Making Everyday Beautiful

 this weeks simple things:

We’re at my parents farm this weekend and the kids have had lots of fun playing with their cousins despite some icky weather. I think Carson has especially enjoyed playing with his little cousin Jaxson. He’s like the little brother he always wanted and being the only two grandsons on my side of the family amidst 7 girls they’ve realized quickly they’re going to have to stick together. 😉

Of course the highlight of any trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s farm is getting to go out with Grandpa to feed the cows.


Some people found it humorous that I nearly stepped in a fresh cow pie in my quest for a few photos!
Looking at these pictures brings back so many memories of feeding the cows with my dad in the farm truck lovingly named Old Blue. 
It may have been a cold, rainy weekend but we still managed to have a little bit of fun, spend time with family and make some really great memories in the process! 🙂

    my children so adore going to my grandmother’s old farm as well. My son loves to play with his (boy) cousin who we never get to see. Else-wise he is surrounded by girls in these part!

    I didn’t know you grew up on a farm – it’s a great life, isn’t it? For kids especially — now we know why you turned out so well. 🙂

    Love the photos — hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday. Thanks for hosting.

    I love the farm pictures! Such vivid colors, yet it seems so timeless. The last one of the little black calf watching you is really neat.

    I love your shots of the farm. I especially like the picture of the cow with his mouth full of straw looking straight at you. Thank you for hosting.

    I loved your blog before, but this new header is oh so lovely. I’m trying to remember the jewelry store you featured once that made little silver bunting necklaces, do you remember the name? I know it’s too late for Mother’s Day but I may just treat myself this year 🙂

    I use Windows Live Writer and do not know how to insert the photo challenge thumbnail and link to my posts. Is it okay if I link back to your site via text instead?
