the WEEKEND ...

saturday ...


first up was a day camp for the boyscout, noah :)

yep, brian is crazy busy farming so MOMMY was able to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow along with noah ;)

getting his arrow aimed just right

he did really well and yes i had fun too

next came rockets! the boys had to make the rocket themselves before launching it

it's ALL BUSINESS this rocket stuff ... look at that serious face

they both worked like a charm and flew super duper high
saturday afternoon we finished up the soccer season! it's always kinda sad when good things come to an end but also a nice little break!

sunday ...


JOURNEY! our church has recently started a high school youth group that i have been working with. we meet once a month and the turn out of area high school kids has been great! it's soooo nice to see them wanting to grow in their faith and have fun doing it. i enjoy it as much as they do!
we start off with prayers, fun games and activities, dinner & dessert, a talk with father and end with adoration at church. then off they go with a great start to their month! i love it!


A simple, grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer!

a night time FIELD trip .... literally ;)

being that brian works everyday, all day during harvest the kids and i try to take advantage of little trips out to the field when we can! tonight brian needed a ride from the field to pick up his car so the kiddos and i hopped in the tractor to ride with him for a few rounds :)

a beautiful fall evening
waiting for daddy so we could "hitch" a ride

and this little boy is ALL ABOUT THE TRACTORS

off we go

and yes .... my little family of five smooshes in the tractor together




noah & brian hard at work

julie was the look out girl ... she was looking for deer ;)



and me ... well, i kicked my feet up, enjoyed the ride and soaked in every ounce of family time i could get with the shermans 5
