Life on the farm

We've been waiting for Dusty, Austin & Noah to return from a weekend of backpacking. Life on the farm is a little harder without all the help! I mowed the lawn this weekend, well I should say I mowed half of the lawn this weekend, a sudden allergic reaction kicked in and my mowing was brought to a sudden halt! You should have seen how cute I was, really sexy...sweaty, red, itchy, and starting to swell in the eyes. CUTE huh?? Just Keepin' it real! (In the words of the Pioneer Woman)
We have a HUGE lawn, 18,000 sq.ft. to be exact, no that's not a typo. It takes about 2 hours a week to mow.

Josiah has been by my side all weekend helping me feed the chickens, collect the eggs, make the bottles for the calf, feed the calf AKA Tri-Tip, bring in the trash cans (which is NOT close to the house), harvest food from the garden & take care of his sisters!

Siah very fond of Kaianah, he tells me daily how much he loves her. "Mom, I'm always going to love her and protect her, she's just so cute, and I'm going to miss her when she get's married."
Those are Siah exact words.

We brought some eggs to the neighbor today...this is what he brought us!! Here's a picture.


BELL PEPPERS!!
And LOTS of them...Josiah and I had fun making a circle with them. We are working on shapes in school, so it was a perfect learning experience.

Josiah and I decided to make some cookies as a surprise for the boys when they return, while we are waiting for the cookies to bake we decided to watch Ratatouille, a movie by Disney. How appropriate, since it's a movie about cooking! :)
Then we got silly with the camera...
Kiss face
Here's the cookies we made, yummy!
