Making Room for Cattle and Keeping the House Warm

As a girl, one of my passions was showing and taking care of my 4-H cattle and it has always been a dream that one day my own children will share this passion.
Dan's Dad was a big cattle showman so I know that he has it in his blood as well. So one of our long term projects right now is clearing some of the woods for a future barn and cattle pasture.
We have been doing this as we have needed firewood for our outdoor wood burner, but I am sure that soon we will be hiring some sort of a company to come in and finish taking out the cherry trees and all unnecessary stumps. Then my dreams will really start coming true.
Dan and the boys have been using the truck to pull trees out. For some reason, it is very exciting when Daddy pulls logs or as Jaxson keeps telling us, Daddy pulls flowers. I am not sure why he keeps saying Daddy pulls flowers, but he is pretty stuck on it and talks about  it daily.
Anyways, just a few pictures from "pulling flowers" last weekend.

 
Guess you could call this an action shot...

 
Jaxson and Dick (the dog) are supervising.

 
Dozer the glove thief gets motion sickness very easily so he sits and waits for some poor innocent child to walk by with gloves on so he can steal them and run like the wind.

 
Is it spring yet?
