Finally 2-wheelin'!

Yesterday we finally took off the training wheels! We knew he could do it, he just didn't have the confidence in himself. He took off with no problem! He goes a little to fast for my liking though. Better keep the Aflac accidental insurance out a little longer :)

Fishin in the Dark!

Friday night I got to see one of my favorite bands - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band! The concert was great - I love these guys!

Never Bored

My kids are never bored! Here they are cleaning the woods, which they have a long way to go! They were using a rope and hooking up sticks to their pedal loader and hauling them to a burn pile. They had a friend over helping them and such a good time.

Fair Time

Last week was the county fair. My DH's boy took FFA pigs for the first time. He did very well and did a good job showing, especially since it was his first time. He ended up getting champion on the pen of three.

Scrap!

Since I have titled this blog live, laugh, love, Scrap, I should share some scrapping layouts. Some of these were done at my cousin's retreat "up north" and some were done in my basement on a hot day. I've been enjoying playing with my Cricut and the software SCAL, it can do amazing things!







I want to add that we will be doing a "Crop for the Cure" on November 22. Email me for more information!

Mom turns 80!

Mom turned 80 on July 2nd and we had a wonderful birthday party for her. 115 of her closest friends and family attended! We had a simple supper and a cake with sparklers! We all did a lot of visiting with friends and relatives, some we don't see often and some we see every day. Relatives came from as far as North Dakota and it was fun visiting (and shopping!) with them.

I took over 200 pictures of the event! way to many to go through and post on here, plus some people may not want their photo splashed all over the internet. If you would like to see them, shoot me an email and I will send you the link to view them on Dotphoto.

Thanks to those of you who came to the party and helped make the night one my mom will never forget!

Way, Way Behind!

Seems like I'm way behind in everything these days! just can't catch up! We are now in the midst of Bible School so that takes up every night. I'll start trying to get my blog caught up.
