10th Halloween Party

Just a couple of shots from our Halloween Party.

Rain!!!

Mark this on your calender. It is raining in Southern Illinois. We have been dry for a while now and this rain is wonderful. But it comes a little late for the garden and the hay field. Oh well, the grass will grow now and that means I will have to mow once again. The horses are even enjoying it. Munching on grass while all the dirt and dust gets washed off of them.

Up Till Now...

Well it has been another couple of months since my last post. We have been having fun at the pool, going on vacation, and chillin with friends. Brooke has started first grade and loves it. Sydney is a typical toddler. Getting into everything. Here are just a few pictures from the summer

Boogie Woogie Girl

On Sat. May 30th, we attended Aaron's cousin's wedding. (The kids went with us of course.) Sydney is like me. She likes her sleep. She and I were ready to go to bed around 9pm. Brooke is like her dad. I think she could stay up all night long. She also gets her dance moves from him. She didn't want to stop dancing. Here is a short video of her on the floor bustin a move.



She cracks me up!!!!

What a weekend

This past weekend seemed very long. Friday started out with just Aaron and I and some friends heading out for dinner and some drinks. Nothing too exciting. Saturday we were off to out friends annual Memorial Party. Not too long of a night. The food was excellent, the kids played hard, and I came home with a few new bug bites. Sunday we headed out in the afternoon for a 4wheeler ride. It was a great ride. I can't wait for the next one. Monday was supposed to be a day of rest by the pool. Me and the kids did sit by the pool, (while trying to dodge the rain drops). It was not a day for swimming although I did manage to get a little sun.

Anyway, I took pictures but I am just a little lazy to get them up. Maybe later.

It's been FOREVER!!!

Well it had been about 5 months since my last post. We have been doing the usual stuff around the house now that spring has arrived. The yard has been fertilized and mowed, flowers have been planted, (well a few), and the hummingbirds are back. On the days it is nice Sydney and I have been outside a lot enjoying the warm air. Lately the rain has been chasing us back inside. Like right now, we have had almost 2 inches of rain so it will take about 3 days to dry out enough to venture back into the yard. We still have lot of holes with mud in them around, but its getting better.

Brooke has almost finished her first year of school. 1st grade is right around the corner. School lets out the end of May. I think she is excited but I'm not. My baby is growing older by the moment. Before long she will be one of those horrible teens with PMS all the time.

Sydney is growing too. She is turning into my little monster. So much different than Brooke was.


Anyway, life is great here on the farm!! Here are are some pictures from the past 6 months.
