Catching Up...

I know it's been a long time since I've updated, so I'll "tell" you all about what's been going on. (But like my dear hubby tells me, just let the pictures do the talking!!) :)


Nothing like a good old swing!

Arthur's 14 lb cat fish! Can you tell he's proud of it? Good job, Arthur!
Berry pickin' time! These are little plums. We picked LOTS of them. Now we have to figure out what to make with them. :)

Fall is definately in the air. The nights are getting cooler and the flowers are starting to fall. :(

There's nothing quite like running through a field of flowers on a sunny day!
Gathering eggs at a friends house. She really took it seriously! :)
Owen found himself a friend.....one that would drive him around the yard over and over again. Can you tell he's pleased?

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to a reunion and took our tent this time. We had such a great time.

Getting ready for the day.
Our little "tent-ville"
The kids had a great time playing in the creek!
Does anyone claim the person in the back of this picture??? (A-hem...that would have been a great picture)
Kaylee and Tori!

Well, that just about does it, I think. Thanks for checking in on us. While you're here leave a comment, we love to read them!

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?
