unfinished projects and picture catch up

 Not done. Working on it. Started but haven't finished. Almost done but not quite. At some point in the future I will.... This kind of describes my life right now. We got a little dresser from the store to put our out of date...er, I mean vintage eclectic...TV on. At some point I will paint the dresser. It came with the cute old timey mirror. I like having it because I was able to move some of the kids's toys like puzzles and paper dolls into the drawers instead of having them on an open shelf in the playroom.

 We had Aaron's cell bio class over for dinner. Maddy directed a puppet making craft for them. Completely her own idea. She came up with the craft, gathered the supplies and gave the instructions.
 A flowerbed we're building. I got the rest of the dirt chopped up and the first row of bricks set but that is all the progress since this picture. Rain and allergies brought this project to a grinding halt. The wood box will be torn down.

 Working in the garden makes you hot and thirsty.



 Garden is doing great. I see little green tomatoes coming on the plants and I think we'll have some lettuce soon.

 Maddy recited Peas Porridge for her school program. We went to Nacogdoches middle of April to see the Crosses new place. Jessica came too. The following pics are from our trip to the azelea gardens at SFA. Fun times!


 Cooper for the photo bomb!

Great update! Kelsay is hilarious with that water spigot. I love that Maddy came up with the paper bag craft and instituted it. I'm so glad y'all got to go to Nac. What a blast! I feel like I'm a large step behind you because instead of- going to finish- it's more like- going to start. ha!

Boy do these girls look like they are having fun at the water faucet. I remember doing the same as a kid. Nothing better than drinking water from a hose or faucet. I agree with Aaron. You have some great pics!!!

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...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...
