This was Andrea's first Homecoming Dance.
Her dress was both modest and beautiful...
She looked like a movie star!
Absolutely stunning.
The flower, girls love flowers!
They had fun: miniature golf in the afternoon and dinner in the evening.
Andrea and Alex - Homecoming 2010
The boys went on a field trip this month...
Our lovely friend, Bridget, let them come over and ride her beautiful horses.
The boys were so excited and had a wonderful time!
They treated the horses well and rode like naturals.
This one is a mule.
Michael loved this horse, Fata. She had to be put down this week. She was very old and had complications. 
Now they think they want a horse of their own.
So, my baby turned 8 this month...
He's pretty happy about it!
We had a big party, Michael planned the whole thing.
From Mario Kart on the Wii...
Which was a huge hit with all of his friends...
To the best squirt gun war EVER!
Oh yeah...
Game on!!!
The best part about turning eight? Getting baptized. We're so proud of you Michael, for making this wonderful decision. WE LOVE YOU!!!
Nothing says fun in the country like...
A tractor...
A trailer...
Hay bales...
Family...
And friends...
Out on our beautiful land...
Until the sun goes down.
We had so much fun doing a 4th of July BBQ last year, that we had another one this year. With the rain, we had to do the grilling in the garage, as soon as it cleared...we moved out of the garage. It was so hot!
The teenagers were fascinated by the stories
Kids, kids and MORE kids...LOL
One of the cutest kids...Blake.
Freedom, food, friends, fun and fireworks...
Who knew how much fun could be had...
With two gloves and a ball.
Daniel LOVES it and doesn't have any trouble
Bella and Ginger thinks it looks like fun too.
And wait, with anticipation, for the ball to get loose again.
Last week, our Dennison cousins came to visit,
We all had a great time and played hard all week.
Dutch oven dinners...
Bonfires with s'mores and starbursts,
Playing with the puppies, going to the movies, swimming...
Riding the four wheelers in the fields...
A LOT of four-wheeling!
Double dates for the boys and parents...
The girls went to the local dairy TWICE!
We went sightseeing...
Just because Lizzie could do it, ha!
What a crazy crew...
