It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood oh won't you be my neighbor!

What a beautiful day it was today! We went down the road to check out the possibility of purchasing a piece of property along the riverside when we got caught up at our sudo family's place hanging out having fun and taking in the great weather. Matt learned how to use Glen's tractor to plow and Alyssa had fun playing with Kylie and Kaden in the dirt and painting beautiful pictures and of course her dress needed some more color from the bland pink and brown. We have so much fun here and are so lucky to have found such a close nit neighborhood that they would offer up several properties to keep us around for neighbors long term. I hope that we are able to grab this opportunity to guarantee a home for our retirement in the area Matt has been wanting to retire for many years and that I have come to appreciate for it's beauty and laid back neighbors that you can go to for anything from a cup of sugar to oil to heat your house. I have to say I have never been more happy to be wrong!

She thinks my tractor's sexy!!





Red rover, red rover send Alyssa right over!


Path of least resistance?





Look mom!!

Preview of Spring!!

Last week we were fortunate enough to get a break in the winter rain with a few gorgeous days so we decided to spend as much time outside getting everything ready for gardening season. Alyssa and Rachel were having a blast helping out and chasing the chickens. I can't wait until spring has officially sprung!!
