Farm days...

We headed back to Alabama for some work, fun, and family. Since I just had Lula and Greyson I decided to do Lu's 5 year pictures. The farm is a wonderful place to do this and was really pleased how the pics turned out...

I was able to step into the life of a chicken farmer and I am not going to lie to you....it is not a glamorous job. I had to walk the chicken houses, which after a little while did not notice the smell as bad, and pick up dead chickens, which was definitely very smelly, and worked very hard. I have blisters on my hands, covered in dirt, and who knows what else, from head to toe, and I was very sore.....

but, there is something very serene, calm, and peaceful about the life of a farmer. It is rewarding to see your garden grow, your chickens grow and happy, and the beauty all around you. Not to mention the friendly atmosphere and the fun equipment you get to drive.

God is so wonderful to give us such beautiful things to see....one day working a storm was coming in and the sky was breathtaking how it reflected off the pond. I also witnessed kindness of the neighboring farmer share his crops and how everyone seems to have each others back...

I found myself being very southernfied with my accent becoming very drawn and eating all that yummy food and drinking a lot of sweet tea.
One of my favorite things to do is spend time with family and that is exactly what I did.. staying up late together, working together, and basically doing everything together. It reminds me so much of growing up and reveals to me just how much I miss it, the family time not so much the hard work. =)

Lula is definitely my city girl...she worried about getting dirty, the bugs, and kept asking me "what is that smell", but had a wonderful time.

I had to include this picture because this is the way she was acting a lot of the time...

but I some how managed to make her laugh...

Here is a picture Amber took while I was working in the chicken house. Thanks Amber for the great time and sharing your life with me...I feel so blessed to have you and the family!

Here is a picture of Lula, Aunt Lee-C took her to a water park and she loved it! She rode everything there even the big slides... a big thank you to Lee-C for taking such good care of my baby and giving her a wonderful time. Thank you Ticket Master! =)


A big thank you to my sweet Aunt Lisa for taking such wonderful care of us and making it very hard to leave...

We are now home and anxiously awaiting for our beloved husband/ daddy to get home. We look forward to being back together as family.
