crazy 2 weeks

Sorry it has been ahwile since I last blogged. We have been rather busy around here. Sunday the 3rd we has a wedding reception/open house for my brother and sister in law who are visiting from Veitnam and got married last october 22. And since my sister is pregnant, and in Vietnam they don't do baby showers we thought it would be a good idea to expose her (my sister in law) to a baby shower...so that got planned for the following Sunday the 10th. So hopefully needless to say, I have been a little busy around here, taking care of a 10 month old busy body, getting ready for a reception, getting ready for a baby shower, taking meals to the field (which they finished up harvest last Friday!), trying to spend as much time with my brother and sister in law while they are still here, and keeping the house in somewhat liveable conditions. The house got the brunt of the neglet, which I am now paying for and trying to clean up. But anyway. I am pretty terrible about taking the camera anywhere, and if I do happen to remember it I usually forget to take pictures. I will have to get pictures from my mom and sister and post some later. But in the mean time here are a few pictures I did get taken.

Not the best face, but this was his last ride in the combine for the year, kinda sad.

I love this picture, not sure if I can fix it up any to make it look better, I guess I love the idea of this picture! Its been very dry so very dusty, and on the last night of harvest you just get it done and don't worry about cleaning your windows!

Waking Up

Most of the time he wakes up like his dad...bright eyes and ready to go. Some times though, and I am cherishing these times, he wakes up and just wants to snuggle with mommy. I love it!

Fire Truck

Nose

As requested by my grandmother; I am going to try and post more often. I have wanted and tried to since I started blogging but I am really going to try real hard! :) This little cutie pie scrunches his nose up and gives this big ole cheeser its so adorable. Makes me laugh just thinking about it! Here are some of the different stages of his cheese. He knows when the camera is out and will really cheese it up after the flash goes off, so we are working on learning to cheese when mommy says "say cheese".

Oh man I love this guy so much!

Standing

10 Months! 10 months, and this little guy is walking holding on to only 1 hand and that is only for security.

He stands on his own and gets into every cabinet.

He loves playing in the dishwasher and chewing on that silcone basting brush.

Labor Day

Some people have the day off today...but we started cutting beans.

June, July, and August

Wow, where has time gone? I can't believe it has been 2 and a half months since I posted anything. We have been awfully busy around here. The end of June was filled with baling. We baled straw and hay, and were running around everywhere trying to get it all done before the rain came. In between that, I was busy with green beans and peas from the garden, at least I think so, I kinda forget the exact time line of these past few months. But anyway here is a picture of some of the straw bales stacked in the barn.

What a cutie pie. Looking back at pictures he has changed so much.

We took a weekend and went to visit Sam's parents. Abraham had his first time in the pool and he loved it.

Look at those cute little feet. Abraham is now crawling, pulling himself up, and getting into everything. He likes to sit at his toy basket and get everything out. There are quite a few pictures of him in the same outfit here, but I guess I just take pictures those days, he is pretty cute in it! (I have no idea why this is underlined, and I can't figure out how to undo it)

This is what happens when I don't put cloths away right away. This is also a good shot of his teeth, there are 4 on top 3 on bottom and 1 more almost through on the bottom. We had a miserable couple weeks awhile ago, 5 teeth came through at 1 time. A week was spent doing peaches, and we are now in the midst of tomatoes. Our garden has done pretty well for us this year, our sweet corn came up and put ears on, but before it was ever ready something ate it. We are blessed to have a pretty full freezer for the coming winter. We are looking forward to harvest, which is fast approaching.
