He Says the Cutest Things

He says the cutest things...

The other day when as I was getting out the Ergo to take Judah on a night time walk he asked me who was going to take a ride in it. I told him that he was. He answered by telling me that when I get to be teeny like him and he gets to be big like me... He is going to give me rides in the Ergo!
Isn't he quite a nice little gentleman?

I love you Judah!

The Cider Squeeze

Howdy Folks!

Here's a post that was supposed to be posted long ago, but we are just now getting around to doing it... Farm Life can get busy! Just this past September we went to the annual Cider Squeeze held at Philip Foster Farm. It is an event we enjoy going to and do not want to miss out on! This year we all dressed up matching. Then men were in their Carhartts and the ladies in their tiered skirts. Which we made! We squeezed our own Apple Cider from apples which we picked from our apple trees. At the end of this post is a little movie we put together with little clips of the event so you all can get a glimpse of the festivities. Maybe we'll see you there next year! Enjoy the pictures!

Jordan was able to get a load of the apple pulp for our garden and chickens-




What happens when De-De has the camera-









Sisters-


Straining the Cider-





Judah and his friend Phillip-


When there was a break in the action Tabitha, Eden, Melody, Bip, and I all took a tour through Philip Foster's cabin. We enjoyed taking some pictures of historical poses until we got caught up in a tour with a history buff who nearly had us believing he was the real Philip Foster... but then it does take awhile to fool a bunch of home schooled kids who do know their history. :)



Tabitha, De-De, & Bip-


Books: The Bible, "Indian Massacres", and "Gospel Hymns".






Judah & Melody-





Judah Philip: Our Little Cowboy!






Shiloh, Gwennie, Bethany, & Eden-


All of us girls with our Mommy :)

We love you, Mommy!

Weekend Wisdom

Greetings Everyone...

Last night we were blessed to attend a special presentation by a Pastor from Australia. The presentation was on the validity of the King James Bible and it was fantastic. May we share a bit of wisdom from that completely trustworthy version of the Bible. In a time when all we hear about is pandemic illnesses... job losses... dollar bills failing... earthquakes... famine... and wars and rumors of wars.... there is one sure true Word from our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ....
"Heaven and Earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away." Luke 21:33 PLEASE READ YOUR KING JAMES BIBLE! This is part of Weekend Wisdom. God bless your weekend!

Is Christmas Already Here?

Today I peeked around a corner in our house and was quite surprised to see what I thought to be an elf! Is it Christmas time already? Hmmmm, I'm not sure, but I really wanted a picture of that little elf!

So here they are...
Now let's see if I can get a smile!

No, not quite... Try again.


Okay, now your being silly. Please.... just one smile?!

Oh, no, that's not exactly what I mean. You know, smile, smile, smile!

WOW! That's really not my definition of a smile, but I guess it will have to do!

Well, alright! You can go back to playing with your trains! I'll see if I can get that coveted smile next time!

Well... I hope you've enjoyed these pictures as much as I have! Be sure to let me know what you think!
