The Simple life.


A quick picture taken while on my morning walk.  A small creek right next to Dalans school.  Love the all the GREEN right now.  It makes me happy ; )


 We sure love Lulu.... the families baby goat.  She loves her bottle! 
 Best buds.  Lulu loves to jump around and "Maaaaa" at Dalan when he comes to play with her. 
 Let me introduce you to Mama(my sweet, mother-in-law, Alexis).  She is a woman of great talent when it comes to animals and gardening.  Look at her MASSIVE garden and there is still more that is not even seen in the picture.  Amazing right.  She sure has a green thumb.  I am learning so much from her as we weed and water together.  


 Over the river, railroads and through the orchards, to mama's house we go.  The kids LOVE walking to Mama's house.  We have to get all geared up for the farm when we go there.  
 Our church that is being built right next door.  Literally.  
 This is how Macie looks after the farm.  What you can't see is all the sand in her hair and her clothes are filthy.  She litereally rolls in the dirt and loves every second of it!  She is our "dirty monkey" as Dustin calls her.
 Dalan is the clean, germ free one.  This is how he looks after the farm ; )  you think it would be opposite.  Usually boys are the messy ones and girls are the clean the ones.  Nope, not for us.
We love taking walks through the orchard after feeding the goats

Love the pictures. How fun for you guys to be able to spend time on a farm with family. The kids look like they love it!!! I can't believe how big your kids are getting. Dalan is looking so much older and Maci looks a lot like you. You have such a beautiful fam:)

Cute pictures and blog post Lore! How funny that Macie is the dirty one after a visit to the farm and Dalan is the clean one. I never would have guessed that :)

That is so fun that you have a goat! We had one when I was little, to eat our blackberry bushes, and I was scared to death of it :) We miss you guys, hopefully we will be over there again soon and we will come visit!

Lore, I had to tell you that Jared and Allyson are the same way. Jared freaks if he gets dirty and Allyson figures the more dirty the better. Funny isn't it!
