40 years

Happy Anniversary..........
And they said it wouldn't last....

Fun in Aunt Claudia's Pool

Last Saturday afternoon, when it was so blasted hot, and we were all SO SO HOT from working in the yard on the sprinkling system, we had the opportunity to visit CJ's Aunt Claudia (Nelson)'s pool.  It was so refreshing !!  We even got Roger D. and Zac in the pool !!

Those boys are fish !
Thatcher is under the water more than he is up out of the water !!

Goat update

The goats are growing nicely.  Lewis and Clark have gone to their new home at Labs for Liberty.  Marvin and Otis will go to Angie Bryant's home on the Richville Lane about July 22nd.  The feeder Roger and Zac built is working so nicely.  At first, I thought that we had made a mistake in building it, as we were just hand feeding, and couldn't imagine it working.  Little did we know, these are SMART goats !!  Now 3 times a day (down from 4), out we head calling "baby baby", and they come running, and you can hardly walk for tripping over them.  They scramble to get to the bottles as you quickly put them in place.  The boys grab hold, and start sucking for dear life.  The girls do too, but then they quickly tire of "their" nipple, and try to horn in on the boys action.  We have to keep directing them back to their own nipple.  Poor little Otis is challenged (or maybe it's his eye site?) and has to be directed to a nipple every time. 

This little girls LOVES animals.

Clark and Landon

Payson asking a serious question

Sherilee brought her grandkids down to see the goats in action.

Tiff (Sherilee's daughter) and her son feeding Clark.

Mindy brought her crew !

6 goats !!  Enough for everyone :)

The Rose Dairy kids came down.  They are PROS when it comes to farm animals.  Just look at what that good left over milk has produced.

The Gubler girls (and mom) came to check out the babies.  There was MUCH loving going on.

We love to have visitors are our barnyard.

Morgan Valley Marathon (half)

Kacey and Landon ran a half marathon on June 24th. 

The kiddos slept over the night before, and it was all I could do to get them up and out to the road to cheer the runners on and to see mom and dad about 8 am. 

They had a grand time. 

Unfortunately, I didn't get the video of when Landon and Kacey and Kaley ran by - dang it !
