Family Visits

Shayli's arrival meant lots of visitors! We got to have Grandma Suzette out for just over 2 weeks which was so nice! She was a big help keeping the kids busy and keeping things in order with housework and meals. Uncle Travis also stopped in for a few days and then Pa rounded out the visit the last of July. We loved having everyone visit and I, for one, sure miss the help around the house!

Kendri is making her big debut in kindergarten........



and Lexi is going strong in 2nd grade! Both girls love school and are star students (if I do say so myself!)

Pickin' Cherries and Hunting Eggs

A few weeks ago we went to pick some cherries. We did this last year too, and came away with plenty. Kyson chased the chickens and loved every minute of it........
and he almost got one by the tail! Run chickens, run!




Yummy!




I've decided I should hire out my children during cherry picking season......;)


We also got some fresh eggs thanks to the poor, "tormented" chickens!




Overall, we had a great time! Thanks Colbourns for sharing the goods!
