My hubby is the best!

My hubby is the best! I just had to say that again. He knew how frazzled I was, and got right to putting things right. I can only imagine if he was home everyday, things would go so smooth around here. We dug 26 holes in our pasture Saturday. We are putting together a cherry tree orchard. I have complete faith that God will smile down on this new adventure, and bless us with an abundance of fruit in a couple of years. Eric did the figures and we could stand to make around 20 thousand a season, selling cherries! That's some major pocket change for us. And we figure that with 6 boys we will have all the help we might need for this adventure. Child labor is great! Wish us luck!

Doesn't it feel as though when the ball starts rolling its never gonna stop?

The last 15 hours have just been a blast! It all started when I found Whyett playing in my makeup. I have a lot of the powder eye shadows, and he had dumped them all over the place, oh about $50 worth!! Then I went down to the main canal to let the water through the ditch, to water the yard. Well someone had plugged it up with a big orange tarp. I went and asked my neighbor for help, we pulled it out and let the water through. Little did I know that while I was shopping with Kristy there was so much water that it flooded almost my entire acre putting my shed, and chicken coops under about 6 inches of water (now I see why there was a tarp plugging the entrance)!! Now I cant get the water to stop,and my beautiful garden that I have spent most of my summer on is drowning. :o( Not to even mention the smell the water mixing with the chicken coops is making. I shoveled mounds of dirt to try and protect my garden from the water till by body about gave out, but it was for nothing. And if that's not bad enough I had to run over our kitten (with the kids in the car, they took it better than I did), and get food poisoning at Sonic last night ugh. I really hate cleaning up throw up on my bed, in the middle of the night (from the kids, after surviving 6 morning sicknesses I can hold anything back) . Finally I just stayed up at 5am. On the bright side my hubby will be back tonight and he will make everything right.:0)

I thought summer was suppose to be relaxing

I feel as though this last week has been two. My kids, and I have managed to sell all but one puppy (she had 11, poor thing), I got to go to cub scout day camp with Aaron (way fun! I think I would have liked being a boy when I was a kid...), and passed the online course for my hunting license. phew!! I don't know how hunting will go, although I really like hiking around in the mountains. I recently took this personality test online somewhere,(I know, I know real dependable right) and it told me I was a tomboy (total shocker right). Anyway I don't think that covers gutting animals, or for that fact killing them either. Lets face it I cry when watching Old Yeller, Bambi, and when I caught my first fish. Eric tried to put it back to swim away, and I cried even harder when it just floated down stream???? I guess we shall see come October...brrr.

No relieving yourself on the children's heads!!

Can I just say that there are some pretty good perks to being a boy when it comes to going to the bathroom when there isn't one around. BUT. Teaching them the whens, and hows can definitely get interesting, as I learned recently. We were at the park after an hour and a half swimming session, and I guess Payton just couldn't pry himself away from the toys to go to the bathroom. I was at a picnic bench talking with my neighbor friend when I noticed some kids screaming, and running away from the toys. That's when I noticed Payton..yup..doing his business, standing right on top of the playground toys. Not only peeing on the bridge, and the steps, but any kid standing within reach. I ran over to him as fast as I could to stop him, and thus getting sprayed myself, I yanked his shorts up, and got him down from the toys. I really hope that was a one time thing. Although with Payton you just never know.
