Your pictures say so much more than words ever could about living. Your family is beautiful.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Squeaks! Sorry we didn’t make it out today. But we should be out next weekend! 🙂

She’s looking forward to it.
A very lovely day for a very happy birthday.
It was a good day.. Only one temper tantrum. Maybe 9 is the year they stop. Fingers crossed..
Gorgeous kids! Love the pics..
Your daughter is so ADORABLE!

Your children are beautiful Heidi! You are all so lucky to live the way you do with horses and some land! Love this post! And a big happy birthday to squeaks! She is literally 2 weeks older than my 8 year old 😉
Happy birthday and happy life! I love the simplicity. You clearly live intentionally. You pictures are beautiful, too.
