My husband Jonathan (photo bombed by our youngest Haylen). We have been married for 10.5 years with two wonderful children! He is a very quiet dry sense of humor man with a great personality that makes me laugh daily. As you can tell from the sweet Christmas pics I was trying to make...he just loves having pictures made! He is a full time fireman and full time farmer working on the family farm the days he is not at the fire dept. Jesus, family, and livestock are his passions and I would not have it any other way. I promise to share my real farmer's wife confessions that are guaranteed to make you laugh and may have you counting your blessings you are not married to one!!!
Here is our oldest Hartwell but we call him Hart who is 6yrs old. A true cowboy in every way and has been since he was old enough to understand going to the barn with Daddy meant hogs, cows, and loading and unloading big trucks. At 4yrs old he could tell you about the difference between most of the tractor and trailers on the road as well as trucks and livestock trailers. He builds and designs on a daily basis rodeos and barns with loading docks for the trucks. He tried mutton bustin' for the first time back in November and has fallen in love (which I knew he would). So has Mommy & Daddy! For those not sure what mutton bustin' is I will share in my terms. Similar to bull riding where grown men get on a large bull and try to hang on for 8 seconds, young kids climb on a sheep and hang on as you can tell by the above picture having the time of their life! He is not interested in the normal sports and I can't complain. I rather spend all day watching kids at a junior rodeo than sitting in the stands at a ball field any day. But that is just this Mommy's opinion.
Last but not least when it comes to personality is our sassy Haylen 3yrs old! Where do I even start with her as you can tell by her last picture. She loves all animals but is scared of bugs! One minute is singing and dancing in dress up heels and a princess dress and the next ripping it all off to head to the barn to dig in the red clay dirt! She loves anything artsy such as coloring, painting, cutting paper, etc. Can't wait to see what excitement to brings us the years to come!!!
And that is my sweet little family. I love everyday with them! Some days I am stressed more than I should be, worrying more than just relaxing and enjoying the time with them. Praying this year I slow down more and enjoy the days that seem to fly by the older they get! Praying that we as parents can set the example that spending time and not money is more important on each other in this life! Praying blessing and good health to you and your family for this year to come!!
Thank you for stopping by Prissy Dixie!
