A Bit Discouraging

Sorry to everyone that is waiting for pictures to be posted. For some reason blogger is not allowing me to upload pictures, yes, it does get very discouraging. I have so many pictures to post and new things keep happening that I need to post about, but I am unable to. Jared turned 10 yesterday and Mom & Dad and Micah & Jenny had there anniversary earlier this month. I am so busy right now that I hardly have the time to sit down and figure it out. I will try to get posts coming again as soon as possible!! Hope you all have a great day, and sorry again!!
Your blogger, Joylin

Home Again!

Sorry, I left without telling you where I was going. I have been gone, so that is the reason for the rather boring blog! I am home again, so hopefully that will change! :)

Home at last from our excursions... exhausted from our journey. We drove 27 hours straight through on the way home. Joanna isn't in this pic, cause she beat us to the porch! :) 

We will start with Joanna's trip, since hers started before any of ours.
On the way to Canada Joanna got to stop in at Yellow Stone National Park.

In Canada at last!

Having a blast!! 

Joanna stayed with Jessica for 4 weeks.

This is a rather short post, but I am still getting pictures together and trying to figure out what to post first lol I will be posting more pictures when I get them all together!

Lots of Fruit and Chores

We have been getting tons of raspberries. We have to pick them every other day and we get just about this much each time. With 9 lbs of raspberries there is lots of things that you can make, pies, jelly, smoothies, icecream, muffins, pancakes and the list could go on. We are loving these raspberries!!

Picking apples.. All these apple pictures Jared took, so all the credit goes to him!! :) He is becoming and awesome photographer and I think it is going to come natural for him!
Dustin was here, so he got to help the boys pick apples. Sadly this is the only tree that we got fruit from this year. Our late freezes killed the other fruits. 

Lots of yummy apples!!

I found a big apple!! :)

The boys put together a little gift for the mailman. :)

I put a quick video together of doing the neighbors chores. I didn't get any pictures of the couple hundred chickens and the rabbits or the dog. But these are a few pics of us walking and feeding the goats.
Enjoy :)

In The Garden

We have started a really big garden! We have green beans, soy beans, potatoes and tomatoes coming up so far.

The guys have been staying busy putting in a sprinkler system.

Here comes a huge load of mulch!! 

Unloading it...

Once they got the mulch laid out we planted sweet corn, rows and rows of it!!

Jesse and I planting corn.

Jared covering it up.

Raking rows...

Sweet corn!

Jesse hard at work!!

Our beautiful garden! :)

Sweet Mommy and Daddy! :)

Busy Busy Busy!!!! :)

It's coming along! :)
Did you happen to notice the awesome clouds and rain in the sky? And did you notice how dry it is around our place? Yes, we have been being missed by almost all the rain this year so far. We are praying that our turn will come soon, cause we could really use it!! 

Pet Care 4 U Update

Pet Care 4 U is just as busy as ever. We get new customers almost every week and then we have the dogs that we have seen many, many times. Koda is a huge puppy and not everyone likes to play with him, so when a dog comes along that will play with him he thinks his piece of heaven has finally come. 

Zodie enjoying the fun!

Jenny has pitched in and is helping me while Joanna is gone.

Lately we finally put down a real fine rock in all our kennels. Justin and Dustin helped me scrape out a lot of the dirt before we put in the rock.

I am loving it!! No more mud when it rains and the dogs stay a lot cleaner.

The dogs love it too!!

"Will you play with me?"

We have been having lots of dogs, plus I have been staying busy with the neighbors chores. I will try to post some pics soon!

Until then, have a great day!!

Engaged!!

Last week Jaylon flew back to surprise Hannah. He didn't just surprise her, but he asked her to marry him as well. She said yes, so the wedding plans are in the air. It is so sweet to see that my big brother has finally found the one that he is going to spend the rest of his life with. I have gained two brothers in the past, but now I finally gain a sister! :)
Congratulations to you both!! :)
