freckle face farm pig roast [2015]

This was the third annual Pig Roast at Freckle Face Farm.  I had to miss the second one, but have been there for the last two.  It is always a good time...and some yummy food of course!  

A storm rolled in and we had to hurry and clean things up and wait it out...

I don't think I saw Ryder but 2 times the whole time we were there because he was off playing with all "the friends"...Dawson puts this on every Spring, but we also somewhat celebrated the graduation of his younger brother Cooper who will be headed off to college...SOON!  So proud of him!

trip to freckle face farm

We made a couple trips out to Freckle Face Farm this past week!  I went to yoga with my aunt while R got to hang out with the boys...and then we brought Karleigh home with us for a few days!

 Ready to roll!!

R loves to help gather eggs! 

Baby chicks!!! 

 Farm fresh....literally!

I even snuck a few snuggles in!  These are rare these days...especially with so many fun cousins running around! 

Sadly the pigs won't let me too close to them... 

Watching a movie very intently...three of them were.  R just doesn't do movies, but he sure does try!!  (Kinda like his Mama!)

Thankful for these cousins!

Here is a FLASHBACK to the FFF two years ago!  

Thanksgiving On The Farm

We had a wonderful day out on the farm today!  R has been talking about going out there to see Naynee and "her friends" for two weeks now!  The day was finally here & we were so happy to be out there with everybody! 

I woke up this morning just thinking about how thankful I am for my little man and what a blessing he has been to my life.  I never knew I could love someone as much as I love him.  I was also thinking about how blessed I am to have two of the most loving and selfless parents around, thankful for their jobs, and a warm house and bed to sleep in every night.  I could go on and on...year round, I try and take time to thank Him for all the blessings he has blessed me with, but today is a special day to reflect on all the wonderful things He has given me and my family.  

While reading the #shereadstruth Thanksgiving plan this morning while still laying in bed...I read a sentence that has been with me all day, I couldn't seem to get it out of my head.  It said, "He's the same God that was with you in your proudest moment and your deepest shame.  Loving you with a steadfast love."  WOW.  Now THAT is something to be thankful for!

We had Freckle Face Farm born and raised organic ham & turkey...YUMM!!  Look at all that fat...sick I know!  We cut it all off...it just means they were healthy piggies!  ;)

Bunky is pretty much the meat men...and specifically the smoker man!  Man can he cook a mean bird! :P

We watched the parade this morning before leaving...but missed Mister Elf on a Shelf, so I took this off a Twitter to show R!  Squeak will be coming back to our house before we know it! =)

These two guys are pretty tight!  =)  I'm thankful for a Poppy that loves my little man as much as I do!

Uncle G takin R for a ride on the Kabota...I think he was getting on to him for something!  :P  IMAGINE that!  ;)

Some of their pigs...

& this is CooKoo!  He has turned into the little "pet pig"...ha!

CooKoo was sleepy after loading up on slop!

R & Sterling!  They practically played outside ALL.DAY.LONG...except for when we ate!  It was such a beautiful day!

Sweet Nana & Papaw!

A few pics with my little man...

R is such an actor!  He cracks me up!

Thankful for another Thanksgiving and wonderful friends and family to share it with!  We are blessed beyond measure, and I think some days we tend to forget that!

Hope you and your families enjoyed a day full a laughter, food and fellowship as we did!

Trip to the Farm!

A couple of weeks ago, we headed out to Freckle Face Farm to stay with the kiddos (some of them...) while Naynee was out of town.  It was killer hott out, but we still had a good time inside!  We had minimal fights & arguments between children, ate a yummy dinner together & then had fun wondering the farm as the sun was going down!

As you can see, the day wore somebody out!  We had a great time & were happy to "help" Naynee out while she was gone!  Thank for days out on the farm away from this crazy "city-life!" ;)
