Yay! We had a very productive Saturday. One thing I love about living on a farm--whenever you start on a project, there are bound to be helpers that show up! We started taking down the goat fence (the one I mentioned in this post) and within a few minutes, my dad and papa had both shown ...
Ordinary Days
Today has been a perfectly ordinary day. There was mostly good. There was a little bad. It’s not really worth retelling. Our perfectly ordinary day has, in an odd way, made my heart heavy. I’m so very thankful that my girls spent the day splashing and giggling at the ...
Our Weekend: A Photo Story
The past few days, the temperature around here has ranged from 106-111 degrees. In the last 3 days, these girls have spent a total of 28 hours in the pool. There were swim races.And splish-splashes.Suntans.And gangsta poses.A wedding.And make-overs.LOTS of fun spent with family.And a ...
A friendly little wager
After another fun-filled day at the pool, soaking up the sun, the girls and I came home to sort money. Justin has this gallon sized jug that he drops his change into each day, and lately, it's overflowing. So we divided all the money out until it looked like this:And then we all made ...
A birthday party
Happy birthday to my Daddy!! He turned a ripe old 39 today! (Just kidding, he's a tad older than that, but we'll keep it a secret!) Here he is with all his girls:We celebrated his happy years with a dinner at my parents house and a homemade peach cobbler. Yummy :) Happy birthday to ...
Flea Market Finds……or lack of
Today we went to the Nashville Flea Market. Thank goodness we went with great friends or the day would have been a bust! It was not what I expected at all. I was hoping for a leisurely day looking through some junk. That's basically what I got, only the junk was EXPENSIVE!! I'm ...
Busy, Busy Bee
That's what I've been today. Completely. We spent about 2 hours at the pool this morning, and then I came back and got down to work. I finished about 7 pages in our Disney 2010 album (I'll show you those later).My wall went from this:to this:and finally, to this:I still need to get ...
Happy Father’s Day!
We are in no shortage of awesome men around here. My girls and I are so very blessed to be surrounded by Godly men who influence, inspire, and lead us. As I watched the girls today playing with their daddy, fishing with their Papaw (and great-Papaw), making ice cream with Pops, and ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
We spent our Saturday out on the lake with my parents, riding the jet ski, cruising in the boat, jumping off rocks and stuff. My girls are absolute river rats, but the lake version. Come to think of it, they love any form of water--ocean, lake, river, pool--it doesn't ...
Camping Out
Last night we took the girls camping out behind the house. Remember that we live on about 400 acres of farm land, so when I say behind the house, take that loosely. Justin worked most of the afternoon finding the perfect spot, bringing rocks from the creek to circle the fire, cutting ...
Take me for a Ride on Your Big Blue Tractor….
This is what the girls do with their daddy when I have somewhere to go. He calls it work, some of us just call it play!! Either way, the girls love it and so does he. ...
The Never-Ending Farm To-Do List
With summer in full swing, and me home to get things done around this place, I stopped to make a list of the major things I wanted to get accomplished. Here they are, in no particular order:1. House. In a perfect world, this would mean BUILD the house. In my world, it just ...
