See Ya Later

So this will be my last post for the next year and a half but my sister Caroline will be starting up a mission blog for me so you can check that out. As for this post I don't have much to say other than I am so excited and I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH!!!
So here is a bunch of pictures from visiting Luke's family and my travels to and through UT.





We went and visited Uncle Mace.





This are my beautiful parents at the Easter pagent at the Mesa temple.






This is the day before Easter and we were dying eggs.


These were my two favorite eggs that I did.


William enjoying some chream cheese frosting. Also I'm not sure how to flip these pictures.


Easter after church.


Right before our egg hunt.




This morning at Nate's.


This evening at Shay's house for Kale's surprise birthday party. We played put the head on the Lego Guy, I won.

Around the Farm and My Farewell

Well a couple weeks ago the Kurt and Amy family came to visit the farm. We took the little kids to check out the chickens and the calves. I think they really enjoyed themselves, I know I did.
This is Alaina letting a chicken go because it was moving to much.

Maddox showing us what he thinks about the chickens.

Alaina didn't mind holding this little hen.

Emmitt handled the chickens like a natural.

The following pictures are some of pictures that I took over the last 6 months with my nice camera. They just everyday things around the farm.


This is an Allen humming bird they are only around our house for a short time because they migrate somewhere. This guy was one of the firsts to come around, we weren't even ready for him. Poor guy, our feeder was empty, not to mention it was snowing.

This daffodil is part of the first successful batch at Shillig farms.

This is Elli at her softball game. Elli's little friend took pictures for me because I was doing the stats book. This was the best of the two.

These are just some of the people that were at my farewell. I am so blessed to have so much support. Thank you everyone.

Cows and Gifts

So I finally took some pictures of the calves and this first one is of Monica. She is the smaller of the two girls even though they are the same age. She has been sick this last week so I hope she pulls through.

This is Rachel and she is the most giddy cow I have ever met she is the most vocal of them all. It is fun to watch her because she loves to run and jump.

This is Angus and he is pretty chill and has the softest fur. He is smart enough to feed from this little bottle holder which makes things a lot easier when your the only one feeding the cows.
AND THIS IS CHANDLER! He was found and returned to us yesterday. We are all so happy to see him and are so grateful he is alive. He was missing in the wilderness for 11 days. It is nothing short of a miracle that he is still alive.

Last week I received a package form Sarah Howe with these beautiful towels that Aunt Stacey bought and had Sarah embroider my name (Hermana Shillig) on them. So thank you Stacey and Sarah.

Sarah told me about the towels so I was expecting them but she surprised me with this beautiful quilt. I love this quilt so much and I love that it says my full name. Thanks again Sarah.
