Being a Mom is TOUGH!!!


The second I saw the study for
"Am I Messing Up My Kids?"
I signed up.
I am constantly asking myself
that very question.
If I have to discipline my boys,
I will sometimes beat myself up
for days over
how I handled the situation.
While they have 
already forgiven and forgotten.
Sunday afternoon I began reading Chapter 2.
It was unbelievable timing!
That morning at Church, 
the sermon was also on Righteousness!
It is soooo easy to get wrapped up in
daily life and go to Him last,
when we are depleted
and out of options.
I admit, 
I am guilty.
I agree that I need to 
change my pattern
and go to Him FIRST
before acting on emotions
and feeling guilty for my actions.
Its so great to find this group of women
that have the same daily struggles
as me.
I also constantly worry 
that I am messing up my kids by
not spending enough quality time....
not feeding them the "right" foods...
not doing enough educational activities...
being too strict....
shall I go on and on?!?!?
I am looking forward
to being refreshed and renewed 
during this study
and to meeting other
beautiful mamas out there!
So glad we are in this together!

Summer Harvest 2014

Harvest began 6/21/14
Able to get 
in and out
of the combine
on his own!!
And drive too ;)
They were soooo
excited, they didn't eat dinner!


Yearly tire pics!



Our tradition...
take twizzlers!
And usually Oreos,
but we celebrated 
Bub's b-day
so we took cupcakes instead!

All he wanted to do for his B-day....
was this!
Take presents
to the field!
Overseers!

I did not 
arrange this!
Waitin' for Daddy!
(yes, we still have Zee-Zee everywhere we go!)

We got a few hours in
before the rain started.....
didn't complete harvest until
7/15/04!!

Fathers Day and Swimmin' Lessons!

We enjoyed a
nice lunch out after Church
then
our 
first ever
trip to the
Big "Cool Pool" in Hays.
They don't allow pics,
but just know
we had a great time!
This was Trents
second year 
for swim lessons.
He did amazing!
He picked it up soooo fast.
He is now diving under water,
 jumping in the deep end of the board
and
know multiple strokes.
His brother on the other hand.....

Maybe next year!!

it's always interesting
around here!

Jump through
the mud...

Over the crocks!



Down the water fall....


through the forest!

the maze....
don't let snakes 
or spiders
get you!
