Trains, Tractors and Lots of Lights

Trains, Tractors and Lots of Lights

Mile: 115,045 It was an action packed couple days! Action Jackson is out of school so he got to spend some time with Papa and Uncle Kyle overseeing our job site. He was pretty tuckered out but still insistent that we spread some Christmas Cheer…

Oh Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas Tree

Mile: 114,945

Action Jackson loves our annual tradition of cutting down a Christmas tree and this year was no different. First, we had to help string the lights on the trees at our house. Team work makes the dream work!

Then it was off to Angevine Farm up in Warren. It was a little foggy out but that did not deter us from our mission of picking the perfect tree.

Jackson quickly went to the Frazier fir area and we walked between the rows and rows of trees before Heather came upon the perfect tree… that someone else was scouting. Luckily, they moved on to another one and there it was …. A beaut! Or as Jackson says “boootfiul”.

This year Jackson was the primary sawyer and did a bang up job. Before you know it not only will he be cutting down the tree but dragging it as well without my help. We are so lucky to be able to cherish these days before he gets older and try to never take a day for granted.

Of course we had to fuel up with some hot chocolate and molasses’s cookies.

Mile: 114, 935 We try to teach Jackson how fortunate we are and whenever possible we try to give back. In its tenth year the local Odd Fellows held their annual toy drive and we were lucky enough to be able to help them out!…

Naughty or Nice?

Mile: 114,906 I got to watch Jackson and his buddy Alejandra as there was a mom’s night out fundraiser thing going on. We went to our favorite spot, Brickhouse. And of course the item of the night was PASTA! After we filled our bellies they…

A Boy and His Pup

A Boy and His Pup

Mile: 113, 952

For those who have been following from mthe beginning of our Ole red adventures we used to have an amazing Shepherd, Sadie. She was the soul of our family and when she finally had to depart it was tough on all of us. We are now lucky to have a new Shepherd though who we love just as much, Ella. Now that Jackson is older his bond is even stronger with Ella.

On this day we went searching for some pottery shards on the riverbank. We then got rid of some pumpkins from Halloween and Jackson thought he was coy by “hiding” under the box in the back of Ole Red. I played along and took off with him “nowhere to be found.” Man, I love our adventures!
