Post Christmas



Another Christmas, another year has come and gone. The last event to finish out the year is Sammy's 8th birthday! Where has the time gone???? It just blows our mind that Jared is 11, sixth grade, on his way to the 'other side' next year; this is his last year in Awana. Sammy is... what can I say, he is Sam. All boy, rough and tough, he's going to be the quiet handsome one. Kenly turned five this summer and started Kindergarten, she is learning all the site words and starting to read; her whole world is opening up. If only we didn't get any older.

We ended December 2009 with the birth of Angel. Dallas was born in late January but didn't survive - Pete was in Texas and I was rendered helpless in an effort to save her. In February Sami came right before the 2 blizzards. Paddy came along right below St. Patricks day; and April well she arrived in April. I guess 4 out of 5 isn't too bad.

Joseph was just born this week, and we're only expecting 3 come Spring; these should be 'baldies' since their daddy is a BIG red hereford.

Nothing much


I was going to delete the Blizzard Videos, but I'd thought I'd leave them until Summer's end; just in case we happen to forget.

Spring has Sprung

My oh my how time truly flies! Can't believe it was 3 months ago when we were buried in 4 feet of snow. The tulips and daffodils have already finished their dance; now the roses are unfolding their beautiful layers.

All is well here on the farm. Nothing new or exciting. The kids are growing, way too fast now. The garden is still under control. The cows are happy grazing. Pete is trying his best to keep all the farmers 4 counties far and wide, happy and moving.
My mother has been with us for 4 months now. All is well there too.
And me, I do what I do best; a little bit of everything, everywhere :)

Jared is playing baseball once again - he pitched a great no-hitter this week.
Sam got a black eye on Tuesday.
Kenly is busy doing what little girls do.
We are counting down the days til summer vacation.

They are calling it a "Storm of Historic Proportions"


Kinda of makes me mad, that last weekend, I finally deleted all my "old" photos from the computer then I could have shared my photos from the last "storm of historic proportions" from February 2003 and the only reason I remember it, is because our Sammy was just a month old! WOW has time passed, now 7 years old and growing like a weed and conquering 1st grade!

Wishing everyone a great weekend, be safe!

Behind the times

Ok, I'll admit it, facebook has taken up a lot of my time; thus I've failed to keep the blog updated.

Time is flying for sure. Sammy just turned 7 on 12/31 and then lost his first tooth last week! Now all of a sudden he looks 3 inches taller and older. Jared is doing good in his school work, struggling with the "study" factor, but keeping those grades up. Kenly is just happy doing whatever we do.

What a wonderful winter. Just love all the snow, makes it really "feel" like winter instead of just boring dead brown outside. The seed catalogs are arriving almost 2 a day now, hard to believe it's right around the corner.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic New Year thus far !!
Love to you all.
