Parade and Fun run!

The older boys were in the local parade today with their youth group.

4 yo DD playing on the play ground while we were waiting for the parade to begin.

Sitting and waiting for the parade to begin with the littles!

Then they had a fun run! 8 and 4 yo getting ready to run the quarter mile!

They sprayed the kiddos down at the beginning and the end of the run!

11 yo almost to the finish line of the quarter mile run!

8 yo DD almost to the finish line of the quarter mile run.

Garden Pickings!

This is my first real picking of beans. I ended up with 15 quarts in just this one picking.

I canned 13 quarts of peaches and 2 quarts of peach juice when I canned up the green beans.

Some of my other pickings from my garden.

16 year old's Birthday!

He had been working hauling wood and cleaning out chicken coops so he was all sweaty and dirty.

Burn Pile and Garden!

We accumulated a HUGE burn pile when we remodeled the kitchen and cleaned out some of the house and yard.

We waited until it had rained the night before and was threatening rain for most of the day so that it would not burn to fast and catch the grass on fire.

It burned down pretty quickly!

A couple pictures of my garden. My garden did pretty crappy this year! It was so wet at the beginning of the season that everything drowned. The puddles and mud made it near impossible to get in and weed or till around the plants. I have gotten some green beans but everything else didn't produce much of anything.

14 year old's Birthday!

We went swimming at the pond and then went back to my mom's house to have dinner and an ice cream cake for 14 yo DS and my niece turned 3 the day before 14 yo's birthday so we celebrated them both at the same time.
