Stacking straw, dirtbikes, growing garden, and baby Kyle

 Hello Everyone!!

  The past few days Jaylon has kept busy hauling straw bales from the field over to the farm on the semi, and then stacking them in the sheds.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This past Saturday Jaylon and his brother Justin, drove to Phoenix in Justin's little red truck to buy dirt bikes

They had a blast on their first ride together :)


---------------------------------------------------------------------

My bean plants have really been growing like crazy since the picture from the last blog post
                                           It looks like we're going to have alot of yummy beans

                       My red beets are probably going to be ready to be pulled and canned later this week


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week Jaylon killed this nasty snake, that was in our driveway, with his pistol.  Its a Mohave rattlesnake, they're greener and more poisonous than a diamondback.  I'm glad its dead!

            -----------------------------------------------------------------------------                  

                See the dust storm heading for our house?  Last week we got a dust storm in front of a thunderstorm.


                                                              Jaylon mowing the back yard :)




The corn is getting really tall and most all the fields have tasseled

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Last week Jaylon took me on a date to a little Mexican restaurant.  The food was soo yummy!  I thought it was really neat how they made little holders for the taco, out of a piece of tortilla!  :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle is growing up so fast!  And hes getting So chubby!  But the chubbier he gets, the cuter he gets :)
 Kyle turned 8 weeks old on Sunday.


                                                             Here's my two handsome boys ;)




                                                                         
                                                                 My little family :)


Well hope you enjoyed this post of random pictures :)

Enjoying Summertime

  Hello Everyone!!
  We have really been enjoying summertime these past few weeks!  Mainly because Monsoon season has finally started!!!
      Its so awesome to have cloudy days, thunderstorms, and the wonderful rain!  :)  We thank the Lord for all of the greatly needed rain we've gotten so far!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other week Jaylon was busy hauling oat seed to the grain bins with the semi.  They baled all of the oats for grass hay except for one field.  They let that field dry up and then combined it for the oat seed, so they would have oat seed to plant for next year.  




     Can you spot someone peeking out of the oats??
Two mule deer were hiding in the field  :)

              After they were done combining, Jaylon baled all the oat straw

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                       
                                                  Uh oh, one of the pivots had a slight leak lol
                     Jaylon and his boss had to drive to the center of the pivot, on the six wheeler, to fix it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaylon took these pictures of a whirlwind about a month ago.  Before rainy season, when it was really dry and dusty, we would get whirlwinds everyday.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                   

                                            My garden has been doing pretty good.  Here is some of red beets that are about ready to harvest

                                                                                           Cilantro
                                                                            Green beans


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle is growing up so fast.  He's already 5 weeks old and getting chubbier everyday, he already weighs 11 lbs 12 oz!!  We love him soo much and are enjoying seeing him grow and change everyday :)

His many different sleeping positions are so cute :)


This picture is terribly fuzzy, but I just had to add it becuase he looks so cute :)  He loves to sleep with his hand under his chubby cheeks :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well hope you all enjoyed this post about random things from the past few weeks :)
Have a wonderful day!!
