Corn Harvest 2012

 Amelia and Marie washing the silks off the corn.

 Grandma Pat got all of the kids animal hats and water bottles.





 Jett was telling a story with his piece of corn. I think it was something about the process of what we were doing, it was pretty cute and funny.
 Lunch!

 Friday we went to the fair for the last night of the fair. It was watermelon feed night, the kids loved it and were a sticky mess. We made one last trip through the barn to see the animals. If you ask Amelia now what animals she saw, elephants are included in her list. She knows she didn't see any at the fair, but she wants to make sure you know. She's a stinker.


 Garrett taking Amelia for a "ride."
 Saturday morning on the couch with their blankies and milks. They are both really into their milk, blankies and the Fresh Beat Band. Amelia has to have her white blanket with the flowers and her pink bear, Truman has 4 blankets in his crib right now, but he wants the fleecy blue one and the knitted green one to carry around.

Truman is saying more words all the time, at least I know what he's saying. Tonight I laid him in bed (with his 4 blankies) and he said night night mommy, bye bye. So sweet.

Amelia has been staying up in her room playing and reading books long after we put her to bed. It was a least 10 tonight when she was still up. She came out of her room 3 times to tell me her music was over and I needed to restart it. She had the light on and told me she was reading books.

A night at the fair, again

Tonight the kids and I went out to the fair to see the animals again and watch the atv rodeo. Amelia got to feed midnight the pig animal crackers and got to get in the pen with a couple of goats. Having been a "building kid" in 4h, I remember wishing we could have had livestock to enter. The barn kids seemed to have more fun. I realized I didn't get any pics of Truman at the fair, ill try to get some tomorrow.

Today I also went with the city administrator and mr. Fleener to wichita to see the memorial sculpture. It looks pretty awesome and will be moved out here next week.

A night away

Tomorrow I am having a laser treatment done on the veins on one of my legs. Trav and I came to wichita tonight to go out to eat and see the dark night rises. We are at abuelos, I had fish tacos, and the movie was awesome.

Saturday with the Cousins

Today Ashley came to Greensburg with her kids and Tanner, Jill, Wyatt and Lane were in the middle of their move to their new place southwest of Bucklin. Dad wanted to take all the kids over to pick some of the first grapes of the season. Needless to say, they all LOVED the grapes.



















 Tanner, Jill, Ashley and I went to their new house to put stuff away while mom and dad and Travis watched the kids, minus Lane and Saige who went with us. We spent several hours getting stuff put away and hopefully getting things more settled for Tanner and Jill. Tanner starts his new job tomorrow. When we got back to mom and dads, we had some delicious pizza again!
