Setting up the Swimming Pool

Monday, June 16, 2014

Yesterday afternoon we set up the pool and started filling it. Today it’s gotten deep enough to swim.

Poor Marian, she’s just too kissable!

He even made himself a laurel for his head!

 

Fun With Marian

Some random cute poses that I snapped during the Goodwin’s recent visit.

Baby Jack Rabbit

This afternoon Nathan was plowing and caught this little rabbit. Aspen and Carolina had fits over it, of course.

Homecoming Dance

Saturday, June 14, 2014

We had a great turn out on Saturday at the Turkey Gym. We loved seeing so many of our friends, old and new, having fun together. It was a little hot, but that didn’t stop the dancers.

Bath Time

Thursday, June 12, 2014

We squeezed Marian into the bathroom sink for an impromptu bath. She didn’t care that it was a bit crowded, she loves water so.

At the Creek with Marian

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

 

The day after they arrived, Atlanta, Jordan and Marian went down to the creek with us to help watergap. (This is what you call checking the fences that cross the creeks and rivers. Very often after a rain, the fences wash out and have to be put back up so cattle won’t get onto someone else’s ranch.) When we go watergapping, the guys have to work, but we get to play! The creek is the perfect place for kids. Water, sand, fish, critters, rocks, shells, etc. Here’s a little video of Marian having a great time in the water.

 

80th Birthday Party

Friday, June 13, 2014

We had a surprise birthday party for mom (Granny, as we all call her) on Friday night. She thought it was just a get together for Atlanta and Jordan, and was surprised to find out everyone had actually gathered in her honor. Her actual birthday is Monday the 16th. She shares her birthday with Laredo who will be 20. She turned 60 the day he was born.

Wonder Baby

Carolina made this poster for Atlanta and Jordan and taped it on the wall. Isn’t it hilarious?

Front Yard Decorations

Monday, June 9, 2014

We’ve been doing a little cleaning outside getting ready for Atlanta and Jordan’s upcoming visit.

Stockton and Carolina have welcome signs out front. They plan on jumping out from under the blue tubs when the Goodwins arrive.

The other pictures are from various plantings in the front yard and side garden.
