Making Donuts With Joanna & Kaitlyn

Making donuts sounded like a great idea, so they mixed up the dough.
They each took half.. 

... and rolled it out. Everything was going great! Until...

...someone started a flour fight! 
Then it became crazy!!
Surprisingly the donuts rose,
so they stuck them in the hot oil.
Who would've guessed that these donuts would turn out SO beautiful and delicious?!! Well, it didn't turn out quite that easy. It took the second try to get them looking this good. :)

Great job girls!!

Butchering Day

Time to put some meat in the freezer!! Dad and Micah got this steer off of Micah's brother.
Micah and Jenny also raised a pig for us and them.
The guys getting prepared...

Watching...
Micah D, having fun on the scooter.
So adorable!
Time to get started!
Watching from the truck.
Everyone loves Aunt Kaitlyn! :)

Cutting him up before hanging him in the cooler.
Micah and his brother and Dad recently built a cooler box in the front of a horse trailer. We borrowed it to hang the meat in.

Putting the meat into the cooler.
We are going to leave it hang in there for a couple weeks before cutting it off the bone.
Now for the pig.
In to the cooler she goes! She will hang there a few days before we cut her up.

Looks like our freezer will be full again soon! :)
