It rained practically all day and Jaydon was needing to get some fresh air. So I put his raincoat on him, but could only find 1 rainboot, so he wore a sandal on the other foot. He got my mail and then decided to stay inside until the rain stopped. Good idea buddy!
7-29 Wednesday: I made 26 breakfast burritos for our trip to Big Mac. We are meeting our friends, Tiensvolds and Boeselagers, for our 2nd annual trip to the lake. I can't wait.
7-28 Tuesday: I'm learning how to use Photoshop Elements software to digitally enhance photos. Love this picture of Cassie. I'm hoping to put a lot of new, neat stuff on the blog.
7-27 Monday: As I left Josh in Crawford, he was already digging in and getting busy. He looks the part, in the cap and apron, while pattying hamburgers.
7-26 Sunday: These 2 elk made their way to Hay Springs and were next to dad's hay field. They were pretty nervous about us checking them out.
7-25 Saturday: Mom, Dad, Josh, Jared, Jaydon, and I went for a little drive one evening and since only 3 of us could ride in the cab, Mom, Jared, Jaydon and the dog rode in the back of the pick-up. The rode was a little dusty.
7-24 Friday: Dad made sure to cut the grass in front of their house so the boys could play a little pasture golf. Jared can really hit the ball. Jaydon is right-handed but swings a golf club and baseball bat left-handed.
7-23 Thursday: Jared had his best friend, Luke, to the ranch to spend the night. Josh went to Chadron to stay with Logan. So I took Jared and Luke to a pond fishing and they caught 9 bass. Jaydon didn't want to go along because he was cutting hay with Papa.
7-22 Wednesday: Dad and I took the boys to the pond to fish and this is how tall the weeds were. Jaydon kept saying we were walking through a forest...I guess we were!
7-21 Tuesday: Dad kept stacking hay bales and we (Josh, Jaydon, and me) played a little hay bale tag! Wow did that bring back the memories...and awareness of how out of shape I am.
7-20 Monday: Jaydon has a tractor fascination at the farm. Papa took him for a ride on the old Mini and rake some hay. Jaydon loved it and played on that Mini while we were back.
7-19 Sunday: I took this from our bedroom window. It even looks better from above.
7-18 Saturday: We spent the day at the lake again, water skiing and swimming. We are all loving our time together.
7-17 Friday: This was Corey's Friday off, so we went to the lake. Sure is nice having him home every other Friday. We've really been using our lake permit this year.
7-16 Thursday: Thank goodness for Craig's List. I found this captain's bed for Josh with a matching desk for only $150. Brand new the bed alone is over $700. He loves it and so do his brothers. They each want one for their rooms too. Guess I'll keep watching Craig's list for another good deal.
7-15 Wednesday: We got the lattice up and worked the vines through it. Nice shade and a little different look for not a lot of money!
7-14 Tuesday: I had salad from the garden. Fresh lettuce, cucumber, and finally a ripe tomato. It was delicious.
7-13 Monday: I put those boys to work staining that lattice. Builds character!!!
7-12 Sunday: A nice day at the lake. This is the first time Jaydon has swam in the lake. He's always been a little scared to get in with his life jacket. Now he is jumping off the boat and really having a good time.
7-11 Saturday: 6 pieces of cedar lattice to stain and put on top of the pergola for shade and to support the vines.
7-10 Friday: After a long week of swimming lessons and playing hard, this is what Friday morning looked like. The boys cuddled up on the couch watching some toons.
7-9 Thurs: They begged me to have a sleep over in Josh's room. This is what it looked like the next morning.
