I got to help in Justin’s class but didn’t take any pictures of him?? All the kids had fun, Emma was a southern belle.
Claire got to have Mrs. Fuchs famous “witches brew” It is always so cute!
That’s a lot of kindergartners!
This is Claire’s BFF Malia.
Claire was Draculaura and a little black witch too. Justin was a ninja second year in a row, and Ashley was some kind of nerdy pre teen?
I even put on a little make up and went as a scarecrow. The kinders said I wasn’t scary though?!
Ryan and I have secretly been talking about a dog for a while, well Ryan has been trying to convince me to get a dog ever since Bella died. We have so many critters outside, like skunks, raccoons, etc, we are hoping he will help keep them out! That was my logical thinking. I just know a puppy is a lot of work and Im pretty sure it will land as my responsibility. And it has!
But the kids are happy, and he is a super cute pup. He is called a corgi. It is a new breed of dog, only 11 years old. It basically will look like a collie wiener dog when it is full grown, but bigger. He does have short legs and kind of a long barrel middle.
He will look something like this, of course not as well groomed, and he has a tail, and not long haired.
Of course the heat lamp light burned out when we were putting him in the chicken coop for the night, so guess where he is living until I go to the co-op to get one!
We have gone outside today and he is much happier out there so everyone cant feel too bad when I kick him out tomorrow!
I have a lot of hopes for this puppy Mack, like not chasing cars, running to the neighbors, eating chickens, cats, etc. Wish us luck!
Now that the farming has wrapped up the ranching gets into full swing from being neglected most of the year! We have moved cows more this month than we have all summer! We always enjoy a chance to all work together. The kids were in school this morning and were sad to miss the cattle drive. Rett didn’t miss it though.
Funny Boy!
Rett rarely takes a Sunday nap, but I guess he decided to climb in with me and his Dad last week. Ryan must not have been asleep yet and caught us snoozing!
I can sleep with one ear open, and heard that camera and woke up, Ryan wasn’t happy that I did. But a girl has to know when her picture is being taken!
I wanted to run this race all summer long, but when it got cold I wanted to change my mind! I went ahead and signed up, but didn’t run like I should have at home and finished how I figured I would finish. It was a nice day, I have no excuses other than I just didn’t practice enough! I am happy to hang up my running shoes until next year when the weather is warm!
Deanna, Me, Bree, and her mom Becky. A couple of friends all from Richfield.
We did not have even one pumpkin grow this year in our garden? So we have needed a trip to the pumpkin patch for quite a while. Rett had fallen asleep and didn’t fully wake up until it was time to go, and then he didn’t want to leave because he hadn’t had any fun yet! At least he did find a wagon his size.
He and Justin got it loaded up.
Thankfully Claire likes small ones, they were 8 dollars for a nice carving pumpkin!! I had better try harder next year to grow my own! Who knew the value!
Fun times!
Ash and Emma got going on the makeup and hair before a Halloween birthday party they went to. They are going to love these pictures when they are older!!
Silly girls!
Justin has been learning about the clouds, it is pretty fun to be around him outside and have him tell me what kind of clouds are in the sky.
His parent teacher conference report was great, he is a super math wiz! Im not surprised, and really glad he takes after his dad in that department!
I ran down to ride with Ryan one last time. We had 24 rows left to dig when we ran out of time for the night. I left the kids home and drove down by myself. It was kind of fun, the diggers were rolling so fast, it was fantastic!
Happy of end of harvest!
I went to make Claire’s bed and found a little trick for the tooth fairy. She had mentioned something about finding some “teeth” out in the sandbox. I guess she was going to see if she could make some extra cash!?
Good thing our tooth fairy isn’t easily tricked!
Claire stayed up late to work on her Christmas list tonight. Number 1. BARBIE
I love that she is ALL girl!
To say we are getting a little excited for Christmas would be an understatement! Emma had Christmas music on last night when the neighbor stopped by. I am sure he already knows that I am a crazy lady, but still! 2 more months!!
