Snow❄️

We got some measurable snow today.

Daddy and the four big children rounded the corner too fast for me to grab a good picture, 32 below windchill, inspite of the frigid temperatures, all the big ones wanted to go help with chores.
Back from chores!
The corn is growing!
We were able to sneak in a nice trip back to Andrew’s hometown, the children snuck in a little time to ice skate.

New Bulls

It’s that time of year…bull sales!  When fencing this summer, Andrew noticed the neighboring  herd that was next to our herd… He found out that they sold bulls, since Andrew liked the look and shape of the cattle, he picked out a bull and Grandpa was able to bid on it yesterday, Grandpa also bought one for himself.

Grandpa’s bull & Rossette.

Our bull, a bit flighty … I still like the very calm British White bulls we bring in a bit more.

A beautiful view on my drive to town with the children. Andrew attended a meeting in Bismarck for professional growth. Makes my heart ❤️ happy .

Beautifully stated…

Spring Fever

Our oldest had to plant corn 🌽… we’re all starting to get Spring Fever!

Finishing up feeding the heifers corn.
Feed time!
Moving the heifers to a new pasture to graze.
School Valentine’s Day dance, time for this Mom to teach her sons the Foxtrot, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba, and we can’t forget the good ol’ polka!🕺
First calf of 2022! Matilda had a calf today!
With the spring melt, the duck pond is full… All the children were given a safety talk about thin ice and water.
Love my little chore buddies💖
My phone brought this picture up of the first year we moved in to our house… Makes me miss my mom and her playfulness and her big smile she always had around the children.

Happy St. Valentine’s Day!❤️

Chore Date

Grandpa needed a distraction from his sorrow, so Andrew and I went on a chore date, and he offered to babysit the three littles for us.

Loading the corn.
My sweetheart.
Here they come.
Feeding the corn.
Fun to see them line up.
Salt & Mineral bunk.
Loaded up and ready to roll.
Gathering the strings.
Feeding Hay with the Gator & Pick & Roll.
Chore Mates.
It’s good to have friends in time of sorrow.
Had to say safe travels and Godspeed to Aunt Lang on Monday afternoon.

Comfort

I am not sure where to begin to say thank you to all of those who have brought comfort and prayers to our family. Andrew and I have not needed to cook a meal in the last 4 days. So much generosity and love we have felt.  The All Night Vigil was so powerful!  The flowers made the funeral beautiful.  Thank you dear friends and loved ones!

Mom’s sister was able to attend the funeral! Thank you Medora for helping make that happen. She has brought so much comfort to all of us, it is so nice that she was able to be here for her sister.
My 3-4 am vigil hour with God, Mom, and Andrew will forever be etched in my mind. So powerful! So holy! So good!
Mom’s Family. Are you able to tell she loved babies and taught her children to also love and respect life? She knew what was most important in this world and in the next.
Mom heading to her final resting place.
Being able to walk with her was so powerful!
Burial. Mother was buried by those who loved her.
Corporal Work of Mercy: Bury the deceased. Everyone was given a chance to help Mom attain her final resting place.
Happy Memories 💛🤍💛

Mother

My mother passed to her eternal rest tonight at 9:50 pm.  Fr. Gary Benz gave her, her Last Rites & Apostolic Pardon at 7:30 pm.  Andrew, the children, my Dad and I finished the Rosary at approximately 8:30 pm.  My Mother was gifted the Happy Death she prayed for.  Miss you Mom, put in some good words for us.

Eternal rest grant unto HER, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon HER.

May the souls of all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

~Amen~
