Thursday

Hi there - been a busy week, Friday night we went to Millington and had Jeremy's mom, Len, his brother, Chris and his family and Jenni and her girls out for Christopher's birthday. We had a campfire, and some cake and ice cream. The kids had a great time playing out in cornfield in the dark, scaring each other. Isaac had the kids convinced there was a wolf in the corn field. Jeremy and Chris went out and tried scaring them all to death. Needless to say, everyone slept great that night! Saturday, we mowed, disced the fields, getting ready for hay hopefully. While I was mowing out back, a big buck ran right out in front of me and he had a nice rack! Very pretty, in velvet and all! Later that night, we visited with the neighbors across the street, the kids had fudgsicles and Mrs. Hebner gave me her gift for new neighbors, a pretty pitcher with matching cups in 4 different colors! She is so sweet! Sunday, Jeremy worked on a trail in the woods with the backhoe and stacked wood along the trail to use for firewood this winter. We will bring it up and store it by the barn eventually. It was great weather all weekend and we had a good time. I came home Sunday night and made cocoa-pies for cousin Rudy. The house was very smoky! They were good, but I'm glad I don't make them very often - very messy and greasy! This is one of the weeks we begin working Saturdays. We've gotten home at 5:30 every night, so just getting things done and going to bed pretty much! Tonight, the kids and I went to Heathers and rode Gent, cleaned the stalls, etc. while Jeremy went to Millington. Mrs. Jurva is beginning to can some green beans from our garden. Lord willing, we'll have lots more but the aphids are taking over out there, unfortunately! They really like green bean plants and beans! Hopefully our tomatoes will start turning red soon!

Well, have a great Friday and I will post again soon with pictures. Brooke put a ponytail in Lyndsay's hair today, very cute!
