Cinderella Pumpkin!

With the extra help of Isabel and Grandpa’s cultivator we finally cleaned the pumpkin, zucchini, squash patch and located another Cinderella pumpkin!  The wet weather we’ve had since June 30 must have helped it germinate and grow.  This time we put a tire around it!

Summer weather

We had a little bit of a tornado scare but thank goodness nothing amounted of it on Tuesday night. 

Pretty flowers are blooming in the butterfly garden.
Grandpa was able to cultivate the sweet corn! With the rains we’ve been getting, it’s really shot up!
A “HUGE” 🍓.
Played baseball against Richardton today.

Daughter

I’ve convinced myself that Mary is 100% Andrew and doesn’t look like me at all, until someone reminded me to compare same age photos, maybe she does look a little like me.

Double Time

There’s been a break in the damp weather so Grandpa and Andrew worked double time to get the 2nd field raked and baled this evening!

Our view of the field on our way home from baseball practice tonight.

Church project

The secretary at St. Ann’s in Hebron gave all of the children a flat Jesus to take a picture of happenings they are doing this summer.  Here are a few things the children have been up to that we shared and thought I would share these pictures with you too.

Jesus, Simon, and a Baby chick.

Can’t forget about Fluffy!

Happy 4th of July!

God Bless America & Happy birthday USA!

We were able to host the Jacobson clan and catch a Medora Musical show!
Went to a ball game, but due to lightning it was rescheduled. Photo by Grandma Jen.
Heartwrenching for the boys, the first rain we received blew away the Cinderella pumpkin, they found it and replanted it, apparently we should have either staked it or put a tire around it to protect it… little fellas were so sad.
Collecting eggs with the Minnesota cousins.
Simon was able to show Alex the ponies.

Grandma Jen takes some really good photos!

All in a Day’s Work

Watching the ducklings is fun!  Simon is a blast to watch at baseball!  We also got to sample the cousins snocones!

First batter up and hit the first pitch, great way to start the game!
1.5 inches of rain last night and this morning!
He just had to use his umbrella to gather the eggs and take Skipper for a walk.

Ducklings

Well, after hearing about Clementine (aka don’t go in the water!), the boys and I drove the ducklings to the water. It was so fun to see and to hear the boys’ glee.

 

Here’s a little clip for you!
I sure hope these three troopers enjoy sweet corn, they’re giving it their best to get some to grow. I told Andrew that we should hold a “Tom Sawyer contest.” Anybody can join, just bring $5, put it in a hat and have a race to clean the corn rows, winner takes all!
Andrew finished up the second field and is now cutting in the prairie grass/alfalfa field in the marsh. He’s making hay in the marsh…tee hee, get it, Haymarsh.
Ambrose got his first flower to bloom in his butterfly garden, “yay!”

Mary is 6 Months Old & Baby chicks have arrived!

6 months ago, Andrew & I were so blessed to have our sweet baby girl!

Andrew ran to town at 6:45 this morning after we received a call from the post office, and he came back to an excited and cheerful house ready to greet the new baby chicks!

6 months old!
Rhode Island Reds.
Red strawberries! We made sure that Daddy got the first one!
Snap peas.
6 months old today and getting a taste of a snap pea!
Snap peas…mmm!
These two brothers care so tenderly for this pumpkin plant that grew from a seed sent from the Minnesota grandparents!
Mowing a ditch.
Catching up on the day!
Such a sweet, bright, and happy little girl!
