This And That

Hey everyone, I'm back! :) I had a wonderful time with friends and family at the annual Saskamp in Canada.... which I don't have pictures of. :/ I guess you could say I was too busy having fun! ;)  It was sad to leave, but in other thoughts it's nice to be home again.
I drove up with the Amalongs and some friends, it was a total of about 28 hours.

P.S. Sorry for bad quality pictures most of them were taken by phones...
After driving for about 23 hours, we got out and stretched our legs before crossing the border.
Chick-Fil-A stop, before heading out again.
I surprised a very good friend, who had no idea I was coming.
An old house we found while out quading together... after trying for some time to prop my ipod up, we finally got a picture! 
Enjoying our time together! :D
I couldn't get over how beautiful the Canola fields were! 

Playing a group game with some of the young people.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my little cuties!  
My time went way too fast! But over all I had an unforgettable trip! ;)
Justin and Kaitlyn picked me up from the Phoenix airport in the little red truck, that has no AC, and you can only imagine how hot it was! Long story short, that little spray bottle kept us from baking!
Joylin was glad to have me home again to help with milk drops.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While I was gone I missed out on our annual branding on the ranch. 

The guys helping out.
The little kids giving it a try.
Lots of hungry mouths to feed.
9 square, a game that any age can enjoy.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A feed mixer that the boys are very happy to have,  after mixing the feed by hand for months.

Our handsome and once small brother is turning into a young man. Happy 12th Birthday Jesse, we love you! 
Our corn patch in the garden is getting tall.
It's even tall enough to hide in! :)
We are beginning to get berries now.
We try and get them picked in the morning, before it gets too hot.
Mom is very proud of her flower patch.
We have gotten a few rains, and the cows are enjoying the green field.
Little blue eyed cutie! 
Jubilee loves our turkeys.
She calls them "Moon and Star".... LOL the names she comes up with!




Well that's all for now folks! Thanks for stopping by!

Pictures From Here & There


Life has been quite busy these past few weeks.  
For this post I'll try to recap some of it here for you all to see :)

One Sunday afternoon we went up to Turkey Creek for a little hike...

...and to dip our feet in the creek :)


The boys, along with Jaylon, Hannah, Kyle, Justin, Kaitlyn, Micah, and Micah David, enjoyed a fishing trip up to Bonnie Tank for a few days.


-------------------------------

The boys and Dad got a job building this fence for some friends.


---------------------------------

Horny Toads are out! Almost ran over one the other day on the road.

-----------------------------

Joshua built and stained the frame and then all the boys helped put the puzzle together.  It looks really cool hanging in their room!

I've never really thought I enjoyed sewing that much until a few days ago I decided to make a skirt.  Two days and three skirts later I've discovered I like to sew! haha  

-------------------------------

We all love cuddling this little fella!  He's growing up way to fast for our liking!  Crawling all over the place and pulling himself up on anything he can! I'm leaving for Canada for three weeks and am really going to miss him!

------------------------------------

Joshua's been going to work with Justin in the mornings when they need him to rake hay.


He drives the semi sometimes when they need help hauling bales out of the field.

-------------------------------

:: perfect fluffy clouds ::


Evening rains...


See the partial rainbow on the left?

-----------------------------------------

Instead of spending a lot on buying the expansion for seafarers, the boys made all the pieces themselves. It turned out really cool!

These games can get pretty intense! 

--------------------------------------------

Joshua recently got his permit, another driver in the house! 

-------------------------------


The little guys around here LOVE to be read to! :)

Cleaning the floor while Jubilee takes advantage of the row of chairs and reads to all her babies.

::cheese::

Everyone have a wonderful week!
