My mom, a country farm girl…

It is always fun to go home to Kansas and enjoy the wide open spaces. My parents live on 40 acres so there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the fresh air.

Throughout the years, we have had at some point and time, pigs, goats, sheep, cows, chickens, ponies,horses, cats and dogs. Right now the farm count is 3 chickens, 2 cats, and a dog. Micali and Eli totally loved chasing the chickens around the yard. Eli even treed a cat all by himself. I don’t think he was being very nice to it.

My mom is an amazing dutch oven master and loves making food over the fire. The grandkids love hotdog roasts and smores while she has the fire going.

Over Thanksgiving we were able to get these pictures of my parents on the 4-wheeler. They make me smile. They are still so young at heart and I am sure totally enjoyed their turn to have a ride.
