Another New Dress

Over the weekend I made Naomi another new dress. It's fun to make her dresses. Next I'm going to attempt to make Cassidy a dress. Maybe someday I'll make matching dresses for them.

Sprinkler Fun!

Today Matt fixed our outside spigot that wasn't working. The kids hooked the sprinkler up and put it under the trampoline. They had a great time. They were out there for about 2 hours...can't wait to see that water bill!!!

Backyard Friend




Ezra noticed this squirrel yesterday in a tree behind our house. He was having the greatest time eating that nut. He didn't even mind us taking pictures of him.

Another Day with Missy

This morning, like most mornings, we went over to see Missy. It's the highlight of Cassidy's day.



Cassidy takes great care of her horse. Sunday, Cass gave her a bath. Missy wasn't crazy about the hose so she had to just use a bucket and sponge.


I took a picture of Cassidy cleaning out her hoofs. It's a lot harder than it looks. Sometimes Missy doesn't want to lift her leg and then when she does she'll put her weight on it making it hard to keep it up.


This is the barn kitten Jasper.

Last day of vbs!!!

We had a great last day of vacation bible school. The local fire truck came and the kids got soaked!!! They had a blast!





We had a great week.


Our third week of revival went great also. This week's preacher was Amos Johnson from Sikeston, MO. It was a blessing to have him with us.

Sweet Corn

I love this time of year! Sweet corn and fresh tomatoes! We haven't had any tomatoes yet but today we picked some sweet corn.



A friend from church told us we could come over and get all the corn we wanted. So even though it was 92+ degrees we picked a bunch after bible school. The boys had their friend Owen with them today so that was nice to have an extra pair of hands.





Naomi wasn't too sure what to think about it all. It took me awhile to convince her to pick up an ear of corn so I could take her picture.



I was able to freeze some so we'll have it over the winter.




Eating the fruit of our labor.


If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land

VBS Day 2

Day 2 of Bible School went very good. We had more kids today. Praise the Lord! 28 total. 19 boys and 9 girls. For their game today they had a shoe tossing contest. It's harder than it sounds for some of those little kids.

Kitchen Help

Tonight our family provided the meal for the preacher and his wife that are here for this week's revival. Cassidy made the chocolate pies.



Little sister wanted to help too.








Thank you Cassidy for your help. They were delicious.
