Times Flies!!!

Well it is almost July 1st. 20 minutes away...  Where has the month of June went.   Well at our house we have had LOTS of rain, ball games, and trips to Des Moines for Dr. visits.....

Jacob has playing on the Minors team in Mt. Ayr this year.  We went to many weekend tournaments and had many games in the evening.  He learn a lot and has met some new friends.  I also met some new mom's that are a lot of fun to be around.  We have a few unplanned pool parties, but they all worked out good.  Nothing like buying 10 packages of Hotdogs/ buns and tell everyone to bring a side.  It was fun times!!!

Justin has had a few procedures/ test done.  One test didn't work the first time so he had to get it done again.  This kid LOVES going to get medical stuff done.  Jeremy and I think he likes it a bit too much!!!  They still haven't given us any answers on Justin.  I told Jeremy as long as he is getting along ok I am just going give him break for a bit.  I fell like his throat is never going to heal if we keep going down it...

Then there is Joey.  Joey had a MRI done on Monday June 15.  He has had a bump on his head since his skull fracture back in Jan. 2014.  Thankfully they called and it came back all good.  Then on Sunday we were in Menards shopping and he was sitting on the shopping cart. The cart got bumped and he flipped off backwards and hit the back of his head.  After 5 hours in the ER they let us go home.  the bump has went down and he is back to climbing. 

Jeremy has been trying to get hay put up.  We finally got some baled today right before the rain hit again.  This rainy weather is crazy.  I have been helping Jacob get heifers ready for county fair that starts next wed.  he had 4 tied up but I decided 2 heifers and 3 kids is plenty to deal with. 

The boys looking forward to spending the evening of the 4th at Clearfield, doing the pedal pull, and playing in the inflatables.  I just hope we can go a few weeks with NO DR. visits!!!!!

Jacob's awards!!!

Well 4th grade has came to an end!!!  Jacob had the best teacher every Mrs. lynch.  She was so good with him and of course loved my FARM kid.  At awards day he received an award for perfect attendance.  I am very proud of him for this.  Not one day did I have to yell at him to get up or get ready for school.  He is always up and ready and usually woke Jeremy up.  He received an award for scoring high on his basic skills. especially in Science.  He also received a reading award.  I still can't believe he will be in 5th grade, Joey will be Kindergarten and Justin will go to preschool in the afternoons!!!   Jacob also has a special girl named Eva!!!

memorial day weekend!!!

We started of memorial day by celebrating Jeremy's 20 year class reunion.  We enjoy a night of visiting at Fireside and then went out to Fogle lake.  We hired a sitter for the night.  The boys loved her.  The best part was she cleaned the basement!!! 

We also attended the Durrell reunion.  Jeremy enjoyed visiting with his Uncle Dennis. Then we went on a nice ride.  Since we have had soo much rain staying home get overwhelming.


The rest of the weekend was spent doing the normal farming chores.  Washing heifers, spraying thistle.  Jeremy has been spending lots of time working on his new farm he bought.
