Christmas Trees 2021

Saturday we headed to a Christmas tree farm in Center to look for a tree. This year Emory found the tree and Cason cut it down and hauled it out. 

Once cut the tree stood 9.5 feet tall. 

And many hours later.....our big Christmas tree! 

The boys decorated their tree with a little help. Cason also decided to string a stand of lights up in their room! They both love how it turned out. 

The Hallmark ornament tree. 

Emory's tree that she decorated all by herself. She did a really good job! 

Fall 2021 Pictures

Saturday we were able to get a few pictures in the pretty fall foliage and Cason wanted to take some in the new livestock trailer!

Kindergarten Turkey Disguise

 Eli's class was tasked with disguising turkeys this week, with hopes they make it passed Thanksgiving not on someone's dinner table. 

Eli chose to disguise his turkey as a hay bale. 

 

Fictional Character Day

A couple of weeks ago the kids had Fictional Character Day at school. Let me introduce to you Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, & Anne of Green Gables. 

FBC Fall Fest

The Wednesday before Halloween was Fall Fest at church. Eli went as a chicken farmer and Cason as Bradley. Emory didn't dress up officially, but unofficially she is a pumpkin. My other two children wanted to be in the picture as well, the refused to leave. 

My little chicken farmer! 

Cason choose a squash over candy at one of the trunk or treats! 

We had lots of fun with friends!!

PWF 2021

The Piney Woods Fair was a few weeks ago. Emory showed chickens and her lamb Mac and Cason showed chickens and his goat Sasquatch. Eli participated in goat Peewee showmanship all by himself! 

Cason bid on a hog trap, but he got out bid at the Ag Mech sale. We were able to buy a deer stand at the sale though! 

Eli bid on these chairs, but he too was out bid. He was just excited to write his name on the bid sheet. 

The new deer stand! 

Both Emory and Cason made the premium sale with their chickens/goat/lamb. 

Eli showing Sasquatch during Peewee showmanship! He did a great job. 

Cason and Emory in the ring during the premium sale. 

The premium sale was long and Eli didn't quite make it to the end! 

We didn't win any banners or buckles this year at the fair, but both kids did a great job and had lots of fun! We also were very fortunate to have all 4 animals make the sale and the kids each earned a lot of money for their college fund!
