The Past Weeks

Hi Folks, I know it's been a little while but as you know....
Yes we are always busy! :) When we say we are busy, most people don't really understand. You probably wonder " How hard is is to sit down and make a blog post?."   And I agree it's not that hard lol it's just that the life of us Strites is absolutely crazy, most of the time! Joylin and I go on milk & egg deliveries 3 days out of a week, and the days we are home, well there is computer work for Joylin, some days it's laundry for me, or maybe the eggs that have been neglected for the past few days. Life continues to go on...      Lately as some of you may know, we are building a dairy! Well it has been progressing quite fast if you ask me, haha but if you ask the guys I'm sure they would say that it's slowly coming along. Anyways we are all getting very excited to have our new set up! That means no more washing jars in a dishwasher after coming home from every milk drop, and being able to process the eggs in a way better facility.. meaning that mom will have her laundry room back to JUST laundry and not an egg boxing room! So between all of this there is not a whole lot of time where someone can sit down and blog... much to all of your dismays! :/ Sorry, guys!

Here are a few pictures from the past weeks! ;) Enjoy!    

A beautiful sunset! My God never ceases to amaze me with His beauty.
Wonderful rain clouds in the distance.

After chores one morning Jared and Joshua had a successful coyote hunt.

They are currently working on the milk house

Inside the milk house.
Be careful Jesse, your ladder looks a bit tipsy! 
When they were putting the metal roof on one of the boys got these cool pictures.
We love our beautiful valley.


This will be the holding area and where the cows will get milked.


The siding all up and looking awesome! 

Jaylon and Justin had a hunt this week and they both got really nice sized bucks! 
Good Job guys! 

All the Grandkids... we couldn't get them to smile! LOL
Jessica and the Kids are back at their cozy little home.
Jessica said they woke up to snow this morning, thus beginning their long cold winter.
Well that's all I have for you at the moment! See ya next time!

Enjoying Our Time Together

We've all been loving Jessica and the kids being here! 

The little girls have been inseparable ever since they arrived! 
Not sure how Kyle feels about all this girl attention... :P
Jessica cleaned out Jubilee's room and all her stuffed animals got washed. The girls hanging them all up.
Jason and Kezia have been enjoying their time on a farm. 
They absolutely loved the new calves!

Kezia talking to Grandpa while he milked. I thought this picture was adorable! 

Mom helping them with a little fall project.

The end result. :)

They share a passion for books!
As for Jessica,  well she's back to doing what she loves! The other day she deep cleaned Mom and Dad's room.

All sparkly clean!
A new thing for the little kids right now is their bikes! Joylin told them to grin, and they made funny faces...
Thinking this would work better, she told them to make themselves laugh... and Uriah apparently thinks the only way to do that, is tickle yourself! XD
Well this will have to do!
