All American Girl

Here are a couple photos of baby Jordynn, she is a cute little girl and is very good most of the time. But as you can tell in the picture she did not like her bath. We sure enjoyed having her here for a few days and her Mommy and Daddy too.

When they got here Friday night Dustin gave her to Eric, who of course acted like he had never held a baby before.(it's good practice) But as you can see from the contented look on her face he has a pretty comfortable chest.(I'll agree with her)
Well I hope all of you had a good Memorial Day, we went to our church picnic and then this evening we are having supper with Merlin and Kim. We have had a very good day so far. Hope you are having fun Mom and Dad. Take lots of pictures and find me a good souvenir. Aye Aye Captain.

Getting ready for the weekend...

Sorry there have not been any exciting post this week. I have been sick with a really bad cold all week and you know how it is when you don't feel good. I am getting better now and getting the house cleaned up because we are having company this weekend. Dustin, Jessica and baby Jordynn are coming to see up. I am very happy, I will get to spoil her rotten. The weather(rain again) around here does not seem to know that this is a holiday weekend and I need to mow the yard this evening, so we can have a "family" picnic Sunday noon.

Before I close I'd better throw in something about Payton, what good would this post be if I left her out. Well anyway yesterday she was sitting on my lap, I told her she needed to get up cause I need to do some housework, she then looked at me and said "Your house is a mess...Your Fired!" So I guess I really don't have to clean the house after all the boss had spoken.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and remembers the ones who have died to give us this freedom.

OK who was it?

Just who did not pray hard enough? We had some rain last night but just enough to keep them out of the fields this morning, they should be able to be back in this afternoon. Thank You for your prayers, I am sure that is what kept the rain from really coming down because it was looking like it was going to be a doozy of a storm.

Out here in the field...

Here is some pictures of Eric planting corn. He will be very happy to know I am posting tractor pictures. The guys were able to get in the field Saturday and Today and we were hoping the rest of the week would stay dry so they could get a lot more work done. But unfortunately the wind had picked up and it is lightning and thundering, we really don't need more rain, we are already very behind in our planting. Please help pray that the rain will stay away for the next couple of weeks.
Here is a view from my seat in the tractor. Sometimes it can be a very bumpy ride.
And last but not least Payton sitting on her stool eating Goldfish. She loves to ride with Eric and it is even better when he let's her "drive."
Come visit us everyone we would love to show you the farm and who knows Payton might even let you sit on her stool in the tractor.

Nothing going on...

Well I thought I would let everyone one that we are still alive in Iowa. I have been busy working in the yard and playing with Payton. Yesterday I got the yard mowed and Eric did the trimming so our yard looks good for another week. Right now it is about 80 degrees and there is a breeze blowing, I think I will go lay in the hammock, since my husband is planting corn and I don't have much else to do. I just be lazy. Well I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Around the house...

Free finger painting lessons. Isn't this a work of art? It started out being red, blue, green and yellow but soon became one dark color. Payton had a good time painting a "dinosaur" and then her face. Good thing it is washable.
We can't wait for some nice warm weather. I got Payton this swimsuit at a resale shop the other day, it was just too cute to pass up. She tried it on and then wanted to go get in the swimming "cool." Well I am sure it will warm up soon enough and then we will be wanting cooler weather.
