Pleasant Dreams Farm: Showing Auntie Stacie around the farm.

Our family

Hi, welcome to our blog...thanks for stopping by! This blog is mostly about our life raising triplets and a singleton, but I do on occasion go off on a rant about this or that. We also have lots of crafts that we make with the kids, some pretty bomb recipes now and then too. In the summer of 2015 we bought 10 acres and started our small family farm. Lots of animals, dirt, work and fun! If you want to read our story from the beginning go to the Blog Archive and select April 2009. Also entry titles with a (*) have video clips...I try to keep them short and they are so fun to watch! Enjoy your stay, come again soon :)

Showing Auntie Stacie around the farm.

Grandma and Auntie Stacie spent the day with us on the farm...it was a blast. They got here before the trio got home from school, and since it was a surprise visit the kiddos were totally excited to have their Grandma and Aunt jump out from behind a couple trees to scare them along their walk up the drive way.
Then we got started giving Stacie a farm tour....and picking blackberries for Grandma to make a yummy dessert with.

Introducing Auntie to Mulan...she is one of the sweetest of our flock, and a kid fave.

Lots of wooly bears around the farm right now...we saw at least 5 today.

Grandma meeting the piggies.

Getting stuck with thorns and stinging nettles is worth it, if Grandma is making blackberry cobbler for dessert. Bonus when Auntie Stacie and Grandma help do the picking, and take over all the cooking.

With 6 pickers, one photo snapper, and 1 PITA dog...our buckets filled up fast.

We have tons of blackberries on the farm, we stopped by like 5 different areas on our property to pick.

Kitsune found some small burrs or something, it was fun picking them all off.

Checking out some slugs.

More wooly bears.

The recent rains are starting to perk our dried out pastures up a bit.

Jason got home and the hijinks ensued.

Grandma told Stacie that was dangerous, but her children did not listen. Of course Xander thought it was dangerous too, then added "Grandma, your daughter is crazy." Followed up with "If she falls off she will learn her lesson." LMAO!!

Thankfully no one fell off. Even when all 8 of us piled on the quad, Jericho and Jason driving the rest of us in the trailer...a true hillbilly hay ride LOL.
