While we were in Disney World, we decided it was time to do something we’d never done before. The Wild Africa Trek! Indigo and Jade were too young, so while we were doing it, they went off and toured Animal Kingdom with some of Grandma’s friends. I can honestly say that this is one of […]
Do you hate paying taxes? You’ll love this! Brett wrote and performed this parody of the song, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?” from Disney’s Oscar-Winning animated film, Frozen, that we can all relate to. Please like, share, comment on and generally promote this video if you love to see hard working youth using their […]
One morning the two little girls climbed into bed with Dad, wanting some snuggle time before they had to get ready for the day. At some point, they started talking about how Jade has bangs and Indigo doesn’t. Jade said, “Indigo wants to have bangs.” Dad said, “Well, bangs look good on Jade, and no […]
Here on the Goat Milk Stuff farm, we got a lot of snow this winter. A couple of months ago, it was particularly nasty. There were 3-4 inches of snow that had frozen completely solid, a sheet of ice on top making it almost impossible to walk anywhere. Fortunately, the next day it snowed again, […]
Since it’s been so cold for the past couple of weeks, our creek is frozen solid. (Yes, completely solid.) So the kids decided that they wanted to have a little fun. What started as tossing an empty water bottle around on the ice turned into ice hockey, using an old water bottle and some sticks. […]
Brett turned 17 two months ago. I’d like to say that we celebrated it right on time. But… ummm… well… We didn’t. We just celebrated her birthday this week. Don’t get me wrong. We sang Happy Birthday to her on her actual birthday. But then we piled into the Beast and headed to […]
Brett is one of the most amazing young ladies I have ever met. Yes, I’m her mom. And yes, I’m biased. But it is still true. Just watch this short video if you don’t believe me! I have loved watching her mature and grow, and develop her own opinions and thoughts. Listening to her in […]
All of the videos we have been recording lately have provided lots of material for bloopers. I didn’t even realize they had some of this stuff on tape, but it’s pretty funny. Which is your favorite blooper?
It’s that time of year again. Time to list all of the things that happened in 2013 that we are thankful for. Our new house Our new barn The dogs (Thor and Baxter) The soaproom New rabbits Baby rabbits Chickens and Fresh eggs That God is with us Christmas party with friends NMX trip to […]
Several years ago, we put together this Christmas video. It’s a little “rough”, but it makes me laugh and smile every time I watch it. I hope it brings some holiday cheer to your life!
Christmas is a celebration of the greatest gift ever given to mankind – Jesus! We celebrate this gift by giving our time, talent, and stuff; but we also celebrate by loving each other through our favorite activities. As one of our 25 Holiday events, we watched “Miracle on 34th Street” with the children. In the movie, […]
It’s Greyden’s Golden Birthday – he turned eleven on the eleventh! We were able to enjoy our birthday tradition of breakfast birthday cake and hugs from every member of the family. Brett’s hug for Greyden is always extra exuberant. Because he was born on the 11th and she was born on the 13th, he came home […]
We generally don’t make a big fuss about birthdays around here, but we do have several traditions that are important to us. One of our birthday traditions is to start the day with Breakfast Birthday Cake. Emery has been trained to safely cook, and usually volunteers to make it the day before it is needed. We usually make […]
This is the first year in our new house and the children had their heart set on a HUGE tree. So we went to a local tree farm where we first found a huge pile of geodes. We took a hay wagon ride to the field. And started looking at trees. Indigo kept picking out […]
We were blessed to be invaded by family this Thanksgiving! Since there were quite a few extra children, Jim decided that all of the cousins were going to need some indoor activities to keep them occupied when they weren’t outside. He planned ahead and surprised everybody with a pool table and Foosball table! Fortunately Poppy […]
