Monsoons

Our monsoons are finally here and this year they are not leaving us out. We have gotten over 8 inches of rain this year so far. I love this time of year when everything turns green. Our garden is growing in leaps and bounds.
Juliana came to stay with us!! We had a great time. Her and Joanna went mudding and got really muddy. :)

Time to spray off!! :)
Micah David running through the puddles.
"splash"
Justin is home from Indiana, I don't remember if I even said he had left. :/ Anyway, he went to Still Waters Camp, and now Joanna left for her camp at Still Waters. It is lonely around here with out her and she has only been gone two days. Hopefully two weeks will go by pretty fast! This summer has been crazy with travelling! 
The red mites always come out after a rain.

Puddle fun?

...more like puddle bathing. :)

A terrible dust storm... 
Justin and I ran out quick to milk the cow before the storm hit. We were too late and got caught in a down pour. We were under a roof but the wind was blowing so hard that we still got drenched. I was laughing so hard. I had the advantage of being on the right side of the cow and was staying somewhat dry. Justin on the other hand was on the bad side with water just running off of him. :) I think we will milk the cow a little earlier next time! :)

Well, that's all for now. Hope you all are enjoying the rain as well! :)

Happy 9th Birthday Jesse!!

Crazy to think our baby brother is growing up so fast. He is such a little helper around the house and is a great baby sitter for his little sister. I brought the boys over to have a treasure hunt and to have a water balloon fight.

Happy Birthday little bro, we all love you very much!!
