March 12 - Seed

Because Dad hauls crude oil, he gets to go into all the back roads. This is a huge help to our family not only because he gets a pay check, but he also sees things that our family can use. Broken hay bales and milo seed are some of those things. Today is Dad's "Saturday" so we all went to one of his sites to pick up Milo. We ended up with 240 gallons of seed to feed the chickens and use to grow Fodder for the horses. (I'll post you on the results of the fodder)

The seed.

What are some things that you do as a family on your "Saturdays"?

March 8 - Wedding of a Good Friend

Our dear friend, Jenifer, got married today to her prince charming...in cowboy boots. It was one of the best services I have ever seen. They both were so sincere and sober during the whole wedding. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't the best to take pictures so we didn't get any good ones.

Congratulations to a wonderful couple!!

March 3 - They get to Come Again

Josilina and Camilla came here again for the day, Kasandra isn't feeling well and can use all prayers. It was still cold outside so we brought in a few puppies so that the girls could play with them.

March 2 - Family and Friends Night

Four other families came over today so that some of the dads we know could get to know one another. Since today was such a rotten day (it was freezing) we brought the puppies inside so that the kidos could play with them. With all five families we had 17 kids and 10 adults. Lots of fun!!

Zane did not need any persuasion to play with the puppies. 

Molly fell madly in love with them.

As did her cousin Sadie.

Before supper the Adults played the game Dominion.

The expert at the game, Mrs Lacey, is explaining the fine points of the game.

Mr. Whitworth is doing a great job playing and taking care of Zane and Gabby.

Mr. Mike is teaching Janessa how to play

In a "quite" nerf war Zane ended up getting shot in the head and we all found out something new about him. He seemed to enjoy all the attention. 

And then supper, which was devoured as fast as they could.

What are things that you do to entertain good friends?  

March 1 - Josie and Cami get to see the Puppies for the First Time

Due to a doctor appointment for Kasandra, we kept Josilina and Camilla for the day. Regardless of the west Texas spring wind, we went outside to see the puppies. They loved them! 

Josilina held them from the first.

Camilla, on the other hand, took some persuasion to hold them. 

But she found the courage to take her turn telling her mamma all about the puppies. 

From that point on it took some persuasion to make her let go.

They sure have grown up a lot

Reacher occupied Camilla for awhile.

Though, like any other girl, she didn't take to the wet ball as much as Reacher was.

What are some things that you do when babysitting?
