Elle wanted to carve a sugar pumpkin... I coudn't find out carving knife, so a typical face carving couldn't be performed, so instead we gutted it and took a drill with different size bits to it and it turned out kind of fun!</div>

My grandpa gave us his old horse trailer and since cow prices are through the roof this fall, we are waiting until spring to get any calfs and in the mean time, the trailer has become home to 4 bunny rabbits that were given to us from an old high school friend. These are for pets, (not meat) and will be set free to roam the property with our other "free range" rabbit in the spring. </div>

In the mean time, they are loved on daily... sometimes to their dismay... and the trailer is an amazing babysitter! =) I planted three fruit trees on the hillside just by the trailer, with Christian shut in with the rabbits. I could hear him singing to them the whole time and laughing, it was so cute!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they were the ones I was the most leary about getting. There is so much talk about how aggressive pigs can be, what escape artists they are, etc.. but so far... They are quiet, they are content to lay around and relax and they are always super grateful for their food and water.</div>

And here they are having a bath after the long day! Ha! We gave dada a special foot rub in the tub of hot soapy water, while he relaxed on the couch and then that turned in to the kids wanting to have their bath in that tub downstairs... It is so funny what kids think is exciting.... 'oooo... a bath, in a tub we can hardely fit in, down in a big open room, with none of our bathtoys or cushy bathmat.... oooo..... how exciting!' =) </div>

Our dinning room table was ruined in storage when we were in Miami. It was beyond repair, so I started to look for another one. We had been given the other one and I hadn't realized how expensive large tables in my style cost! So I decided I would try my hand at building ours myself. I've been asked by a few people now to put pictures on the blog... so here they are... I really like how it turned out, and was very pleased with the cost. =)</div>

I failed to get photo's of Levi's (cousin) amazing self made bow which he used to try and shoot apples out of the air! AMAZING! Not to mention, all of the incredible food everyone brought, and the kids going in and trying to pet the sheep... Thank you to all who made the effort to come out and enjoy this day with us- we had a blast!</div>

We got a cider press! I have been wanting on of these for years! So fun for all ages. We have made about 30 gallons so far, all from apples from neighbors trees that would have otherwise just been wasted on the ground. Some of these pictures were taken at our fall party- very fun. The hogs, chickens and sheep all love to eat the pulp that is left so none is wasted. All that sugar sweet fruit helps fatten up the critters (and humans) for the winter. </div>

We ran out of bacon.... so we got these... =) They are SO cute! I am glad they are ugly when they are older... that'll make the whole "bacon" thing much easier. =) We still have one 1/2 available and one 1/4. $5/lb hanging weight (somewhere around 80-110lbs for whole??) plus cut and wrap paid to butcher. (about 55 cents/pound... depends on how much you want smoked). We need $100 deposit for 1/2 $50 for a 1/4 (helps cushion our high feed costs). Email if interested. They are being raised on pasture, with access to wooded area to root for bugs/grubs, being fed apple pulp from cider press, corn from garden, pumpkins and some food scraps as well as store bought hog feed.</div>

LOVE LOVE LOVE this park! So fun for the kids. Big park, river to play in/float, fire pit, lake to ski and tube on, sand pit to play in, paths to explore, and very best of all we go with just the most incredible families that have the sweetest and adventuresome kids and such grounded parents! Very fun. </div>

Came back from Eastern WA with a box of Peaches. I have never canned them before, Elle loves canned peaches, so it was fun to learn. We'll see how they taste a few months from now! (Still enjoying fresh ones while they are available).

My son is a VERY picky eater. It is a massive battle that quite honestly, I have not fully gone into yet. I have so many other battles I choose to fight with him that as long as he is still growing well and such, (which he is) than I am just not going to worry about it until I get his other "issues" figured out. But, one of the things he LOVES is carrots... particularly dirty carrots fresh from the garden! He worked on eating this one all afternoon.

I am not actually a huge fan of onions. I ask them to be removed from my burgers, don't put them on salad and I have NEVER bit in to one like an apple. I am a huge baby when it comes to cutting them, my eyes water for a LONG time and I wear my kids swim goggles whenever they are handy. HOWEVER- I know how healthy onions are for you and do enjoy them in things that I can't really taste them in- like soups, sauces, salsa, stews, roasts, etc... This was my first year growing them and I honestly did it with my mother in law in mind because she LOVES onions and uses them in everything. So here is a little less than 1/2 of the onions I grew this year. They are being hung to dry. I think that ideally this should be done in a dark space (?) but to my understanding it is suppose to be warm (80 degrees or so) so I am trying this. The door to the greenhouse (the one I am standing in taking the pictures) is open so it doesn't trap moisture in there or anything, (it is suppose to be dry)- anyway, we'll see how it works in about 2 weeks I will know. I did ut some down below the shelves in a bottom vented box as well to see if the dark makes a difference. If anyone has experiance with this and wants to comment- that'd be great! =) </div>

And here is one of actually quite a few little watermelons I have growing in the greenhouse right now. It was an experiment to see if I could get them to grow in our climate in an open greenhouse, so far it looks like it is working, we'll see if they get to size or not. That'll be SO great if we can grow our own watermellons! Yum.</div>

These are the "puppy cages" One of my kids favorite games is to play puppy. One of the nice things about being back up in our house is to have the space to make forts and still have room to walk in the room. =)</div>

I got to know him well when I went to school in Colorado so when we were invited down to Colorado for the big celebration, we were happy to make the trip! The kids once again did AMAZING for the 20 hour car ride, especially since it was a quick trip. Basically 3 days of driving for 2 days of fun. There were terrible forest fires in many parts of Colorado and when we made this trip, many were actually leaving due to the fires, but we were were going to an area not affected. Although I will say I have never seen it so dry there so early in the year. Even the drive through Utah, Wyoming and northern Colorado was much more barren than I recall from my previous drives to and from school. There was a strict no open flame law in effect. They couldn't even burn tiki tourches or candels. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
