WOW!!!

I really can say a whole lot more than that!  

We have been sooooo busy with life here that I have neglected my blog.

I can't believe how fast this month flew by.  

 Now I'm left with a jumble of things to try to figure out how to post.  Pretty funny!  

Starting with Camps, birthdays, weddings, showers, school, cooking, house projects you name it.  

Life is good!!!

 Go-cart days are here once again!

The boys fixed it and now our neighbors are enjoying the beautiful music of the go-cart!

Little tikes love to be a part of 

whatever is happening around here!

And little sister knows how to enjoy a ride with her brothers!

 Jeremy's 8th birthday! 

 He got some storm-proof matches!

Boys and matches, knives, and squirrel calls!

What a birthday!

Cameron turns 12!

 

If you are wondering... 

Cameron asked for chocolate sheet cake.  

That is why the candles are bigger than the cake!!!  =)

Monarch Butterfly in my flower garden.

I would show you my garden but it's not much!  =)

Elyse's first time making

 chocolate chip cookies by herself!

She didn't think she could do it. 

 I read the recipe and she followed the directions.

They were the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

The Mississippi Kites Take to the Sky!!!

I started out this beautiful day watering my garden with my camera on my shoulder.  

I was so excited to have recorded the baby falcons flying!

God's Creation is so amazing...  

One of the babies is not confident enough to fly so the mamma has to kind of push him off the branch.  

The other one just follows.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the short clip.

This army hat belonged to Uncle Russell when he was drafted in the Korean War.

He passed it on to Eric when he was a little boy.

The True Story

It really wasn't moved with just a "click and a snap." 

And I did not want anyone to think that it had. So now, I am posting the  pictures of how the shed was really moved.

It was pretty tricky but, not hard.  

But since I didn't do most of the work...  Michael, Cameron, Jeremy and Eric might all have something to say about it.

Eric  came up with the idea of using a jack to lift the shed and put 4x4's down to act as a sort of track. The shed would then roll on 3 steel poles that would act as "wheels".

Of course, when we ran out of track or rollers guess who had to do the work??? Me!  J/K

We used the car to push or pull the shed at times. 

The shed was secured to nearby trees as anchors to keep it from toppling.  

There was some fast scrambling and some hollering when we all thought we might lose the shed down a 3 foot swell on one side of our property. 

Nobody was hurt and over all we had a great time working together.

P.S. The shed still is not where it needs to be. 

The Moving of "The Shed" to

 Stonehenge

It has been moved!

 It no longer sits directly behind our house.

It was moved just like the stones were in Old Britain.

He picked it up...

 It was done (with a click and a snap) just like that...

Ok. Ok. Well....Yes Eric did use help.  

Can you tell that these two were working really hard???

They look it.  Right??

How about Cameron ??? 

If Elyse hadn't been using all her face muscles

who knows were we'd be!!!

Here is our greatest helper!
