We got to go to the zoo this past Sunday. It was beautiful weather and to add to the fun, our baby niece and her mom and dad went with us. Pretty sure I took more photos of our niece than I did of the zoo animals. 🙂 She was by far the cutest baby […]

Life is a Vapor
My husband and son loaded up into our 1986 GMC work pick-up with our hopper wagon hooked on behind it. A sweet, old hopper wagon that we pulled all the way home from Ohio one year after Christmas. Hopper wagons weren’t used in Kansas like they were and are in the east. I like having […]
Busy Week-Friends, Work, Hay
Hello Monday! We had a busy week last week. It kind of ran together and I did pick up my camera a few times, but not as often as some weeks. And it seems that when we’re busier, I tend to forget more of what all we did do! The schools were on spring […]

There’s a Pup About the House
What does it mean? When you have…. shoes piled high on the shoe rack, keeping as many up off the floor as possible… the bottom rungs of the drying rack, empty, no clothes hung there to dry, and pieces of string and material strung across the floor… the doors to the office and bathroom tightly […]
Celebrating Boy
If you want to remember what day the state you live in, became a state, just have a baby on that particular day. That’s what I did, and now I know when Kansas Day is. In fact, I think that’s when I learned when Kansas Day was. My mother-in-law was helping one of the teachers […]
It’s Another Monday!
Time for a few hellos! Hello to coughs and head colds. Not so happy to have you here. Renae had it first and I had a couple of days where I didn’t feel real great. Tucker caught it next and came down one morning feeling pretty rough. He seems to always get sick close to […]

Our daughter was born at the beginning of 2000, so naturally, she turned twelve years old this year. She thought it was pretty cool today, on 12-12-12, that she was also already twelve years old!
