june 18th - a little of this and a little of that...

Today was a somewhat busy day....Aiden did the Junior Fire Fighter Academy at the Indianola Fire Station in the morning. His very own daddy did some of the activities, so that made it extra special. This first picture is of Jory giving Aiden his certificate of participation.

AND....*drum roll please*.....Baby Schae arrived yesterday, so we got the honor of meeting him today at the hospital. Isn't he perfect!!!

I thought this was a cool shot of Jory's bunker gear...

And, of course the girls in the no parking zone....lol....

june 17th - more of the {farmer}

This is an additional picture from yesterday at the farm...guess I forgot to get my camera out today!!! (My memory fails me after 2 1/2 months....ha ha!!!)

june 16th - my little {farmer}

Aiden is really into the farming thing (just in case you couldn't tell)!!! I love capturing moments of him in his {element}!!!

june 14 - a real {major} leaguer!!

 

Meghan finished up her baseball season today and even got a trophy from her coach (my co-coach).  She thought that was just pretty cool to get a trophy...her eyes were as big as they could possibly be.  Coach Pepper really made an impression on the kids by giving them each a trophy and saying something very encouraging and special to each one of them.  It was a great season and all the kids had such a great time!!!

june 15th - {helping}

It is always such a treat to have Ray come to wash the windows.  We try to do this once a year - and wow what a difference it makes!!!  He takes them apart and washes inbetween where the blinds are....I tell ya, what he does in a few hours would take me weeks and there would still be streaks and fly spots.  Anyway, he was still here tonight when we got home, so the kids {pitched right in}.  I'm sure Ray had lots to tell his wife about when he got home...the children in the cowboy boots riding pretend horses all over the yard, the little boy who thought he needed to carry the bucket, questions coming at him faster than he could answer them, the lunatic mommy with the camera....I could go on and on.  Needless to say, I bet next year he comes in the morning!!!

june 13 - a meadow of {daisies}

I took Calyn out to the pasture this afternoon and took some pictures of her with the daisies....I know, I know, they are some sort of weed, but she looks so cute.  I thought they were the perfect backdrop for a little photo op!!!!  

june 12th - in memory....

Aiden's first grade teacher passed away on June 8th.  She was such a blessing to Aiden and to Victory Christian Academy.  Yesterday was her visitation and Jory and I and the kids traveled to Exira to pay our respects.  Her funeral was held today.  We are so thankful the 1st and 2nd graders got to visit her on this day in May.  We are honored to have known her and pray for comfort and peace for her family.
