Awesome pig roast! My godson Travis on the left, brother-in-law Ron on the right with just a little bit of Dave in the brown shirt. Lots of great food, wonderful family and sounds like it's going to be an annual event! Good times!

Some serious bean bag games going on!

This is the first thing we saw when we got to the Farm Tech Days.

Courtney had just painted Drew's toes.

I thought this was a Llama but it is an Alpaca.

Randy playing with the big toys!

One of the 6 food tents that Smith Bros was cooking at. What a treat to have such good food to eat for the day, we are truly spoiled!

Austyn was getting bored!

Nash the beast!

Dave busy cooking.

Everybody had to get their picture taken in the big tractor tire, here's Lia.

We were seriously considering purchasing a few of these......kept the kids busy for quite a while!

Barn tour!

Boy I love summer time, there is always something going on every weekend! Sometimes that is a bad thing because we have to decide what we have to miss but usually everything falls pretty good and we seldom miss anything. Here are some pictures of what we've been doing lately! Hope your Summer is as enjoyable as ours has been so far!

Summer Time!!!!!

Summer sure had a slow start this year, actually we were all wondering if it was ever going to get here! But today it is here in full force.....88 degrees and climbing! Now I know that doesn't sound so hot to some people but here in Wisconsin that is HOT! Especially with the heat index at 100! I have to apologize for being so lacs in my posting I've been having some health issues, stomach pains turned into finding out I have a kidney stone which my young doctor is all excited about because he says "It's the biggest one I've ever seen!" Wow, so happy for you....not!! So I was scheduled for surgery but was having a hard time getting rid of a nasty cough, wait a minute, not just a cough, turns out to be pneumonia! So surgery off til pneumonia is gone. This was all a month ago. I finally am rid of the pneumonia and am scheduled for surgery on the 11th. I can finally see an end to the stomach pains! So my summer hasn't been going the very best so far and I've been neglecting my poor D90 because I have an iphone now with this wonderfully fun application called instagram. The girls introduced me to it and the iphone and it is almost impossible to stop playing with the whole package.So today I just have some random pictures of summer so far, hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather and staying cool, especially today!

Baya

Creeper husband Randy! I saved this picture so when he calls me this is the face that comes up on my screen.

One of my many appointments at the clinic I had time to go eat so I went to the near by park just to get out of that stinkin clinic, it is so exhausting being there all day, so this was a nice break for lunch and I saw all these cute little geese running around with their mothers!

I miss one day at Courtneys and look what happens?!?!  Austyn is riding without training wheels!

And Tayt riding with no training wheels.....WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!1

Flowers out by our shop.

Luke thought he had a lot of sand on him but that was nothing compared to Jax, see following picture!



Jax man actually looks like he planted his face in the sandbox



My garden or at least the start of it.



I wish I could say I did this on purpose but no way, I was trying to get Nash with the hose and Lia threw a bucket of water at Lukey standing next to me, but it was a pretty cool shot!

Pretty Miss Drew laughing at Tayt standing next to me.

We have had these apple trees for a few years now and every year Randy says"when are they going to have apples on them?" Like I would know?!?! The other day I heard him yelling "LAURIE WE HAVE APPLES LAURIE WE HAVE APPLES!" Pretty exciting stuff for us....I know, we're getting old!
