Calves

The calves have been coming like crazy this last week.  We were figuring out the other day that in one week we had 70 calves.  On a few days we had 14 and 12 calves a day.  We have been blessed with all these little babies and they are all doing pretty good.

 They are so cute and curious

 They are growing so fast

The Clouds this last Friday were so pretty.  One of my favorite things to do is just watch the clouds when there's a storm moving in.  We did get over 1/2 inch from these clouds.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is love.  whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Here are a few random pictures for this weekend.  Have a good one!

In every thing give thanks: For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  1 Thessalonians 5:18



Spring

I think spring is finally here to stay. We have been really busy with calving the last few weeks. We have had as many as 12 calves in one day. It is kind of hard to keep everything on dry ground with the water running so much. We have like a river running through our South pasture and our lake is getting pretty large. The best part of all that is going on around here is that you can see God in everything. Every were you look you can see how much God loves us. He shows us in all the new life that He cares so much. I am in awe at what God can and will do. Everything is growing so quickly and before we know it, it will be summer.























You can know and depend on the love that I have for you.

 1 John 4:16

LOVE



 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;  does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;  does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails....... 1 Corinthians 13:4-8



March 24th 2011

This last week was not too fun to be calving in.  We got about 2 inches of snow and lots of ice .  We had to keep a close eye on the cows through the night and we had to check a lot in the day too.  We are really starting to get quite a few calves.  Right now our count is 24 little calves.

The trees are so full of ice, they look so pretty

I found this lone leaf that was frozen full of ice.  I thought it looked pretty

All the fence posts are frozen full of ice from the East because the wind and freezing rain came from the East 

 Since this last week was really nice in the 30s most of the snow melted but after Tuesday and Wednesday we have more snow

Even through it all though the cows came out of it pretty well.  Even the calves are running around today

Youth Rally

Yesterday Mom took us girls up to the Clevland church for a Youth Rally. It was lots of fun to spend time with other kids and to be with friends.  We were blessed with the messages and were encouraged. 

Jody and I had fun playing some hand games with the little kids

The speakers were really good and we enjoyed the meetings a lot.

For an after noon project we marked Bibles for signs boxes.  We enjoyed that a lot and hope someone will be blessed by these gifts.

There were about 35 youth there from around the area.  In North Dakota small communities it was a pretty good turn out.

Mr. Griffen is one of the best song serves leaders you will ever find.

For the evening we went out to Sund's farm for supper and an evening filled with lots of fun.  They had quite a few group games to play and they were all enjoyed.

For this game you had 2 teams and you had to pass a balloon all the way down your line with your feet. 

Musical chairs is always a fun game.  If you have the right people playing it can even get wild!

For a relay race you and all your team mates had to run down to the other end of the shop and get dressed in the winter stuff and then tag the next team member

Then to top off a day full of laughs we played some long games of good old lightning

One of the fun things we did was play pit.  For some reason I'm not sure why ? we always seem to get in trouble for being too loud when we play this game :)

with Sund's having so many little animals on their farm this time of year the little kids got to enjoy the new little babies.

For you are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:5

Teach me Your way, O Lord;  I will walk in Your truth;

 Unite my heart to fear Your name.

 I will praise you, O Lord my God,

 With my heart, and I will glorify Your name forever.

 For great is Your mercy toward me,

 and You have delivered my soul from the depths of the lowest.  Psalm 86:11-13
