Had to get a shot of the pigs that they are raising. Pigs are
what Staci raised in FFA.

Today is Staci's Birthday. We knew we wanted to do something that Staci would have enjoyed on her birthday, so we decided we wanted to do something with animals. Through so truly amazing events, we were brought together with the Pooley's the owners of a local working farm and pumpkin patch. I posted an add back in the beginning of October explaining about how Staci and Riley had been involved in a tragic and deadly head on collision. I also explained how much Staci loved animals and was involved with FFA in high school. I explained how this would be the first birthday that she wouldn't be with her to celebrate with us, but we still wanted to be able to do something she would have really enjoyed. Someone, Jody, read the listing, and forwarded it to her friend, Mike, who is the brother of Elizabeth Pooley, he forwarded our email on to Elizabeth and Jeff who emailed us inviting us to their farm. We found out that Jeff's birthday is also on November 3rd, the same day as Staci's. He felt a connection with Staci sharing a birthday and that is why he forwarded his sister the email that his friend had sent to him. We really had a wonderful time as we moved hay bails, pet chicks, herded sheep, and moved the runt piglet that was getting picked on by the bigger piglets. Elizabeth and Jeff are such great people and they really made us feel welcomed. We are looking forward to getting together with all of them again.

That is really sweet. Thanks for th ecomment about Emmit. We'll try to work on his part.
Thank you Janette. I didn't know if (or how) to say something about her birthday on our blog. But trust me, I thought of her all day. I remember helping Staci feed and deliver her piglets. Okay, so I mostly stood there watching! But she loved her pigs - she was a very caring person.
We wish that you could have been her to join us!
Okay, so people are wondering what the deleted message is. I was typing my comment and accidentally hit return. So I deleted the post. Don't worry, I didn't delete anyone's comment.
That must of been a wonderful day for you all, even though it was a tough one to have! You all are really close and loving, I love that in you! xo
