Some summer events

Okay to begin with I have had the hardest time trying to post these pictures I don't know if it was blogger, my computer or my ability to use a computer...........but it has took days and my computer has threatened to shut down completely but finally here we are except for one picture and I will try again or maybe on another post. Picture above is of some of the tomatoes and beets that I was able to can this summer. Summer is swiftly passing. School starts here next week and the General Assembly is only a month away. I love fall but I dread winter so that puts a damper on fall to me.

Isaac looks a little ornery in this photo however I wonder what Savannah and Aleah were up to behind him.............hmmmm.

Maybe this one will give a clue.......................lol

Savannah is playing with Lillie. I hope they all enjoyed their visit as much as we did.

We also added another member to our family on July 28th, another boy, Tyler Cayden Hays. We are so blessed!

I tried soooo hard to get a picture of Ty and Ashton but it just wasn't going to happen so maybe next post.

UPDATE

Well this is old news but we did find a "burro" at Arizona however we didn't find the origional taste that we once had out there. this is one of the scenes that we found it is at Clifton-Morenci area , a couple of mining twin towns that are built on hills and are so neat.

We went up to Pinal mountain (tho not all the way to the top) , we went to Roosevelt Lake and couldn't get down to it like we used to. We also went to some indian ruins that were very neat. It was funny that they were right by where we used to live and we never knew that they were there.

Tammy got sick so they weren't able to come and meet with us after all so we enjoyed it all by ourselves and it was very interesting and fun. We would have rather they were able to come and see it but maybe next time. After we was home for about a week we left to go to Colo. to pick up Jamey and the kids and bring them here and Arkansas for a 2-week visit . We took them to Ar. on our way to our regional convention and they were able to be at most of the convention as well. It was great. Her parents will bring her here this next Sunday and we will either take her back home or Dustin will come here and pick her up depends on when little Ty decides to come or the Doc decides that it is time and helps it along.

In the meantime I am resting and enjoying my home. I was able to can some pickled beets tonight. I hope they turn out okay.

Well I will close this out and get to bed so I can meet tomorrows task with renewed energy..........lol good night all.

Arizona

Well tomorrow we are heading to Arizona to meet up with Scott and Tammy and do some sight seeing and to hopefully find an origional burro to eat.............YUM.
We are tired and ready for a vacation and Scott kinda wanted us to show him some of the places we used to live and go when we lived there. So be it far from us to disappoint........lol
A lot of people don't like road trips but we love them it is soo relaxing to us maybe because in the early years of our marriage we were in construction work and we traveled all the time and we loved it and still love to see new sites and just take our time and do whatever we want when we want. Sometimes since we are old.........lol the tight schedules really make us ready to go.

SO ARIZONA HERE WE COME.

Insomnia

Okay its 5:45 A.M. and I have been awake since 2 I really don't know why I finually got tired of trying to get back to sleep so I just got up and made coffee and decided to blog. I can really get wound up when I have a lot going on and things hanging over my head to get done so I guess that plays a big part in my insomnia. I also get really burdened for people that are going thru hard times and wake up thinking of them and praying for them.
These scriptures really spoke to me yesterday about waiting on the Lord when we need help and a miracle so I thot I would share them.
The Lord spoke to his people when they had been taken captive and were waiting for deliverance and His promise to come.

Zechariah 8: 16-17
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates; And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate , saith the Lord.

Surely this will work for us too as we wait for His promises and we will be ready to receive when the time comes.

I hope everyone is having a great summer we are loving getting out and enjoying the great weather and staying busy.

Until next time tata for now.

p.s. I'm waiting to get some pictures before finishing my childhood memories.

Happy birthday Heather thanks for helping me to get this glitter graphic on my blog. Maybe I can get it in the future sorry to all those that had to have a generic Happy Birthday message.

What I have been doing

What have I been doing? I have been very busy and I haven't had any inspiration for blog writing either so I just put it off.
We went to Alma, Ar. last Saturday to meet some old friends and have lunch with them and we had sooo much fun. We haven't seen or been in contact with them for seven years and it was so good to see them and kinda catch up on some news. We plan to visit more soon when things settle down for us a little bit more. June and July seem to be so booked up but maybe we can squeeze another visit in in the middle of all the chaos.

We are also resealing our kitchen cabinet tops and they look so good better than when they were new we must not have done them right the first time and I'm so glad that we finually caught on......lol.

We had great services Sunday. We had visitors from Wichita, Kansas and we really enjoyed the saxophone playing and the fellowship with them.

Summer seems to have brought a whole list of activities and responsibilities to do and keep us busy and it has been fun.

We have the shop finished except for the paint and Slug is like a kid with a new toy. He spends every day outside as long as it is daylight. How I (and he) longed for these days during the winter months. Hopefully next winter he can just get out there in that shop and stay busy and not be so bored. I can keep myself busy in the house forever, its big and it keeps me busy keeping it up.

Well thats about all that has been going on with us the Jareds are coming this Sunday to visit and they haven't seen our house yet so they will come out and spend the day with us we are looking forward to that.

We are having a baby shower for Derek and LeAnndra on the 20th so that is the next big project.

I got a new camera and it is a nice one hopefully I will learn about it and be able to post some good pictures in the future. In the meantime happy blogging to everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEAH

Aleah is three today and such a little lady we miss you Aleah Pop just said that he wishes he had you sitting on his knee this morning.

I haven't blogged for a while so I will just say hi to everyone and post some pictures later and maybe get around to some stories.

until then tata
