I'll love you til the end of vine.

pump·kin

  • NOUN:
    • A coarse trailing vine (Cucurbita pepo) widely cultivated for its fruit.
    • The large pulpy round fruit of this plant, having a thick, orange-yellow rind and numerous seeds.
    • Any of several other vines of the genus Cucurbita, especially C. maxima or C. moschata, bearing large pumpkinlike squashes.
  • A moderate to strong orange.



 While driving to our first high school football game (muleshoe mules vs. friona chieftons) we drove passed this pumpkin field...i had to take the boys and snap a few photos the following week. Come to find out there are all kinds of pumpkin fields close to the dairy and the owner of this patch told us to take ALL we want!!  So we Kindly did!!


... My little Max...



...his little hands...

 big brother nathan picked out his pumpkin



love these levi's..thanx to his gg

what brothers do right...throw big objects at their little brothers head. this is when the picture taking came to a halt and tears started pouring down. I guess i should get use to it as a mom of 2 boys:)

.....SmELLS lIKe hOme.....

It has officially been TWO week's since we have become Texans and we are settling in quite nicely!!


Here are some pictures from our MOO-VING in day and our new place of hire..the DAIRY!

Love all the trees and do you see that garage!! It is a dream come true for Nathan, he calls it his "man cave". For me..it is more space to keep all my junky funky finds :)

 This would be the "before" picture of the house..."after" to come soon!!
I have so many ideas and projects for this house..little by little.


The boys love going for wagon rides in our neighborhood and i have just as much fun pulling them along waving to everyone. Waving must be done at all times in this land of Friona, friendly people.  This is at the end of the road and it really is "WIDE OPEN SPACES"..(thank you dixie chicks)


To some it might be smelly... but to me it SMELLS LIKE HOME!!!!!!

Del Rio Dairy
est. 1982

 Amazing sunrise on my first day at the dairy. i look forward to this view every morning..GOD IS GOOD!!

Lil Nathan just loves cows and gets so excited when he comes to the dairy. Makes my little heart so happy that my boys will also get to grow up on the dairy like their mommy.

We Made It To Texas!! YIPPEE

we made it to TEXAS...
nathan drove this beauty with champ (our dog) and our freaked out cat remington (who took a little poop under the seat) as his co-pilot's.

one of many stops in gallup, new mexico

The drive over here took us ONLY 18 hours..for most people it takes 12-13...but with 2 small kiddos, 2 cats, our dog, g-ma liz and hauling our entire life in the back of a uhaul, wells-cargo trailer and my car stuffed to capacity (mostly with beer and wine..we are in a dry county!!!!!!!!!) it was the longest day and it probably didn't help out that nathan and i had only 3 hours of sleep the night before. THANK YOU GOD... for protecting us and keeping us safe on our drive and for the Shamu Movie the boys insisted on watching over and over:)

g-ma liz and i drove the truck with the boys and isabella (the other cat) sat between the boys in her travel house.



got to get out and stretch out!!

helping daddy with the trailer and wearing the backpack.

max..our back-up driver!!
The first part of our adventure is over and we are excited to see how LIFE will treat us.
