Summer on the farm...

We recently returned from our visit to my parents in Chugwater. What had a great time we had visiting my family--grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins too! Thank you for your exceptional hospitality, mom, dad, Angie and John! On a side note, I have the whole photo album loaded onto my facebook because it is so much faster and easier. So, if you aren't content with this footage, add me as your friend. And yes, mom I'm sure you can figure it out! ;)


Our best attempt at a family picture against the beautiful Wyoming sky.
(Yea right!!! But this truly depicts or life. Isn't it great!)

Our baby, Caden, is now 3 months old. How time flies!
He is so smiley, loves everyone, and nearly sleeps through the night! Yea!
(And NO, Uncle Mike, I know what you're thinking.)

Our latest

The boys and I have been down visiting "ama" & "papa" this past week (until I'm not sure when). (I'm so happy that Brock joined us today!) I'm not able to upload photos of our recent activities but we've been having a great time. Lots of time spent outside enjoying farm life. It is so great for me to be able to share so much of who I am with my boys. We also had a great 4th of July helping John and Angie lay sod around their new home. It looks beautiful!

On a not so happy note, my dad's bountiful wheat and hay crop(one he says only comes around once in 30 years) was destroyed by a severe hail storm last Thursday afternoon. He says that he is anticipating a 80% loss at least. It breaks my heart to see the hardest working man I know loose everything despite his meticulous, dedicated, and best intentioned efforts. Please pray for my parents spirits. (But don't call...they are burnt out of retelling the story.)
