Christmas Tree Hunting

As we all know, I am way behind on posting, but, I still want to get the pictures from our holiday season up! Here are some pictures of when we went Christmas tree hunting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone that knows me knows that I am NOT a person who likes their picture taken, but, the background in this one is pretty.... Just kidding, everybody knows it is Timmy that makes this picture tolerable! ;)

Loaded in a spare cart and ready for hunting!

Of course in a giant field of Christmas trees sitting in a cart DOESN'T last long!

Eventually, they get out and make.... snow angels!!

Cheese!!

Racing to check out a tree!

Beth and "sleeping" Hannah ;)

Walking in the fields with Hannah and Noelle

All smiles on our hunt!!

And then, THE ONE!!

Ummmm.... is it gonna fit on the cart??

Making our tree a little more manageable!

Space-saving tree

Just kidding ;) Our tree is a little over 9 feet this year!

And of course you just have to smell that piney scent!

Merry Christmas, Lindsey

Tis a New Season!

As I looked back at my last posts, I could not believe just how much has gone unposted!! I will do some re-cap posts to catch everybody up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With winter coming we were able to re-arrange our porch and add some much-needed coat hooks because 5 coat hooks in our kitchen wasn't cutting it. Now our entire porch is our "mudroom"!!!

I wasn't sure where this picture would fit in, but its one of my absolute favorites and I just decided to stick it here!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gone are the days of harvest.....

and hues of bright colors....

and hunting....

Now we welcome winter ;)

Lindsey and Cainey

Sadly, last Friday our horse had to leave and got to a new home due to her injury and her sometimes naughty behavior while we were riding or working with her. It was a VERY hard decision to make, but ultimately I think it was the best one and even though it was really hard for her to go (and it still it lonely without her), maybe someday we will own a horse we can use. So anyway, here are some pictures of Cainey and I before her departure.

I will miss you Cainey!!

(photo credit goes to my brother, Chris!)

I will be posting more very soon, I promise it won't be a month!!
