Parties :)

A couple weeks ago we kids threw a suprise anniversary party for Dad and Mom and invited a few good friends. It actually turned out to be successful! Thanks everyone who helped us decorate!



 

Amy made sure we had delicious cakes

Piles of kids-what fun!

The boys discussing 4-H or cows probably.  :)

Aunt Amy making the punch. Yummmm!!!

Brian was pretty disappointed that we didn't have glasses and spoons. Finger tapping on a disposable plastic cup just isn't the same I guess. :)

Looking at wedding pictures from 30 years ago.

So that was the party! Thanks everyone for coming and making it special!

The next party wasn't quite as glamorous: weeding. Thanks Amy for bringing your kids and helping us.

Everyone wanted to help out

Laurel was having a ball in the dirt: smearing it in her hair, eating it.....

Garden fellowship

Go Eli!

Three little girls fascinated by water and cups

Planting pumpkins

We ate lunch and Laurel really enjoyed her cake and ice cream which she smeared everywhere.

Then out we go for more weeding in the onion patch

Lula was my faithful little weeder. She stuck with me for a whole row helping pull big weeds and throw dirt.
