Cheese!

 Crack!

 Kisses for Daddy at 5pm.  

 She loves her silky.

 Practicing her walk.  

Going backwards

Some days I want to keep up with blogging.  Some days I don't.  And most days I just don't have/find/make the time to.
But, until I figure out what I'm going to do...
I'll post some randomness from this summer.

The girls in Vegas (back in June)

stayed at the Wynn.  Nice.

 This is Jordan.  Jordan was in my very first fifth grade class (2002).  We met for lunch this summer in Lawrence where she's going to KU!  She was and will always be one of my most favorites students.   She's in school to be a teacher. I'm so proud of her.

 This is my son Isaac.  He's naked in the van.  I'm not so proud of him.  (he had peed his pants while we were out and about and I stripped him down- yes, his shirt was even wet.  brother)

And why he's writing with a Shout pen is beyond me.  

My cousin's daughter Katie came to stay with us for a couple of days this summer.  The kids loved it and so did I.  She was SO MUCH HELP.  I really didn't want to let her go back home.

This is all of us eating ice cream at the soda fountain. 

 And this is Caroline.  Just sunbathing on the side of the pool.  {yes, there was an adult in the pool, just not in the view of the pic- don't call SRS}

Prettiest Barn Around

My Aunt Susan designed and painted this barn quilt as a gift to my parents who purchased the family farm six months ago.

This is called a barn quilt, they are very popular in Nebraska.  We are pretty sure this is the first on in Kansas.  Hopefully this will catch on in Kansas.

Here's a description of the barn:

Featuring a striking design and earthy colors, you canʼt miss this barn quilt located just south of the intersection of 6th and Oregon Street in S, KS. The artist, Susan (Scoby) Strahm of Pender, Nebraska, created this piece as a memorial to her parents, Harold and Darlene Scoby, and as a gift to the farmʼs new owners, Gary and Leslie Scoby. The green colors symbolize the legacy we have as stewards of the land and the blessing of rain to bring crops of corn, soybeans, and milo. The green winter wheat colors symbolize the fall season. The gold represents Kansas wheat and draws our memory to the hot harvest days in July and the fall colors at harvest time. The red in the center represents faith in God and the love of family and friends as the most important things in life. Lastly, the scattered red triangles of the quilt remind us that no matter where we live, our hearts will always turn to home and family. 

A Mac Post

Wahoo.  Success.  Last night after a successful download of 20,000 pictures from our external hard drive we are in luck, back in business- blessed and so lucky that our external hard drive did it's job.  Please please if you don't have an external hard drive- get one.  Now.

I hooked up the Rebel to the Mac and it was a successful marriage.   

We're back in business baby!  Now, I just have to find the time to blog.   

A Year Ago Today

My sweet baby was born.  It's simply unbelievable she's ONE but she is and we love her so!
