Abby Lyn Turns Two!

Happy Birthday to our Little Miss Abby Lyn! She turned TWO today! We talked to her tonight (via Skype) - I think she had a great day celebrating. We love you Abby!

Dax's blessing day - Sept. 13, 2009

Papa Great LOVED to have Abby come and visit. (Dec. 2008)

Hot Time - (Hot Dogs Anyone?)

This is what Mark and I did today - played with fire! (We had a permit so it was legal!) After I took these pictures I had to stand behind the white shed it was so hot. It didn't take long to burn up all those limbs, leaves, etc. We should have had some hot dogs ready!

(I know it's a lame post - just documenting!)

Busy, Busy, Busy

Reese got to spend a weekend with us again - so much fun!

Mark keeping track of business at the fair.

The Log Shed all cleaned out

It seems like there's never enough hours in the day to get everything done - (but I certainly don't want anymore! )
We made it through another Box Elder County Fair and survived! It's always a highlight of this county. We did a booth again this year and felt it was successful. Katie, Jed, Tawnya, Jessica and the kids came up and helped us out! It's always fun to have the kids come up. They are long days (and nights) but fun for the most part. We sure enjoy our "old" friends from previous "show steer" days stopping by our booth and visiting with us. Those were fun years when our girls showed steers at the county fair.
School started the following Monday after the fair so I'm back to work! I love the ladies I work with and we do have a lot of fun working together. I just can't believe summertime is over!
We got our barn and corrals tore down due to RMP coming in with power lines. It makes for a new look to the north! We cleaned out the log shed and the "lean to" next to it on Labor Day. What a job! There was stuff in there that's been there for 100 years or more I'm sure! We have one more shed to clean out before they all come down. We had a big dumpster delivered for all the "junk".
I've been making salsa last week and today - I'm about tomatoed out! I've done over 100 jars for me and my kids. My tomato plants did very well this year - and there's still alot of green ones that need to turn red. Now I need to do Peaches - maybe next week - or maybe not! j/k
I had a couple of pictures to post but I've lost them (imagine that!) - I'll have to search to see where they went! (Mark found them).
