Funk Time

Things get a little crazy at our house. you never know what you will find!

have fun with it,

Cookin' with Daddy

This week Milo and Daddy made flat bread,

Milo had a blast since it would puff up like a balloon and

he would push down on it to watch the steam come out Tonight Casie used the Cleaver! This is big time! How many Dads let their Kids use meat cleavers in the kitchen! She did a marvelous job! No boo-boo's at all
and Odie will be happy the collarded greens turned out perfect-o!!

Cousins Rock

Dear Joey,
I wanted to add one more thing to your list of things
NOT to put up your nose. No more buttons!
Love,
Mijo

My little blue eyed girl!

Chica's 8th day celebration!

In August, Chica's 8th Birthday party was a blast!

Rock Start theme, how could we go wrong!

Most of the girls got into the groove, aunt Maika did hair, I actually did nails and
the girls posed for the photos, a few thought I was crazy.

By midnight, Mom was done!

Mijo's first day of preschool! It all goes too fast!

We had a great visit with Grandma Great Jean last Saturday. She wasnt expecting us but thats ok. We like surprises. When you live in a retirement home, surprises are good right?
Mijo talked about jumping on my bed and Chica showed off her new earrings. cute.

We had fun working hard on Sunday at the flying j farm. http://www.flyingjfarm.com/
We planted about 800 of the 1,000 sweet potato slips and lived to tell about it! Germ and I worked with Elizabeth and Beth and had a good system going. One would dig a hole, the other plant, the other water,and the other one would "smoosh" down the dirt. my hands were so dirty but I was in heaven!

funon the tractor! M's favo spot!

while we were hard at work planting sweet potatoes, the kids kept busy with other work! M loves the rock pile and the sand pile of course!!

these 3 have been friends since birth. I love it when they play together and you can see their personalities develop!
