Labor Day

We ended our long weekend with a little more fun with our families before making the trip home.  On Sunday, we helped Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa shear off the older ewes in preparation of fall lambing.  Even Dallas and Reba took a turn with the electric clippers!

We of course had to play with tractors - big and small before leaving!

Julianne also got to take a ride on "Mac"

I decided we needed to have a treat about halfway home...Can you believe they ate the entire thing?!?!

Once we got home and got the van unloaded, it was time to do chores.  Once that job was finished, the kiddos wanted to swing.  Apparently, Julianne had met her quota of fun for the weekend.

Until next time...

Fun Friday Fotos

Last weekend, the kiddos and I were able to spend the afternoon with some of our out-of-state family!  One of my cousins, Paul, and his family were visiting from South Dakota.  The last time we were able to visit was almost three years ago at the last Labor Day Weekend Gathering Doug and I hosted in Williamsburg.

Thankfully, the rain cleared and all the little ones were able to get out of the house and play!

They started with races out to the trees and back

Jerry (in the blue polo) was giving the instructions on where to run

Grace (on the left) and Reba were chasing each other around the tree

I think Dallas and Reba turned a little early to be in the lead on the way back :)

After the foot races, we got out some frisbees.

As I was getting ready to head home, I realized we didn't sit the little ones down to try and get a nice picture.  We decided to skip the idea at that point because my two were cranky about having to leave, another was getting ready for bed, and two were asleep.  All in all, it was a great visit - and hopefully, it won't be so long until the next time we get to see you again.

Until next time...

We Like to Race

As you might have noticed, the kiddos love to race!  I'm not sure what the name was for this style of racing (I'm sure Dallas came up with something funny for it), but they were having a grand ole time.

Until next time...

Let the Races Begin!

I have been meaning to post this video for a week or more, but look who has figured out how to drive the gator! (Fair warning: turn down your speakers before viewing. There is an annoying "winding" noise made from the gators in the video)

I can only imagine the races the kiddos will have this spring/summer...especially once little sister figures out there is a fast gear!

Until next time...
