I have picked sever bushels of cucumbers ,green beens,

Peppers and squash. This was a rare day having Sydnie

Toothless Sydnie

After many nights crying that she was the only kid in her class that hasn't lost a tooth, it finally happened! Sydnie lost her first tooth.

Our tooth fairy left her a golden dollar, we have a very frugal tooth fairy

You've Been Egged!

Tonight for family home evening we "egged" some friends home. The kids had a great time getting the plastic eggs filled with candy and planning for this fun evening.

We got in the van with our buckets filled ready to hit the first door.

Even Dad got into the spirit, as our "get away driver"

We left a note that said "You've Been Egged, now go egg someone else". Then the kids would knock and run.

Hunter, Happy Birthday! We love you!

Family that works together stays together!

I guess you would like to know the rest of the story... the sheet rockers are done now down to the paint job! I think David has more helping hands than he needs.

We all know the old Primary song, "When We're Helping" we are happy... Tra La La La La La

Look at these bright eye! I am not sure which one was more excited, Cooper or David?

Hunter and I thought there were too many painters in the room, we just watched and enjoyed!

Next we will be painting the base boards, then off to pick out the carpet.

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

We all know this famous story; Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even... oh what is that I hear above my head? David, nailing in boards up in the attic.

Yes, my wonderful husband is at it again! I thought that we were done with home projects for a while. Well, that lasted about a week or so...

David, feels that he need to have a "man cave", so off he went to Home Depot to buy 2X4 and started to pound away up stairs. He has been working every night this week until midnight or later, and then would start again at 5 am. Needless to say, I feel that I have had a constant headache for the past week.

Lets get back to the story, Twas the night before Christmas, when all throuh the house, the pipes for the heating and airconditioning were run. The sheet rock were hung by the window with care, in hopes that it would be done before Kristie pulled out all her hair.


Merry Christmas to all!

Down on the Farm

Cooper petting the little one!











Hunter and Sydnie "wishing" they could take them home...

As many have heard me talk about our next door neighbor’s goats who love to eat my magnolia tree and garden, well there are more!

I got a call earlier in the week from our neighbor, Natasha letting me know they had 5 baby goats, and wanted to have the kids come over to see the baby goats and feed them.

I wasn’t sure how the kids would take to them, since they are so scared of any little animal that comes within 5 feet of them.

David came home on Tuesday night and I gave him the task of taking all three of them to go see the baby goats.

They all really enjoyed getting to hold and feed the “kids”, even Cooper enjoyed it.

Now they all want goats for Christmas, I don't think Santa will have enough room in this toy bag!
