PineValley reunion........

We had a big reunion up in Pine Valley. I dont even know how many people were there in total...but there was allot of us! We had lots of fun! We had a BIG picnic by the stream, baseball games in the yard, and lots of games! It was really fun to have everyone together!

California summer visit

We started with a family reunion in southern California with time at the beach, an Angels game, swimming, eating and lots of family. We ended our trip with a drive up the coast to visit our other side of the family! The kiddos loved spending time with their cousins!!

Trip to the Coast......

Before school got out, we decided to be spontaneous and take a trip out to the coast to visit the fam! It was so much fun and relaxing to just hang out and be lazy! We went to the beach a couple times, went to baseball games, went to the farm/petting zoo, had a big BBQ, played games, picked All the strawberries from uncle Rob's garden (and ate them all in a day)...and mostly just relaxed!....I'm ready to go again!!

cows, cows, and more cows

Although we are taking the summer off from milking the cows, I had to post these pictures from a month ago. Both of our cows had their calfs. It was a really cool experience for the whole family! The kids loved the babies!

Baptism!!

Look who turned 8! I still cant believe I have an 8 yr old! It was a crazy week with a birthday party with all the neighborhood boys, lots of family in town,...and of course the baptism! It was so neat to have so much family there (not everyone made the photo). Uncle Andrew gave an awesome talk, and daddy baptized our big 8 yr. old. It was a perfect day!

the cows......
okay, so many of you probably dont know that we have a couple of jersey milking cows! We recently moved and are able to have them on our property. The kids love to go and help dad with the animals! Both of our cows, (Harmony, and Nola) are both going to be havin their calfs soon! So stay tuned for pictures! Both the cows are super friendly and love the kids! As you can see our little princess in her pj's helpin' dad. She was posing as usual, and Nola wanted to pose too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (Im catchin' up)
This little man turned 6 in Jan! He keeps us entertained and on our toes at the same time! He is the most caring and loving little boy! We had a spiderman birthday, lots of blue and red frosting.....!
