Those Boys and a Boat

Those two oldest boys went to an auction with their dad.
They are always on the look out for the next good deal.
So this time they came home with a boat.
They promised to mow the yard all summer to pay for the boat.
So they have been working hard to pay for the boat they are enjoying this summer.
They have plans to sell it and make a profit.  Just like dad.

Spending The Day On Our Land...

My heart longs to be here...our little piece of God's beautiful creation...
Before my boys are grown and gone, I want to see them roaming over these hills,
taming this land.  I want to get there in time to see them building forts and cabins and marching up the dirt road playing civil war.  I want to see camp-outs and animals roaming the pastures and the beginnings of an orchard.  I want to take the hands of my youngest littles and walk with nature notebooks and eyes full of wonder.  I want to take a stroll hand in hand with my love dreaming our dreams for this beautiful place.

Sewing Camp Fun...


Miss LouLou and Little Bitty participated in summer sewing camp this year.
This was Miss LouLou's second year.
Last year I went with her and helped her make lots of stitches.
She couldn't quite hold the project and make the stitches too.
After a year of practice at home, she was Miss Independent this year!
She wanted to complete each project all by herself.
She did a fabulous job with each project but she was a little slow because she insisted on doing everything from start to finish.

It was good that LouLou was independent because Little Bitty required my undivided attention.
This was her first year and she loved picking out fabric and buttons but those little hands could not hold the material and do stitches at the same time.  When momma held the material she was only good for about ten stitches before it was my turn.  I know she learned a lot and she will be on the road to becoming Miss Independent next year!

On Friday, they had a show and tell and MawMaw Tina came and looked at all of the beautiful things they has made...

White Clover Crowns and Daddy Time

I peeked out the window and caught a glimpse of a beautiful picture...
The yard full of white clover flowers...
and right in the middle...daddy...making white clover crowns for his girls...
The shots were a bit blurry, but its a memory I don't want to forget...
