Emily~I'm sorry to hear you wasted an entire morning watching MJ videos!! Was there nothing else to do??

Thanks. I'm allready over the hill. I'm 41!!!

Did you guys all see that Michael Jackson died earlier this week? =( Zac and I spent all morning watching MJ videos on VH1. How did Colin take the news?

We are leaving Monday to go to Columbus and staying until Friday. We're going to the zoo and the aquarium, a huge bookstore, and of course a huge mall, lol. I'm so excited!

I will have loooots of pictures of animals to post when we get back!

Boy, the corn grows tall in Virgina!! I love the pics of the kids and the bee on the flower. Monica, you are quite the photographer!!

Abby and Landon are taking a trek through mom and dad's garden :)

Mom and dad's neighbor had her hay baled this week so the "hunters" came out for the mice !! Happy Birthday Steve!!

Trish, I think a radio anywhere near your garden gives you the right to be a redneck! LOL

Happy Birthday, Steve. I may not be on tomorrow either! I don't know who guessed that you were 40, but I was thinking 30? That makes me a lot younger too! LOL Anyway, hope you have a very relaxing day! Love you!

Happy Birthday, Steve ,and Hope you have mannnnnny mannny more.and God Bless them all Love you .

Happy Birthday to the Baby Boy!!! Let's all sing together now, you know you will!!
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to Steeeeevvveee
Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday Steve!!! I know it isn't til tomorrow but afraid I might not get on the computer!! How old 41? or 40? We are going to the Amish country so I will take lots of pictures and hopefully post them!

This is Janet on Rita's computer. Monica, don't act so surprised. I didn't do much, Addy was the muscles of the operation. However, I think carrying two kids aroun d has certainly made me a little stronger! No laughing~

Monica those are some good pictures!
Oh and Steve that would be....if you have a radio hanging in your garden that only plays COUNTRY music...you might be a redneck!

This is Coaley :)

These are some pics I took at mom and dad's a few weeks ago. They were doing some work out in the garden. Coaley enjoyed it I believe, she likes to trape through the cucumbers.

Rita, thanks for those pics on the "family affair". I have never seen Addy or Janet throwin' a bale of hay. I 'bout fell off my chair (lol). Looks like Janet had some umph behind that muscle :) Looks like it was a beautiful day for that though. It's supposed to be pretty here the rest of the week, a small chance of rain on Friday. Those were beautiful pictures of the Hocevar family that Ruth sent as well. Little Clara is growing so much!! Mommy and Daddy look so proud and blessed!!

I can hear Jeff Foxworthy now. If you have a radio hangin' in your garden...you might be a redneck! :)

Janet, Uncle Bill Sweeney has had a radio in his garden for years here in Ohio. It keeps the raccoons away.

I have not heard, but I am guessing that there is a radio in grandpa's garden. Jeff Foxworthy could read this and have material for a year!

Do you all remember the first time a deer was seen up at Daddy's? They had been playin' music (real loud, is there any other kind), and they attributed the deer showin' up to the music. Trish, you need to have Casey make a tape of his singing (screaming) and play that if you want to keep the animals (and people) away.

Good Morning all,
Mom and Dad went to the doctor last week and both got a good report. Mommys blood work was all perfect and the doctor talked about putting Mommy on the medicine for her memory but we all decided the side effects wouldn't be worth it. She also said the effects of the medicine usually only lasted for about 6 months, which I wasn't aware of; think I will have to research that one. Anyway, Daddy is anemic and his kidney functions were a little out of whack, but he takes fluid pills so that is about par for the course. One of his liver functions was elevated too but she didn't seem too concerned about it. He has been complaining alot with nausea and his side hurting. But if you could see the way he sits on the mower on the side of the hill its no wonder it hurts. I just talked to them both and he was eating breakfast and said he felt better. Jacob went up and weedeated some yesterday and sat in a chair on the lookout for squirrels. He killed one and is going back this morning. The kittens are really growing and Mommy really enjoys sitting in the swing with them on her lap.
We had a good turn out for our first night at VBS last night. And as always the kids had a really good time.
The sun is shining and it looks to be a beautiful day here in Dawson. Oh by the way, the radio by the garden; I think it will keep away intruders too. It sure keeps Lucy out of the garden. Scared her to death, she won't even go near it. Daddy might have to put one by the cellar playing rock and roll to keep the bear away! LOL

Yes, Dad is looking forward to Lee and Carol's visit. Maybe Goldie can come by as well. He said he was going to try to have all of his mowing done! The radio seems to be working out at their garden! The deer are staying out of it so far. I told Mom they might have to change stations from time to time just to keep the deer confused! They could get to lik'en that cont'rey musick! Trish you might sneak out there and get us some shots of the dancin' deer!

Boy, do those cherries look good, and I bet the birds are having a field day Cherry Pie Rita!!!!!!!!!

 

Our Cherry Tree is loaded. By the weekend, we will be eating, hopefully, faster than the birds.
It was a beautiful day here. The hay is down and drying, and it smells sooooo good. If nothing happens, we will rake and bale it tomorrow.

Please saya prayer for Olivia and Kaiden- they are sick and missing Bible school, which is not making Olivia feel any better.
