Random Pictures of our Life – July 2010

Remember the ducks we got way back in May? Our sole survivor, “Sammy” is getting so big!

Sammy’s friend is Tweet who if you remember is the 4H chick . . . → Read More: Random Pictures of our Life – July 2010

Summer chores help kids learn that work can be fun!

Now that our two kids have been home for summer vacation for almost an entire month it’s turning into a free-for-all clutter fest around here!

Cook out 2010

Saturdays are turning out to be very fun this spring! This weekend we spent a gorgeous day out in the woods at my step-brother’s cabin.
