July Adventures

Well, another month has come and gone and now its time to post some pictures of the last 31 days :)

For the 4th of July we went to the Cook's party. They had a.... well, its a lake really, not a pond that was fun to go canoeing on with Ashley and Autumn.

Ashley should start telling people when they are in a selfie with her.... it might just turn out better ;)

Going for a walk

The view was beautiful after dinner

Chillin'

The amazing firework display!

And the next morning... well lets just say that as far as hitting deer go, Mom and Dad are now tied.

The kids.......

Later that week we processed 150 chickens. 130 of them we had to cut up. These are the new labels for them :)

Izzy's favorite rabbit was born this month! Ashley claimed it and named it Midnight.

The growing pigs! The other ones went to the butcher....

The neighbors had a pretty neat show about a week later. It was nice to watch while gathering eggs.

How to beat the heat! Throwing people is more fun than throwing balls

We found a pretty good size tadpole. By 'we' I mean I found it and Izzy caught it.

Katherine liked being on land better than in the water

Joe had fun!

Walking in water

These are so pretty!

She loves Cally! She now likes grabbing her by her neck to pick her up. I think she is a little too comfortable with some of the animals.

So photogenic too!

This was my only completed art project for the month. I did work on others, but they aren't finished yet.

Apparently somebody left the waffle batter bowl in reach for Katherine. She must have thought it was facial cream. Anyhow, I thought I should take a picture of it before cleaning her up :)

I thought this was kinda funny considering the size of the lamb nursing!

Just......can't.......reach.....that....camera!

Hi there!

You can probably guess what happened 2 seconds after this was taken ;)

I guess Anna and I really do look a lot alike!

Aw, yes, lots of canning. I don't have a picture of all the jars, because I did smaller batches more often, but it has added up to quite a few jars after one month!

She wanted to join me in the garden

Norah is really happy with how her part of the garden is turning out!

Peyton lovers her flowers!

This picture describes Peyton pretty well actually.

Mower selfies

I filled this size bowl up twice with homemade salsa from tomatoes and most of the other ingredients from the garden! Plus we had canned a lot of tomato sauce as well!

This took a LONG time!

I can fill this bowl up about 3 times in one day from picking!

Going for a ride

Highway pictures are fun to do

Berry picking at the neighbors! Its that time of year again. We went over about 3 times. It was awesome!

Hot and sweaty, but worth it!

This calls for more canning!

We got some distillers grain in Branson to give to the pigs and chickens. It looked like chocolate milk..... that smelled like alcohol....is the way to describe it.
