Beet Harvest

The beet man himself, it was his sharing day at school I asked him what he wanted to bring he said a sugar beet, he told them the whole process of a sugar beet, this what he told me he said
" first you plant them, then you dig them, then the beet digger puts them in trucks, then they go at a beet dump, then these big green trucks come and this big loader puts the beets in the truck then the big big green truck takes them to Grandpa Pauls sugar factory then at the factory they take them to the holding place and then the sugar factory makes sugar or candy and then after they make it they put it in bags and then they take it to the store to be buyed" Straight from Braden's mouth, it cracked me up!
The new Tractor has been awesome!!!


Maylee fell asleep, look how dirty she is!

I decided only girls fall asleep in tractors, Braden would not dream of it!



I love this picture, the tractor just hummed her to sleep



We made Braden take our picutre!





What the heck are you doing up on the digger Braden??????

Halloween with the Anthon's

Maylee, Lissa, Phoebe, and Braden
Here are the new little girlies Gracie and Annalee

Every year since Braden and Phoebe were new little babies we have a Halloween night with the Anthon's, we have dinner carve pumpkins, and just sit around and get caught up with what each other have been up to, It has been a fun tradition for us. Now we have 3 kids a peace and they are all the same ages, another fun thing is that Kelly and Jeff went to school together and Joelle and I went to school together we just went to that cool school across the river!

The Great Pumpkin Harvest

These pictures were taken before the big snow storm, we
had a lot of fun picking pumpkins, and hauling them, we
started pumpkins in our house early this year in hopes to
get a big one, we planted them the end of April and they all
froze, so we were really excited to see all these pumpkins
growing, they are all volunteers and some have cross grown
with other things from our garden last year we counted 132
pumpkins, not bad for all volunteers!

Who Needs A Ladder????????




The Lightbulb needed changed in the living room,
instead of easily going out in to the garage to get the ladder we bought to change the light bulbs in the house, Jeff and Braden sceamed up this little plan that, Jeff would stand on the barstool and lift Braden up above his head and then Braden would change the light bulb, well it worked and no one even got hurt. I don't think I could have held him up there that long!

Donut Sniching

Look at that guilty face, Maylee was being awful quiet when I walked in the kitchen this is waht I found, an almost empty box of donuts, she was caught red handed, as you can see she push the bar stool over and her booster chair so she could eat with ease!!! She is not to worried about being caught eating who knows how many donut holes!

We were all shocked to see the snow come down Saturday morning, it snowed all day into the night, we went sledding in the pasture with the kids they loved it, I took picutes of out bbq grill every couple hours to give evryone an idea how much SNOW we really got, Jeff's brother measured 21 inches at 10:00 pm and it still kept snowing. We had to scrape in front of our garage so we could pull in Saturday night and we had only been gone a few hours, church even got canceled. Brian and Ami were suppost to bless Breken today so we all went to the Declo High School where the dinner was suppost to be and the blessing today! What a fun memory that will be for us, and a fun story for that cute little boy! Jeff has been pretty worked up about the snow something about beet harvest and planting grain, I keep telling him he can't do anything about good ole Mother Nature!

We got snow!

Have you ever seen a porch with hanging baskets in full bloom and pumkins all covered in snow?Posted by Picasa

Turning 30

Hmm well I have to admit I kind of felt bad about turning 30 until I was cutting one of my very favorite clients hair Judy Heller and she told me your going to be 30 you should be proud look at what you have done in 30 years, married, kids, a salon, good health, o ya your right Jud! So here's to 30, one of my friends said you turn 30 first and then tell the rest of us how it goes,
so here's to 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
