Harvesting the Fun

Once again it has been awhile since I have updated everyone. I'm surprised I haven't had more comments of getting to it. Although, I'm sure there are some who would like to forget some of the events. Maybe the weekend we went to Sixberry. That was a couple weeks ago when we turned the water off and pulled the docks out.
Laura and Kelly playing in the hammock with their cousin Angelina. After the water was off and the docks were pulled, we hooked the boat to Dad's truck and headed back to his house. Only look what happened shortly into the trip!

Nothing else to do but - Drive it home! Not going to hurt this trailer any.




Attempted to take a video of the ride home, after the second tire blew! One ride home that the girls will never forget.
Last weekend we were invited to a Halloween party at a local onion farm. Gary was quite impressed by the collection of tractors. The farm had them all out, cleaned up for winter and on display.
We all enjoyed a hay ride through the muck farm.
Gary and Laura picking their pumpkins out at the party to carve. The barn behind is an onion warehouse. For the party they had onion crates lined up in a maze inside and people volunteered to work a "haunted onion barn". It really was amazing.
Gary and the girls starting to carve their pumpkins. In the upper left of the picture is the start of the bon fire.
Kelly wanted one side carved and the other side painted.
The girls joined the band at the bon fire for a song of "There ain't no bugs on me" They really enjoyed themselves at the party. The night was equipped with trick or treating. A well planned party for all ages. I wasn't able to get any more pictures after this point because I broke my camera.

Birthday, Wedding and the Excitement of Fall

It has been a couple weeks since my last post. Our time has been filled with getting Kelly readjusted to her asthma and keeping up with Laura's homework. In addition to the girls, we celebrated Gary's birthday last weekend.
Here is the yummy cake that Gary's mother put together for him. The ole John Deere truck.
Equipped with the round bale on the back. Another great creation. Thanks Sheila!
Laura surprised Gary with the cake.
Saturday the girls and I took a quick trip to Sixberry. The weather was perfect and I wanted to see the leaves changing. They had just started to change. The colors weren't quite there yet.
This picture doesn't do the lake justice with the trees that had changed. But I assure you the lake is changing. I was in the water for a neighbors boat and it was a bit chilly.
10-10-10 Wedding number 4~ Jason and Jessica Spooner ~ Congrats!!!
Both Jason and Jessica are avid hunters, hence the cake top. Each year it has been a joke as to who will get their first buck.
The groom and I. The reception was held at White Eagle, near his families camp.
Two of my best friends. A great night to celebrate together.
The Clarkson Clan, together again. So fun to see everyone. A true representation of the ratio at Clarkson.
