Fall 2009

It has come to my attention that my blog needs some updating . . . well, here are a few pictures from this fall and our trip to MT. No winter weather here yet - we are anxious to go sledding or build a snowman or something!

Checking Hay with Daddy

With 3rd Cutting about half done . . . the kids & I decided to join Josh in checking Hay the other night.

Setting up the Dew Alarm

Trapper knows exactly what he's doing.



Picking a Few Plums

Enjoying Fresh Plums on the way home.

Goodbye to Summer

After leaving us alone all summer, the deer have decided to take care of the garden & flowers. We're trying to protect the tomato plants for a few more days . . . but I guess it would have been the frost before too long anyway.

A Couple of Kids

Another Fair!

Josh has been so busy with 2nd cutting & now combining . . . the kids and I are doing our best to keep busy. Last Friday we went to the fair with a couple of our friends.

A Date!

The other night - Josh & I were able to enjoy an evening without kids and with some new friends . . . A wonderful Crab Dinner.

Where is Summer Going?

We have had a very busy last couple of weeks. We went camping the weekend before last for 2 nights, came home to some sad news and made a quick, unexpected trip to Wyoming. Our kids sure our troopers as we are so lucky that we can put them in the pickup and they travel so well.

We are home now - and 2nd cutting has started . . . here we go again!

Trip to MT

The kids and I went to MT last week - lots of fun with Grandpa & Grandma & cousins . . . Quiana just doesn't understand why we have to live so far away.

A Little Gardening

Last night the kids & Josh planted a few carrots.


Packing the seeds down

Ah! The first "almost" Red Ripe Strawberry

Trapper's 1st Fishing Trip

We have finally started catching some fish out of the little pond in front of our house . . . Josh & Trapper sure seem to enjoy it!

HELP!

Not that anyone can really help me . . . but I've lost the charger for my camera. Of course the battery is dead and I haven't been able to take pictures. The kids have been extremely busy farming, taking motorcycle rides (thanks to Tony), farming, helping in the yard, farming, playing in the creek and more farming. . .

Uncle Kenny is here for the weekend and we're all so excited to have company. "Maybe" he brought his camera.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could look for my charger? I'm sure it got tucked away in what Josh would call one of my "cleaning frenzies." Oops!

2 Years Ago . . .

We welcomed Trapper into our little family.


One Year Old

Now I think we're at the terrible two's ;-)

What a great addition he is!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAPPER

Pear Blossom

The kids and I had a fun weekend in Medford with my parents and Kenny. Mom & I ran the 5K and Dad and Kenny ran the 10 mile. Thanks Mom, Dad & Bro for keeping me company at the race!



Apparently, Josh kept himself busy doing some yard work (pulling out bushes, etc.) that I had been wanting done. Now, I have a project getting it all back together. I'll post some pictures once I've done my part!

Trapper's Party

We had an early birthday party last night for Trapper since Grandma is here. He was pretty excited about his Loader Cake and all of the new "equipment" he got . . . Trapper definitely is a Farmer's son.

Trapper and the girls (And a lucky Farmer's son at that!)

Elk

I'm really trying to convince Josh that I need a new camera so I can take better wildlife pictures from our deck. Dont' you think??

Swimming Lessons

Quiana started swimming lessons this week - so far she is really enjoying them.

A little chit chat one the side of the pool.

Getting ready to jump.


Trapper was more than happy to be left behind with daddy.
