Mac has decided it's great fun to ride the bales as we move and load them and has even stayed on when Rod was loading one up on the trailer! It's the neatest thing to hear Rod say, "Load up Mackers!" and then see Mac run, jump and scramble right up the side of the bale! I took this picture when the two of them came driving by the house yesterday.

These are some pics of the kids with their friends Andrew and Ashley. We had a great time the other Sunday at their home!

Bales

If you look really closely, behind the bales in the field, there is a bumpy line. (Don't know if it works for everyone, but my computer lets me double click on any picture in a blog and it will pull up a larger version of it!) - Well, that bumpy line? Those are all bales lining the road!

We have baled up 1800 cornstalk bales so far.   It's so cool to look out my kitchen window and know we did all that! I now know why farmers farm! It feels so good to put in a hard day's work and then be able to really see the results like this! 

Thank you Ya-Ya!

Here are the girls all dressed up in the fun things that came in the mail from Ya-Ya (my mom). Oh, the fun they have had with it all! And the candy was the first to go! ;-) 

Hope

I was on the computer blogging tonight and Hope decided to climb up on the bathroom counter and brush her hair in the mirror. I just had to take some pics of her. She was pretty serious about it! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here are the kiddos on Halloween. Brenda took Tonya, two of their cousins and our kids trick or treating and they had a great time! Rod and I were working in the field, so they were sweet enough to stop by my tractor and let me take pics really quick before they headed out. Renee shared this one of all the kids from when they stopped at her house. 

Beau was a tootsie roll, Kaylee a princess on a horse, Tristan was a cowboy, Colter a cow, Tonya was Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, and Hope was a bunny. Aren't they cute?

Bale to Bale

Peek-a-boo! This is Hope peeking out from between the 1500-1800 lb bales we have put up in the yard at our place.  Daddy taught the kids and I a fun new game the other weekend. Kaylee calls it Bale-to-Bale. And once we all got over our fear of jumping, it was a blast, and the kids are now fearless! Even Mac joined in the fun! It's the kids' favorite game now.
