Corn...

Well, before I get started on corn, I thought I'd share this with you.


How do you go from this precious scene, (Kristyn loves to feed Megan).......

....to this? Kristyn's only explaination was, "Well, she wanted to feed herself!" Hmmmm......
Happy as a little bird. :)
Okay, now to the corn. Do you ever wonder how the corn goes from the corn field to the neat packages in the freezer?

First you shuck it...
Then you cut out the bad parts....
Nibble on some of it....

Feed the donkey.....
Wash it....

Put it in boiling water for about 10 minutes....
Cut the kernals off the cob....
Put it in bags and mark them....
And finally, off to the freezer...
So now you can appreciate all the work that goes into the cute little package of corn that you grab out of the freezer. :)

Life Is Good...

Just thought I'd share some pictures of our life lately. Enjoy!
















This is how Megan sleeps. She sits up and then
lays over her legs. :)














Nothing like a good popsicle!!














I don't know if Keith, or Owen was having more fun. :)

Kristyn insisted that I take a picture of her toe. Silly girl!

Off To College....

Our Leesie-Pooh, got off to college today. It's been great having her here with us for the last few months. I know God has wonderful plans for her life and we are SO proud of her!!!

Many people do not know, but she writes beautiful poems. She rarely lets anyone read them, but the few that I have read are just precious! She surprised me the other day with this beautiful page that she had framed. I am very humbled by the poem she wrote for me. You might have to click on the picture for it to be big enough to read.

Thank you, Elise!

We love you, Elise, and are VERY proud of you!!

This and That...

School starts for Keith in 2 days....Elise leaves tomorrow....what a busy time!!!

Owen found a new playground!
If we all work together, how happy we'll be...
I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.... (even with Chickenpox) This picture doesn't show them very well, but she really was COVERED, and miserable. :(

This was the day before the Chickenpox.
Owen brushing a goat.


Owen was really concerned about this sleeping goat.

Kristyn playing in the "mist-er". (No, it wasn't the elephant's truck)
Ewwww!!!
Isn't he beautiful?

How Time Flies...

It's hard to believe summer is almost over. We've been busy packing up Elise and trying to get everything ready for her to leave for college. :( I was able to get some more pictures of our time in KS, so I thought I'd share them with you.


Kristyn, Hailey and Rachel (Kyle and Mandy's)
Our other Mom with her grands. :)

Megan was so funny with this ear of corn, she couldn't quite figure it out.



There must be food in there somewhere. :)

Ewwwww!! Elise stayed with Kristyn and Owen on our anniversary while we went out to eat and they got in a mud fight.

Last, but not least, my "deal of the day!" We went to Lowe's the other night and I saw these lamps and COULD NOT believe my eyes. They were originally $39.95 each and the shades were $29.??. They were on sale for $3.99 for the lamps and $1.98 for the shades! What a deal!!
