Snow and kids!

We’ve had our first official measurable snowfall for this season.  We received about 4 inches Tuesday night and bit more on Wednesday.  It seems like fall was  splendid but it never stays around long enough.  The boys took full advantage of a snow covered hill and wore the snow right off it…

Part of the boys coming down the hill. Zayne is all grins!

Whoa, a bit of turning. Zayne’s still smiling though!

Big CRASH!! Not sure that he is still smiling!

Face-plant and kind of cold.

Teigen’s turn.

Whoa!!

CRASH!! Yep that’s just his head, the rest of him is buried under the snow.

Hayden,doing a bit of standing on his sled.

CRASH!!

And of course, Kletta has to chase them down the hill…

We celebrated the day and enjoyed hot cocoa, hot apple cider and had warm, home-made rolls with cream of potato soup for supper.  It doesn’t get much better than this!

Little Boys…

Been super busy lately!  We are almost finished with lambing and only have nine ewes left.  I will have to update my blog soon with all that’s been going on.  Here’s a few pictures of my little rambunctious boys.

Woo-hoo!!

Mens Work?

The guys have been hard at work hauling hay all weekend.  Last night was the last load until  next cutting.  Since they arrived home so late and still hadn’t eaten supper they decided that Sawyer would just unload the hay this morning.  Coming back from my walk I seen this…

Day at the Lake…

Finally we have hot weather in NW Montana, so we decided to head to the lake for a  picnic and a cool dip.
I made these yummy pizza rolls to take with, a nice break from sandwiches!

I have to admit  I was a bit stressed about being alone with the crew around water but Sawyer, Tori, and Maddie all took turns helping me watch the little ones.  We ended up having a wonderful time and got to cool off a bit.   

Poor Tori though she ended up having a hitch-hiker attack to her leg.  I’m pretty sure the people cleeeaaar across the lake could hear her scream!  Luckily it was just a little one …  

Tori's little "friend" Leechy!

 Other than that small drama we all survived and even stopped in for fudge-cicles on the way home.
