Thanks to some chirping from a little birdie (Susanna!) ....I am finaly updating this dusty blog. Cant believe the date I last updated! (blush! blush!)
A picture from early this spring when we were getting the garden ready My two favorite guys working together!
Ready to leave on a date with daddy!
This picture has a story behind it! Would you believe it that these two happy beautiful faces were scowling and angry moments before...speaking unkind words at each other! The consequense: They had to sit snuggled beside each other holding hands while mommy set the timer for a certain amount of time. They were not allowed to speak unless it was loving words like, "You are such a kind sister...Im so glad you are my brother....you are my BEST friend!" etc. It worked wonders and we were all bursting as the grumpies turned into giggles!
Cousin tea party time!
Derek's first visit to the dentist.
Cousins remembering sweet Jadrian..
This is where I found Karilee one hot afternoon.....asleep on the front porch!
Our first try at raising meat birds. we started with 50 and ended with 43. It was a good experiance, Derek loved the responsibility of feeding them. Not sure if we'll do them again, it got pretty stinky and dirty towards the end :( but we sure are grateful for the freezer full of meat!
Another first, was a big garden. It started off pretty but with the lack of rain it looks rather dejected now. The children love playing in it and finding new goodies to pick.
Precious Kianna! How fast she's growing and changing! She just turned 8 month and crawls all over the place and walks along furniture. We think she has a feisty little spirit in her! She sure is a package of joy!!
