Boys Will Be Boys

Zane and Levi.

Playing a little rough!

I wanted to get a picture of Levi on a horse, and as you can see he wanted no part of it!

Singin in the Rain

We spent the evening at the Ranch tonight (like most nights in the summer.) We decided to pack our dinner and hike out in the woods and cook over a fire. Well, clouds rolled in and we thought it best not to go. We began to cook our meal near the picnic pavillion and then it rained on us! We finished cooking in the dining hall and then when the rain stopped Levi went puddle jumping!

Garden 2009

The rose bush is very happy-full of blooms and buds this year!

This is a new one Mom got me but I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps Rose of Sharon or Hollyhock?

From the road.

The vegetables: corn, lettuce and carrots on left. Potatoes and beans on right.

Changing Every Day

Finally a picture of us! Those eyes kill me!

Silly kid.

Levi was eating some dry cereal (Kix) at the table. I went in to check on him and found him loading them into his tractor before eating them. I wonder where he leanred that?!

Pretty Girl! Sadie is a natural in front of the camera!

Hay Day

Wednesday was hay day at the Ranch. I'm pretty sure this is Andy's favorite day of the year. He left work a litte early to get in on the action.

Levi kept saying, "Help, working." I think he wanted to be a part of it but was a little afraid of all the noise from the hay elevator and tractors. His favorite part was watching the round bails being dumped out of the back of a trcuk and rolling on the grass.
I had to get a picture of Andy- I told him it was 7 years ago on hay day that I fell in love with him...well, or that I decided that he was really cute and I wanted to get to know him :-) These are blurry from all the hay dust in the air.

Here is the crew.

For Larry's sake I think the Ranch should hire a chiropractor and masseuse.

I didn't get any picture of Sadie with the hay because I was 'wearing' her in the baby carrier. Here she is showing off for the camera. She says mama, dada, uh oh, more and I think she calls Levi buba. We might have a talker on our hands!

Happy Birthday Nana XOXO!

Levi made a birthday video for Nana (it was a little prompted as you will see.)

Daddy's Day

The kids got Fathers Day shirts: Levi's says, "Dad's Number 1 Fan" and Sadie's says, "I love My Dad."
