No Matter What

Tis the season of fall barn parties....this one involved the Fox family Annie made a cute cowgirl Uncle Joel Andrew and Kathy provided eggs from their over abundance for an egg toss. Yeah...it crushed in my hands of course!  Some of the wildlife She's so photogenic. I am going to miss her a lot! this little nephew...he's a goofy one! the changing colors Jaron many cousins I haven't seen in a very long time! My dear Grandmother that holds quite the legacy...after all...did you have 18 kids? Told that whoever catches the guinea chicken in the rafters would receive $20 some of the guys went to work. Durell managed to get it accomplished. He appears to be living the prodigal life with the pigs? Ellie dear Singing with instruments. Pretty sure the only way it makes the Fox singing sound presentable She had quite the moves going on  Was good to have my sister there since my other half wa

She likes to try and figure these things out...Once again she got one pulled over her, which in turn makes it so much more fun! I'm ready for December...for numerous reasons :)  ...the lonely apple upon the tree ..the soon to be hamburgers! Yes it is true..the leaves are falling as fast as they are changing colors ..but then I thought maybe spring was here. (my mother informed me this is saffron and it blooms in the fall) #I'mnotagardener My lovely friend Rhonda joined Ruthie and I for a birthday celebration. It used to be something I always did. Pretty sure last year it got skipped. We had a great time. Yes it is fall...the decor says it all! I spent my day cutting fabric and packing that big blue thing in the background. Well that thing consumed me the most. Can you stretch plastic...like make it a little bigger? sigh. I cannot wait till I am on that plane and all this is behind me!  "Our prayers may be awkward.

Did I mention I am sorting through lots of things? I get in these "get rid of everything" moods and it clears out lots of "stuff." There is lots more still.  Don't tell me you don't still have that cool mailbox from Kindergarten or the awesome pencils with your name engraved? Uhuh....Treasures they are! lol.  How bout those key chains that solved all those teenage year drama problems? I believe it's time to move on! Or what about those key chains from your favorite place on the map? Where did they come from anyway. From the looks of things they are quite ancient! Possibly brother's senior trips? I need to remember to buy some for my nieces and nephews so 20 yrs from now...they can reminisce.   It was a wet, pouring rain sort of drive to my sister's house. Did I ever tell you how much I hate driving in the rain? Well I really hate it but so does my mother which designated me the driver for the journey. We had a good day making s

The parents made a weekend escape. I don't blame them...I'd do it too on occasion and it leaves for good practice for the aunt. It started out with only the above little Miss Ellie. We played lots of horse. I was yawning most of the time. lol Hearing them before seeing them...the rest were home from school a few hours later. As you can see these horses are a hit. Somewhere in my childhood I missed that stage I believe. Nick was climbing the tree. Caleb this picture is for you! Isaac wanted one for Micah as well!  They're all pretty old so I thought I would reason them into sleeping in on Saturday. Sigh...6 a.m. came early. I learned it is possible to sleep under the covers...that is until the door is banged on with "I'm hungry." Yeah...I have a lot to learn. The game of the weekend bright and early Saturday. Breakfast was no sooner over and I heard "I'm bored." This my dear little ones is why you sleep in when y
