Who knew that sharing a rootbeer float could be so fun?!? :-)

 

Our 18 year old!

 It's been a strange transition going from having a high school daughter to having an adult daughter.  The saying that states "the days pass slowly but the years pass quickly" is definitely true.  How in the world do we have an adult daughter already?!?! Maddie is a freshman in college studying biology and is leaning towards studying genetic counseling.  Maddie also landed a job at a local supermarket as a cashier! This new form of parenting is different... exciting.... challenging... but, we are so thankful to have such an amazing young adult who is turning out be an extraordinary human being. 

Getting our Christmas tree!

We had a lot of fun getting our tree this year.  We have no clue where to go in this area, so we drove until we found what we thought looked like a good spot.  We hiked around, sledded down the hills, and found the most perfect tree!  We were going to have a fire, roast marshmallows and little smokies, but the truck got stuck in the snow! Oh no!  By the time we were free it was getting dark and we didn't want to drive home in the snow and ice in the dark!

 

Thanksgiving 2020!

 

Planting trees at our new house!

The pictures are really hard to see, but, we planted 27 trees!  The new property is full of pine and juniper trees, but not many deciduous trees.  We planted canadian red choke cherry trees along the outside pasture and roadway and red maples along the driveway!  I'm so excited to see what these trees look like in the spring and again in the fall!
 

Look who is officially old enought to vote!!!
