Dog tired!

Yep, we're dog tired!! With Bruce getting ready for our roofing company to restart this coming monday, there is so much to do. He has been hauling equipment and materials back down to our hangar so our crew will be back to work on monday. Things will be kicking it up a knotch now - in a whirlwind of roofing activity. I have much to do in the office, looks like a hurricane hit, so next week will be devoted to shuffling papers, organizing files, and maybe even do a little sewing on the side.

Wednesday morning I headed to Mulvane to help Eric and Theresa out since Theresa had been in the hospital in Wichita. She is home now and doing much better and I feel like things are getting back to normal. Thanks to all for all your prayers. In my next blog, I will try to catch up with pictures from their household. Konnor is really growing and is now six weeks old!! Hard to believe. :)

Dog Tired - Bruce or

Emmy. . . .

Took a short trip down the road from our house to see neighbor Blake and all of his animals. The kids enjoyed the coondogs - Annie, Scrappy, and Spitter.

I don't know why, but all horses are attracted to K-Girl. Blake's Blackie is checking her out while Kolsen was enjoying the scenery.

Blake's new foal "Hotrod", or at least that's what he's calling him for now....
Enjoyed the cats, chickens, dogs, horses, and donkey! Thanks Blake!

The kids all enjoyed playing with the roughhouser - Emmy! She ate it up too!

Back in Kansas!!!

This blog cannot possibly illustrate how busy we have been because so many times I either couldn't find my camera, misplaced my camera, batteries were rundown, etc. But we had a great time with all the grandkids here at the FARM. After getting back from spending about 5 days in MN playing with all the kids up there, we headed back to Kansas with a couple extra passengers. K-Man and K-Girl got to come home and are now at the other grandparents having more fun there. The weather didn't always cooperate but luckily Eric brought home his 2 oldest -Moose and Bugs - to play and play they did. I'm sure all the pictures below are self explanatory but just contact kids for more details. Thanks to all for letting them come home!! We said a lot of extra special prayers for Mommy Theresa since she has been in the hospital and we pray she is on the road to recovery now!! Yea, you have sure had a rough road and thanks to Eric for taking extra special care of everyone and Mary too!! God Bless you all!! and Miss you all very much..

Cruisin to Mulvane ~~~

I'm back home now so I'm blogging before we take off in the morning to head north to visit our MN K-Kids. We're always excited to visit since we don't get to play very often. Since Konnor's early arrival - we've been to birthday parties, Elmo Live, Bruce's knee surgery, helping out at the Mulvane household, and now transitioning to go north. I'm a little bit tired, but hope to rest up a little tonite. After cleaning and doing around 8 loads of laundry, making beds, putting things away, and packing, I think we are ready.

Our little Konnor is wide awake here and such a cutie!! He actually smiled and was cooing at me last evening. He's 4 weeks old today. And he's sure filling out his newborn outfits now and working on a double chin as all babies do.

Our little man - Konnor
Daddy and Buggy playing!!

Mommy and Konnor. He's always very close to Mommy....

ELMO LIVE

Elmo and crew - it sure was so colorful and entertaining!!!

I had soooooo much fun - and so did Katie!!

Daddy, Kelton and Bugs all enjoying the action and music!!

Like Katie said - "WOW"!!!!!!!!

Got our Elmo, cotton candy, and necessary "stuff". What a great day! Katie said that Elmo and Zoe went "home".

Look who turned 2....

Last weekend was fun getting to go to Mulvane and celebrate Bugs 2nd Birthday. We decided to bring L.T. and surprise Katie for her birthday. She loves L.T. and L.T. loves her. Again, I uploaded pictures out of order, oh well, that's the way it goes.....

Below is a stained glass project that I am working on at Bearden's Stained Glass in Wichita. I have learned a lot, and have one class left. The project below still needed more glass cut, but I am working on soddering it now. Sure is a lot of fun. Someday soon, I hope to go out and play with Peggy in her studio and enjoy our craft together. This project is suppose to resemble the buttes in the Gyp Hills area. I changed the pattern significantly and added a pond also. I'll be going to Elmo Live with the kids on sunday, Bruce has knee surgery on monday, and then I'll be in Mulvane the rest of the week. Should be another busy one - sure glad I retired! HA! I am so thankful that I am available!!!

Jason and Eric had a few moments to chat - we are so excited Jason will be marrying Dolly very soon!! It's about time, Stretch.....

Papa spent some time with grandson, Konnor, he is such a little doll!!

Katie feeding her new stuffed animal, L.T. She has a great imagination....

She sure loves her babies too! They will be well fed from now on!

L.T. sniffing out a rabbit in the back yard! He began to pull the wood out of the wood pile to get to the poor terrified bunny, but we talked him into quitting.

Katie enjoying the backyard before the party!!

Watching L.T. and Jasmine - they look so funny together!! What a great day!!
