My Baby is in KINDERGARTEN!


Bryan's First Day of Kindergarten. He was so excited! On Mondays they have earlier class, and they get out at 1:30, but most days he will go 12:00-3:00p.m. We are outside waiting for the bus.



Here is the Bus!!! It came a little sooner than we were expecting. But Bryan just hoped right in and smiled and waved as they drove away to pick up his friend Mason down the street.


This picture tells it all. Blake was very sad, because he wanted to go with Bryan. He also wanted a picture with Bryan by the road, but the bus came too soon. So I told him that I would take a picture of just him. He just wasn't happy. But he got over it quickly. Now, all day He wants me to entertain and play with him. Or he will come up and just talk to me about anything. I think He really misses his brother.

Garden Update


Here is our garden. I have currently been canning green beans, and freezing broccoli. I've got a lot of tomatoes, that I want to make into sauce. We are going to dig up our potatoes soon, and we have even gotten 4 little raspberries.
Here is the last of our goat shed, that Shilo has torn down. We are going to plant our Orchard here next year, and with the wood Shilo is going to make our chicken coop. He just bought a miter saw, so he is excited for some projects.


Here is Shilo's pride and joy, his corn. It is our first successful attempt at raising corn. The highest is in the middle, and we are guessing it is about seven feet tall.


THis is our first year of pumpkins, and we didn't realize that one plant takes up alot of room and has quite a few pumpkins. So Shilo planted 5 plants. Three are orange, and the other two are white.

Here is our biggest pumpkin. It is now turning more orange. This is the one we'll be carving for Halloween!!!



Our New ADDITION!!!!!

A DOG!!!!
Yes, we have a dog. Her name is Molly. She was free and she already has her shots and is spayed. (This is the only reason I gave my consent!) She also came with a dog kennel and a walking leash. We got her from Shilo's boss. His brother was killed in a motorcycle accident and so Molly needed a home.
I guess we can't have a baby girl, so we'll get a Dog! I once asked Bryan if he wanted a baby sister and his reply was "First a dog, then a sister!" Shilo says we should of got the dog a long time ago then!!!!





(sorry, i don't know how to turn this picture around, I guess I should of done it before I added it to the blog.)

Here is Bryan with Molly. He is the least scared of her. She is still kind of a pup, so she jumps up alot and it scares Blake a little, and Caleb alot!

I think the people the most excited is first Shilo, then Bryan. He loves to take her on walks and plays with her. I guess every boy should have a dog, and we've got 4 (almost 5) in our family.
