simply.grateful.life: A Little Recap

I always have Preslie take a picture walk when we are about to begin reading a new book. It gives her a glimpse of what the story is about and prepares her to read. Thought it might be fun to take a little picture walk through the past couple of weeks in our life! We're not settled but doing the best we can to enjoy the journey. Here are a few highlights (in no particular order)of what's been happening around here...

This was the sky the first night we slept in our new home!

Pretty much every morning Preslie gets up before 8:00 so she can get ready, cross the pasture and tell Grandma bye before she leaves for work.

Soon after, Kyleigh and Preslie (sometimes Addi) feed all the horses and clean out the stalls

Rick has done a lot of gravel leveling for the circle drive

Preslie did a lot of raking the circle drive -

Preslie took a short break one day to play "McDonalds" - we all enjoyed the 'meal'

Addi ran the cash register - good big sister!

All the girls did a lot of watering to help the new sod do well

Preslie loves to help me cook. This was her first time to help me make chicken fried steak! She did a super job!

On nights she doesn't have soccer practice, Addison runs around the 10 acres a few times to stay in shape. Whose child is this?!?

Hunter and Kyleigh helped Rick build the fence. This was a multi-day project but they did a great job and with great attitudes. Happy Mom memory.

`Kyleigh and Preslie headed off to feed and ride horses - these two are so similar in all the best ways

Several days a week the girls ride horses - here they are!

Captured this gorgeous sunset one night. I'm mildly obsessed with the sky. My dad would have said about this, "Good work Lord!" Agreed! Not sure it gets any better than this...
