You never get bored of what you do that way!!!  Hope you all are staying warm!!

Grrrr

Sorry for not posting lately... I have been having trouble getting my photos to upload again.....  I did get them to work on our Face Book page.  You are welcome to find us on there!  You will find us at Around The Farm!  Looking forward to seeing you over there!  I will keep trying to get some my pictures to work, but in the mean time enjoy!!!

Happy New Year

We brought in the new year here with some friends!  We had a lot of fun eating food, playing games, and the kids all went out after midnight for a snowball fight!  Everyone had a ball!!  We didn't even have any complaints at 4:30 this morning when it was time to go out to the barn! 
May you all have a great year!  Happy 2013 from all of here around the farm!
