Baby Bump.

I can't tell you how much we adore our two year old. She is by far our greatest accomplishment and blessing. We can't imagine producing similar quality product, but my friends it is happening!
Check out our belly bump at 12 weeks. We had a doctor's apt. today and Hailee wanted a turn after me. It was an extremely adorable moment. She got up there, showed her belly, and asked, "lotion, on me?." We were able to find a strong heartbeat and can't wait for baby 2, due the end of January!!!!




We are BUSY!

WE have been so busy! Curt is always busy working away, ussually dark to dark, with a short lunch break. I am sure over time I will get used to this, but it has yet to happen.....

Summer is fun especially when we have so many fun people and things around us. Curt's sisters came up for a while this summer to play on the farm. We had tons of long days, full of work and play. A lot gets done with helping hands. So much thanks to Cheri, Mike, Christina, Curtis, Nic and Trudy, AJ, Lori, Jack, Jase, Evan, and many more. This has been an exciting summer and we have appreciated all the help and company!

We have spent some time working with and enjoying the horses.


We have ate yummy food, esspecially ice cream!


We clean a lot, esspecially with ALL of our special guests we have had this summer. It has been SOOOO Crazy!

Fun Boys.

We went on a few rides!

Some on horses, others using horse power.


And some just on a lonely saddle.

But to be honest not a thing was lonely about this summer. We have had a great time!
