FARMING FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

OUR MEMORIAL DAY IS GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH LIKE THE LAST COUPLE, WE WILL BE FARMING IN SODA. TODAY STARTED OFF THE WEEKEND WHEN WE LEFT TO SODA AT ABOUT 11:30 AND WE WERE FARMING UNTIL ABOUT 7:00 IS WHEN WE FINALLY GOT IN. HOWEVER, THE GIRLS DIDN'T FARM MUCH-WE GOT TO PLAY AND WATCH KIDDOS WHILE THE BOYS FARMED. IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME. WE ARE GOING TO HELP AGAIN TOMORROW, AND ON MONDAY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY IS GOING. IT IS KIND OF TRADITION NOW, THAT MEMORIAL DAY FARMING IS WHAT WE DO. WE HAD TONS OF FUN, GOT REALLY DIRTY, AND NOW WE ARE GONNA SLEEP LIKE CHAMPS!

HALLE, JARED, AND I DRIVING IN THE FARM TRUCK!

TREVOR IS ABOUT 5 MONTHS OLDER THAN HALLE, AND HE IS STARTING TO TAKE ON THE ROLE OF BEING A BIG BROTHER, EVEN THOUGH HE ISN'T! WE ALL THINK IT IS SO CUTE HOW HE WATCHES AND HELPS HER EVERY MOVE, THIS PICTURE EXPLAINS IT ALL...AREN'T THEY JUST ADORABLE LITTLE FARMERS? THEY LOVE IT! CUTE COWBOY HAT, TREVY!

WORKING ON THE YARD!

SO, THE YARD IS SLOWLY A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT IT IS LOOKING BETTER. THE TREES AND STUMPS ARE NOW GONE THANKS TO JAREDS FRIENDS DAD...THANKS CAPTAIN! WE HAD SOME SOD LAID DOWN, AND ARE WAITING TO PLANT THE GARDEN. THIS IS WHAT THE YARD IS LOOKING LIKE NOW, AND YES, HALLE WON'T GET OF THE "MULE!" SHE LOVES RIDING IT WITH DADDY-HE TAKES HER ALL AROUND THE BLOCK, AND SHE CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT!

JARED AND HIS DIRT PILE. HERE IS WHERE THE GARDEN WILL BE SOON!

HALLE PLAYING WHERE THERE IS NOW SOD!

MY BIRTHDAY AND MORE!

LAST SUNDAY WAS MY 27TH BIRTHDAY! WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. WE WOKE UP AND WENT TO CHURCH, CAME HOME, GOT THE HOUSE READY, AND HAD ALOT OF FAMILY OVER FOR A BBQ AND CAKE AND ICE CREAM. THE OLDER I GET, THE LESS AND LESS MY BIRTHDAY'S SEEM LIKE SUCH A BIG DEAL. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE THEM BUT THEY JUST CHANGE WHEN YOU GROW UP! MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY IS ON THE SAME DAY AND I WOULD RATHER CELEBRATE HERS-I GUESS THAT IS MY WAY OF TRYING TO AGE, IF I DON'T HAVE A BIRTHDAY, I NEVER GET OLDER, RIGHT? ANYWAYS, HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE FESTIVITIES AND IT WAS ALOT OF FUN! THANKS EVERYONE!
