Fresh Dairy Products!!

When I say "fresh" I mean fresh! Butter is one of our main staples in baking and lots of other things.  A family our size goes through lots of butter. Now that we have our cow there is never a shortage around our house of fresh, homemade butter. 

We each get a jar and the shaking begins...

There is nothing like the taste of fresh butter. So soft and creamy! 

We freeze them in 1 cup quantities, which makes it easy for baking.

Fresh mozzarella cheese anyone? Jenny has mastered an awesome mozzarella cheese recipe and it is so good.

Even with all the cheese, cottage cheese, butter, and other things we use the milk for, we still had more then we could use. That is where this little calf is coming in handy. We just got him a few days ago and Millie and him have already bonded. He is so cute and only 9 days old. Never dreamed of having a little calf on our farm.  :)

Jubilee says "Hi" to you all! Have a great weekend! :)

Sweet Little Jubilee

You can't imagine how things have changed since little Jubilee and Micah David came along. A life without babies, is completely a different story. For around 5 years we didn't have the toys that cluttered the floor, diapers to be changed, little boys to keep out of trouble, etc... There are always meals to be made for the ever growing family, milk to make into cheese or butter, house to be cleaned, clothes to be washed, and the mountain of dishes that seems to reach for the sky.  With Mom busy with the baby, us girls have stepped in to take over the task. We are learning how busy a mothers life can be. :) The house would be so boring with out the little patter of feet, the coos of a baby after her tummy is full and she is content, the cluttered floor that indicates little people live here. Life is busy, but it is all worth it in the end! :)

Little Jubilee is such a sweetie pie!

We all love her dearly!

Micah David loves his aunt. He is a little boy with a big voice, but when it comes to aunt Jubilee his jabbers are turned into sweet, soft coos. 

He loves giving her kisses!! :)
