Adieu!

So its obviously been a long time since we posted on blogger. We were pretty faithful for quite a long time but have decided to move on and focus our efforts on the wonderful world of youtube and our channel there, "Fuller Farm". A picture is worth 1000 words so a video is worth a lot more right? We invite you to come check out our channel. We have realized the financial benefits of becoming a Youtube Partner while at the same time keeping family up to date on all of our activities. Its a win win situation! We hope you enjoy so come take a tour of our re-designed channel. Subscribe, Comment, and Share! https://www.youtube.com/user/ohfullers

Last Day of Spring Break

We had a fun spring break playing. We spent the last day at the zoo where we found this fun statue by the gorilla enclosure that we never noticed before. We enjoyed watching the gorillas move around and play. The C-bus zoo has a great indoor viewing area. We then trekked to the other end of the zoo to watch the polar bears move about.

So Quiet...

Caught all the kids, quiet as can be, reading books in the playroom. Hooray for kids that love to read!

On to Boy Scouts

Heber earned his Faith in God award, Webelos badge, and Arrow of Light. He is off to Boy Scouts!

Cheese Car

Heber's last pinewood Derby!

Bossy

Ready to Mow

Groundhog's Day

Now That's Cold

A little experiment with boiling water in 10 below zero weather (-30 to -40 with windchill).

And This Little Pig Went to Market

Took our Berkshire pig to the butcher. He weighed in at 217 lbs. and we sure are glad we got him there before these sub-zero temperatures.

Bored

What happens when you run out of things to do on Christmas vacation and its cold outside? We are not sure what this is called but we are certain its the next BIG thing. The kids had fun stuffing pillows, blankets, and anything they could find in their shirts.

Blackberries and Pineapple

Both Blackberries and Pineapple have been on sale which means time to make freezer jam and can pineapple chunks and pineapple jam. We have good helpers too.

Juicing

Blast from the past. Anyone recognize this awesome juicer?

Snowball Fight!

Christmas Morning Fun

Gingerbread House

Gingerbread house that Heber made at school as part of their study of shapes. Who knew shapes could be so delicious.

Ward Christmas Party

A few shots from the Ward Christmas party. The kids made reindeer food and got to see Santa.

Baby Its Cold Outside!

Its been a chilly December and its not even winter yet. Likely winter's revenge for such a warm winter last year. This was kind of a wet snow, which reduced our speed and ability to set Fuller world records in the back yard, but we had fun.

Old Man Who?

Old Man Winter must be thinking of waking up as we had a nice dusting of snow this morning. We thought the tractor looked fun in the snow.

Mr Handsome

Happy Fall!

The kids celebrated Fall with a little romp in the leaves. They are always so excited and eager to rake up the leaves each year. Its like a game for them. We had dinner with some friends and we were all laughing because we found Heber outback raking their leaves (they wanted to keep him by the way). Someone tell me they will remain this way please!

New Windows

So the old windows in the original side of the house were the original windows from 1962. Single pane, aluminum, lot of moisture during the winter from condensation..you get the idea. We were excited to finally get the new windows installed. We are amazed at how quieter it is in the house. Our heating bill never was crazy because the house is otherwise very well insulated but we should still notice a big difference. NO MORE MOISTURE OR ICE ON THE GLASS IN THE WINTERS!! That's what we are really excited about.

Pickle the Pig Update

He loves his pig nipple.

Trunk or Treat

This is from our ward trunk or treat and Chili cookoff that we had at a park in Westerville. Amazingly there were 2 Lukes with Yoda's on their backs!. The kids had a lot of fun trying to blow the giant bubbles too. Obviously Tommy did not want to be turned back into a prince.

The Deer Came Back!

In the form of wonderful Summer Sausage! We got Original, Cheddar, and Spicy with Cheddar logs of venison summer sausage as well as steaks and lots of ground venison with beef fat. We made these delicious venison and pork hamburgers. Yum!
