Boy pictures

Well, if Elizabeth can do a whole post on cute boy pictures... so can I! You will have to come up with the captions for these yourself though!







Rain and puddles

Playing in the rain... one early morning.
The next day....
These boots are hard to walk in!

Well, maybe the boots are not too bad

All natural, certified organic mud

Lets throw some at Mom!

The End!

Butchering..

May is over and it was a full month. We have enjoyed a much cooler spring than last year, along with a lot of rain. On source I read said over 11 inches! The middle of may found our first batch of broilers ready to butcher. Starting early in the day, we butchered from 9-12 took a break and then finished from 4-7. With our amazing help from the Ulmers and the time saving speed of the plucker Scott built last year, we managed to do 88 birds in that time! Everything went really well and we have our next batch growing! Moses, our catch and kill man

Tabitha "wrapped things up"... haha :)

Fun at the park

Saturday while we were down in Parsons, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and have a picnic lunch at the park. After eating we let the boys run around, and I think I had as much fun as they did!
What's this Mom?
Fun!!!

Paul LOVED the slides- and was quite brave

Cousins!

Hi Dad!!

Paul would go down this one by himself! (With Dad at the bottom!)

Swinging with Mom

Thanks Andrew and Rebecca

This past weekend we enjoyed a great visit down at the Shepards. We arrived Friday afternoon and did not have to be home until Sunday evening. We talked, played cards, went to the park, and enjoyed fellowship at their church. We always look forward to going down and are so thankful for their hospitality. Thanks guys! We had fun!Aunt Rebecca and Marcus

Reading... what a fun book!

Paul and Justice spent about 45 minutes one morning playing ball in the the "big room". Although it looks like Paul is quite the ball hog, (ok, maybe a little true) he did share and they had a great time!

Here is comes!

Gentle to the baby....

Early morning affection.... So sweet!
