Pre-school at the pumpkin patch

I helped take Maylee's preschool to the pumpkin patch in Oakley last week, I had a suburban full of girls! It was fun to see her interact with her friends, there are 11 girls and 4 boys in her class! This pumpkin patch is a blast, you get to feed goats, go thru a corn maze, go on a hay ride, play pumpkin bowling, throw bean bags thru pumpkin, go thru a spook alley and much more it is awesome!

Harvest Widow

Addie was so little!


Ha hA Joce

About 6 years ago my best friend from highschool, Heather Young had a Harvest Widows party, we all wore are old prom dresses and she made us a fancy dinner, we each were given a state and she made us sashes to wear with our state on it. We played a trick on my little sis Jocelyn and told her we were having a swimsuit contest so weall pretended like we were changing then she came out and she was the only one in a swim suit! It was so fun, I miss you Heather! I have had this poem hanging on my fridge allthis time, I am posting this cute poem she wrote for all the harvest widows, 10:24PM and he's still not home!

Pommerelle Cabin Here we COME!

We have all been wanting to go to the cabin to camp for years and we finally made it happen a couple weekends ago, it is so close and we get so busy we don't go up there! When we sat down and were talking we all said why don't we come up here more, it's close, it's beautiful and so much fun. My camera went dead after 1 pic so Thanks for the collages Mindy! We went on some fun rides ate yummy dutch oven, (thanks Dad!) sat around the fire, talked, laughed, and enjoyed every minute of it, exepted that Jeff could not come because he was harvesting beans!Look at my Dad and Gracie, so cute!!!!
I loved this little getaway, let's do it again sometime!

Neighboorhood Buddies

Braden has loved having kids his age live by us, Kelly is his bud, in fact all 3 of my kids love to play with Kelly. On this day these two were eating stars from Dairy Queen. I am glad these two can grow up together and always be GOOD BUDDIES!

Sugar Beet Harvest

Guess what were still doing at our house, HARVEST that's right well I guess 1 person in the house is but there are 4 others missing him while he is in harvest, they have'nt seen him for a couple days until this morning they woke up early enough to see there DADDY! We are thankful for him and how hard he works! Here is some pictures from a couple weeks ago when Braden went with Jeff, the beets are north of Paul so not very close to go visit after school!
The harvester broke the second I got there!!

Braden thinks he needs to climb on top of this thing everytime Jeff stops

Here he is on top, checking ot out he says

Here is a cool pic of Brian and Jeff both doing there Beet Harvest Jobs!

love the blue trucks!

Soccor Season!

Braden loved playing soccor, he an excellent coach and learned quite a bit this year. He ran his little heart out!

Bean Harvest

good looking chili bean, these beans are going to Hormel to make chili

Braden insists on checking the harvester to make sure it is not plugged up

Jeff and Brian got bean equipment this year so it has been a new experiance harvesting our own beans. This is "guitto" the bean combine, that's his name, Braden was way excited to go harvest beans it was nice they were just down the road, he is quite the farm boy!

The great pumpkin patch

I took the girls to the pumpkin patch, Braden was in the harvester with Jeff so he did not come. Gracie loved the pumpkins she kept picking them up and hugging them! Since our garden has 4 foot weeds it will be the firstyear we have not had pumpkins of our own, maybe next year.
