Berry Blessings & Fundraisers

As you can see, I'm trying to get the blog caught up while the guys are gone to Haiti--One of my projects while they're gone:o) We were very blessed with lots of wonderful berries around here. The first time they picked on some conservation land near where we live---Aubrey, Ty, Damien & Kaiti went that time. 


The question is, did they eat more than they brought home?:o) Actually I like for them to eat plenty of fresh, just picked anything...I see that as a building-their-health-up-during-the summer thing and a good way of "putting up" for the winter!:o) Makes sense, doesn't it?!


On the way home, they came across this "beauty" (Crocodile Hunter:o) And yes, my children will actually handle them...


Yikes! Even my little girl!!! That's my Kaiti for you!:o)


The boys and Ron singing in the park in town---I'm including this in fundraisers, because they so nicely donated the money they made doing it, to the music fest fund--Thanks so much, guys!

Our little people at the park


Great job, guys!






Jensy managed to find a stray balloon there:o)

Walking with Daddy


See, REAL men love cats!!!!!!!!:o)
Seriously, before I married mine, it was certainly in his favor that he was fine with cats--And it's a good thing with all the cats that grace our place:o)

My handsome trio dressed up for a friends wedding-


More berries, this time closer to home...

and more berries...


and more berries!
We were picking in the neighbor's pasture where we keep some of our livestock, so it was really nice except that it didn't take care of the bugs!

One of the fundraisers we did for the music fest...
Thanks so much to all of you who helped with that!

That same weekend we were privileged to have company from N.M. and PA. It was such a busy time that I hope they felt as welcome as we were glad to have them and were taken care of well enough! Was so nice having you, Matthew & Hannah and Maria! It was Matt & Hannah's wedding that we went to last Oct. in N.M. Chad was his best man and Aubrey a groomsman and I would've thought I had posted pictures of that, but I went and checked and I guess I was so busy after the baby was born, that it just didn't happen!
Oh well, the wedding happened though, and going on the trip and seeing dear friends again was a big blessing for our family!
O.k. I couldn't help but put in just one picture from their wedding:o) It was a beautiful N.M. day and such a sweet wedding!
God bless you Matthew & Hannah!


Matthew and Chad have been good friends since they were around five years old, and when they're together they're a lot of fun because you just never know what they'll come up with next! What do you think they were thinking/coming up with here to liven up a boring fundraiser...:o)

Hello Tyler! What in the world?!
Is he double-jointed at the hips or what?


Jason's turn!
Now you know...the rest of the story!:o)


I don't know what was being discussed here, but Chad seems to be enjoying it:o)



Just had to finish out this post with these cute pics of Aliyah~
