Lake Date

Last Saturday was our Lake Date with the Johnstons!

This year cousins Kinley, Anika and Brooklyn joined in the fun, too.

Construction

 There's been some construction happening in our backyard! Nathan created a couple of cute signs for the rabbits.

And he is currently working on a winter shelter for them, too.  Stay tuned!

19 days left!

We have 19 days left in our Schwans Cares Fundraiser for WalkMS. So far Schwans has donated $203 to our team!  Due to changes in their fundraising campaigns, this one is shorter than last year, so we have fewer days to reach our goal.

When you place your next Schwans.com order, follow this link www.schwans-cares.com/c/27904 or enter 27904 at check out. We will receive 20% of your order total and you get your Schwans food delivered to your home as you normally would!  If you don't normally order from Schwans, you can purchase a $25 e-gift card for someone who does and we will receive $10 of that purchase.

We really appreciate your support with this fundraiser.

(I was a bit shocked and saddened to see that they have decided to discontinue my favorite Coffee and Donuts ice cream, but with the help of my family--and cappuccino gelato--I think I should be able to power through!)

Oil Pipeline Construction

There was a bit of excitement in our area this past May as the oil pipe line construction began in our area. The pipeline will carry oil from the Bakken Oil Fields in North Dakota. Since it covered a bit of our farm ground, we had a front row seat to watch the process. 

Within a few weeks, the ground had been dug, pipeline laid and covered back up. It was definitely interesting to watch the equipment do the various jobs, and it reminded me a lot of the Gold Rush episodes we watch as they moved all of the black dirt away with bulldozers and back hoes.

Sisters Forever

Given the age difference of four years, I didn't know how or if our girls would play together growing up. The truth is, they get along wonderfully and even their disagreements don't last long.  Since the boys are usually doing their own thing, they know that there's always a built-in play mate close by.

I caught them being especially nice to each other during a rain a couple of weeks ago. :)
