God's Blessings!

I couldn't resist taking some more pictures outside since we still have beautiful fall weather. I know our days are numbered before we realize the cold northerners and snow and ice. I haven't gotten a picture of our calf crop but I'll try to do that real soon before they all grow up!! With all the beautiful trees it isn't hard to see God's creating masterpieces everyday..... Who could possibly doubt it after looking outside and to the heavens!! We are blessed indeed.. Let us give Thanks everyday!!

We still have mums, but I think their days are numbered!!


This shot was taken on Locust Street in Alva at one of our jobsites. Aren't the tree gorgeous??

The same street, only a different direction taken with my Blackberry...

The triticale is growing - I don't know how - we sooooo need a rain.

The leaves are still falling - such a beautiful FALL!!

A shot from the deck!

And Emmy was begging to have her picture taken!! What a mug......

Only two weeks under Thanksgiving and then a short month until Christmas!! The year is speeding by - let us all enjoy each other, our families, friends, and our home sweet home! Blessings to you all!

Exploring Exploration Place

On friday, the 29th of October, Bruce and I headed to Mulvane to visist 3 of our Papon grandkids. On saturday, we got to take Katie and Kelton to explore Exploration Place in Wichita while little Konnor was getting his pictures taken with mom and dad. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day. So the day begins.......

Konnor after his trip to Wichita. Isn't he changing??

Arriving at Exploration Place the kids had more fun watching the ducks.


This photo was later when we were all starving so we had a little snack break.

Kelton was cutting wheat in this picture. He didn't want to leave the combine!!

Pilot Kelton giving a try at the Wright flyer.

and of course, Katie had to give it a try too. This is very, very, hard!

I think the 172 flight simulator was the most intriguing to Kelton. We were amazed at how well he did!

I swear, Katie tried to touch this bullnose snake in its cage! Ickky...

They both loved milking the cow named Molly.

Kelton was very brave and touched a python snake - so did Nana- but not Katie and Papa.

This exhibit is when you first walked in. An assortment of balls making their way up and down and around! Was amazing.....

So after about 3 hours at Exploration Place, we headed to Taco Bell for our lunch and then home just before Mom, Dad, and Konnor arrived. Everyone had a fun filled day and when we arrived home, found 3 brand new baby calves....... We hope to go back to Exploration Place again very soon.
