Thanks so much for helping me to celebrate my 5oth POST!!!!

To you and yours!

From our family to yours. I hope every one has a wonderful day, and enjoys the freedoms that we as American's have come to enjoy. We will be celebrating the day as a family, and may end up making it to a BBQ. We've got some fireworks, and I'm so ready for the kids to have fun enjoying them.
We went lastnight, and did the whole commercial Fireworks show, and the kids had a blast watching them. Kaitlynn didn't even fuss during them. I figured for sure they'd scare her, but she did great!!!!______________________________________ On another note.......so you all want to know my surprise........and I think I may be ready to tell you........okay so I know on with it already right??? So here's the scoop. My next post will be my 50th post. I can't belive it already, it's about like all the things that have happend in the last year! So for my 50th post I will be doing a give away!!!!! So NO I'm not pregnant, I'd be crazy if I was!!!! There is just NO way I'd be ready considering all we've got to go through yet with Kaitlynn's helmet trips! Time will tell with that one, but let's get through the first two years! (and that's a hint to anyone who thinks they need to ask me if I am preggers in the next year and 2 months!!!!!)

WOW, WOW, WUBBZY!

Okay so you put Surprise in the title, and EVERYONE wants to know!!!! But the question is how long do I want you to wait???? Maybe it's days, maybe it's weeks...but we all know it's not months or years, well because I probably couldn't keep a seceret that long!!!!

All I have to say is I'll be letting you all know in due time, in due time! You'll just have to keep checking back here in the next few days/weeks for the answer!!!

------------------------------------------

The fireworks are here, and I'm sick of them already. Okay so I'm mainly just sick of the idiodic parents that buy fireworks for their kids, and then let them go about setting them off all day/night long. Tonight after tucking the kids in for a long nights sleep, I headed off to take my shower for the day, and come up to find one little monkey...not sleeping at all. When I got to her room she was sitting there crying because their were Fireworks in her room, and they were loud and she couldn't sleep. I felt so bad for her, so I told her it would be okay, and she went to sleep shortly. Thank goodness they were over for the night! She loves to watch the things but when she can't see them out her window, she kind of freaks out!

So everyone what are your plans for the 4th?

Our Weekend...and Surprise!!!!

Hello everyone? We've been quit busy this weekend! Joel's work had thier anual family company picnic on Sat. and so we decided to go and enjoy the food. They have kids games in the morning, and then lunch, and then they play B-I-N-G-O for prizes after lunch, along with adult games after the prizes are gone. Last year Joel about gave up because he wasn't winning, and said that he wouldn't win so he'd thrown his card in the air. After a little convincing he decided that he'd try one more time! Well we ended up comming home with a 6' step ladder. This year was about the same, except for the throwing his card in the air. I was getting pretty close a few times, but Joel wasn't having much luck. Then one game I was sucking it up, and he wasn't. We ended up comming home with a tie down for the truck and trailers. So all in all it was a good fun day. The kids had a blast playing on the jumpy things and the carnival rides.


Sunday was going to be laid back, but then Joel realized that the hay needed to be baled. BUT of course the stinkin baler wouldn't work right again, and after a little working, we decided we'd take the kids fishing. This was our first time fishing as a family, and Joel and I's first time together as a couple. So we needed fishing poles and all the stuff required to go fishing!!! Off we headed to the lake after a short pit stop to by all things fish. It took a while to find the perfect spot, but once we did things went okay. We didn't catch much...okay so it was only one, and I was the lucky winner! But the poor little guy was way too small, so we let him go. We ALL ended up with a little sun burn, even Kaitlynn who I'd lathered up in sun block.

I'll put up a few pictures of our adventures!! Enjoy!

Little Miss Atitude!!!!

This is my FAVORITE Picture of the whole day!!! (and I mean the hubby and kids!)

*SHHH promise not to tell???? I've got a surprise comming up, and I can't wait to share it with you!!!

Bale'n Hay

So here are the pictures from Bale'n! I love this time of year, but I HATE this time of year! If we're doing small squares, which Dahrran is pushing over here, I Always. Get. Stuck. Driving. And then when we get them all loaded up, I get stuck unloading them to the ground so they can put them on the conveyor into the Barn. But if we do big rounds, which we ended up doing because the square baler broke down, I don't have to do ANYTHING! Just sit back. Relax. Enjoy. And well of course make supper. That's the one thing I get out of doing when we do small squares!

The sad part about all these pictures, we didn't even finish baling, because the grass hay got too tough, and wouldn't work right in the baler. And then it rained, and then the Round baler broke, and then it's rained some more, and now we're just getting the piece for the baler tomarrow! So Hopefully. Just Hopefully. We'll finished getting the stuff baled by Sunday.


He's HE-MAN, I swear. He can push them over with no problems!!!!

MacKenzie on the other hand would just prefer to check and see if it's ready to bale!

I'm telling ya, she got bored with Walking. So she decided to ride with mommy. "Yeah daddy, we hear you, keep putting them on there."

Then the square baler broke down, and my little sister got squirrly! This is what the heat will do to you!
But I realized that it was a Great place to take a picture, so I did!
And that is One. Tired. Man. He was so tired, and just ready to be done, but what do you do when the hay isn't ready!?

And well I just had to throw this last one in here, because their wern't any of Kaitlynn from Bale'n! She sat in the back of the truck for a while, and then it just got too hot, so she went home with Grandma Kathy!

Have a good weekened everyone!!!!!

First Things First!

Crystal over at Little Bit Funky dared me to post my MESSIEST picture, and well even though I'm not proud of it here it goes!!!! This was earlier this year, and now that we've got some of the baby stuff out of the living room it's a little better. . . I like a WELL lived in house, and not spotless. Then again with three kids under 6 do you blame me???

So like Crystal, I'm DARING you to post your messiest picture!!!! Link back to Little Bit Funky and comment to Crystal!! Have fun!


*PS* I plan on getting the bale'n pictures up tonight, I've tried for the last two days and it won't take my stinkin pictures!

Tackle it Tuesday

Here was my Tackle it Tuesday project!!!!!!

We decided last year to plant a strawberry bed, and BOY did it produce this year. We've had strawberries coming out of our ears!! We ate quite a few of them, but they were getting more than we wanted to eat. So I had strawberries sitting in my fridge just Begging to be made into Jam! so that's what we did!!!!

Mushing up the berries
