| Last Saturday we butchered a pig with the Maxson family... |
 |
| For once I stayed out to watch it being shot. |
 |
| Once the meat was divided, we brought it inside since it's too hot to do it outside. |
 |
| It was such a blessing to get all that meat! |
 |
| Justice was so faithful at the sausage grinder ALL day. |
 |
| He was quite worn out by the end of the day, but never complained. It is always a blessing to be able to work while fellowshipping with friends! |
 |
| Back in March we had the Siefka Family from MI staying at our house and re-modeling our kitchen! It was great fun, and we were so blessed having them here. One night we had the Limbeeks from Canada over, and we played soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and instruments. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and games! Another night we went to the Wilson's home together; that was a lot of fun. Also, one of our pigs was getting pretty big, and we needed to butcher him before it got too hot... So we did! Many hands made light work! Enjoy! |
 |
| Daddy's grilling is THE BEST! |

| The little girls loved catching and holding birds from Mama's flower garden! They were so cute sitting out there for hours, never tiring of it! |
 |
| One for each of them! |
 |
| Evan was able to help Mrs. Siefka quite a bit with computer work... He stayed very busy=) |

| Alayna, Joanna, and Justice turning it into sausage, which Glory, Farrah, and I packaged. |
 |
| Lily Ann and the little girls had several tea parties together... They had a lot of fun=) |
 |
| Destruction before construction! |
 |
| It is so nice not having so much wasted space in the cupboards now! |
 |
| Looking A LOT better! |
 |
| Stephen, William, and Justice built three picnic tables with scrap wood... They turned out really nice! |
 |
| My buddy much of the time=) |
 |
| Bompa & Mamaw and Sophia came over for a fish fry one day! That was a special treat for everyone! |
 |
| Mamaw set up her frying station outside on the porch... she had a large group of helpers/taste- testers to keep her company! |
 |
| Thank you Mamaw for all your hard work! That was certainly a tasty meal=)! |
 |
| Sitting at two of the picnic tables the boys made, while enjoying fish, hush-puppies, cole slaw, french fries, and salad! |
 |
| The rest of the clan (mostly). |
 |
 |
| Getting ready to go to the Wilsons! |
 |
| The guys played basketball, while the girls and little people played dodge-ball. |
 |
