Jed turned 12 today

Lemon bar birthday cake

 

Said he wanted to go riding tonight

We ended up racing and there isn't any catching that cow pony he is on... notice I am not riding behind him didn't want to be in his dust cloud.

Collecting our winter wood

Boys and I have been cutting down firewood and hauling it up to the house to be split... the boys enjoy splitting the wood to fit our wood cookstove.  The horses sometimes have to pull hard to get the loads home.
