Bath tub fun for Christmas

Snow Fort

Gram and Pop in Stockton bought us all block
makers and we got busy

Gram managed to find packable snow under all the

feathery snow that was falling.

We used water to wet some areas so it freezes

stiff overnight and perhaps we'll have a chance to

add to it with packable snow.

Santa came

Our stockings were filled

We left Santa 3 cookies and he ate 2 and a bite out of the third

and he helped himself to the milk in the fridge, as our note to him

suggested. Tristen and Bo even left Santa a gift from each of them.

Tristen's pile

Bo's pile

The pile for Tristen and Bo to share

No picture just GREAT news!!!!!

We have been in prayer for months to be able to quit milking before the snow flies and working on finding a new job to replace the income of the farm. We were blessed by GOD and his faithfulness with Fred being hired at Doc's Excavating on October 12,2009. We are now in the process of dispersing the cows in a couple weeks or if possible by local dairy farmers expanding their herd with some of ours, time will tell. We are happy to know that we are following God's will for our lives because the Bible says in 1 John 5: 14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him.

PRAISE GOD A THOUSAND TIMES OVER FOR HIS GRACE, MERCY AND FAITHFULNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRED AND JESSICA

Finally found the perfect place for these two to be!!

Gram and Pop in Stockton wanted to celebrate Bo's 4th

birthday their way so we went to Chuck E. Cheese's in Rkfd.

Gram and Bo :)

Still under construction....

In the beginning, there was dark tar paper and then came
sheets of lathe.

and then there was daylight and the mortar was applied

as chores allowed.

we've waited weeks and now we have stone going on and staying on.

Bo and daddy are quite the masons.

Our experience

We arrived when one bus was leaving and this is the 2nd bus.

From the bus window, driving up to the drop off

for spectators.

We found out upon closer spectating that they were digging

a 9 foot deep pond.

We finally arrived.

The fire dept was called to spray water to keep the dust

settled.

Unloading hay

We had a great day for this

Lots of help

Summer walking group

Beautiful new entrance done as an Eagle Scout project.

We were welcomed to the park by its residents.

Fun on the bales

Cousin Adelle(from New Orleans) helping Bo up another level higher

Up close

She did finally get up and Bo darted away.

This specific cow is very different. She stands in the stanchion

with her front feet/legs crossed every time.

Water Action

Time to get out and dry off

Bo peeking

Swimming in the cow tank

Is it cold?

Tristen playing T-ball

Gram and Pop walking with Tristen after his game.

Each team congratulating on a game well played.

Made it to 1st base! Tristen did real well this game

hustling to get the ball while in the field after the opposing team

hit it.
