Baby Room

Aaron and Tricia worked hard all afternoon on Saturday to paint. I appreciate them doing it so much. The lighting on the pictures is not great so I will try to get more pictures to put up once we get everything together in the room that will hopefully be better. I planted flowers and cooked dinner while they worked. We have been having gorgeous summer weather here. It's been in the 80's all week so a great time to work outside.
This Saturday we also did our registry stuff at Target. I had registered for a few things online before we went to the store, but we finished it up (I think). Anyway, if any of you are curious, feel free to look. If you see an important item that should be on there that we haven't thought of, let me know. We are in over our head when it comes to baby equipment.
Tomorrow is a doctor's appointment, King Tut exhibit, and we are helping with the apartment ministry kick-off party our church is doing that evening. I don't know how we keep getting one day so loaded instead of spreading everything out but events seem to build up quick.
Hope all of you are not too droopy eyed from the time change!

I have been wanting to go see that King Tut exhibit! I heard it was really interesting. You'll have to let me know if it is recommended! I agree that the weather has been wonderful...not looking forward to the cold front later this week. I'm going to have to go to Target and check you guys out! :-)

I thought it was to rain yesterday, which made me happy because then I could put down weed n feed today. NO such luck. Supposed to rain today- I have my doubts. I'm ready to do yard work, though! I'm especially ready to plant my vegetable garden. The room looks great!

Hi Holly!

I was just looking at your registry and make sure you add things like bottles for the milk you pump, plastic sheets for under the cotton ones, and a bouncer or swing (for when you are cooking dinner!) If you are not opposed to hand-me-downs I have quite a bit of stuff that is unisex that Aiden no longer uses. If you are interested I can mail some things to you. I just need your address. PLease e-mail nme and let me know. SLenann@aol.com
Enjoy her while she is little because she will grow so fast!

Love,

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
