Wheat!

Can't get enough wheat. My friend Willie planted five acres of wheat and it grew very well. As a result we have tons of wheat to bag up and sell. Here is what six tons of red wheat looks like.

Our kind of newer LG washer set!

We don't buy NEW washer/dryer sets. They are too expensive and as soon as you buy a set the value drops so much I don't find them worth it. We had a used Maytag Neptune set that worked wonderfully for three years. I bought that set for five hundred dollars. Thousands of loads of laundry for three years. A good value. Well the washer finally died and I scored this LG set for seven hundred and fifty bucks. The people I bought this from paid twenty four hundred for the set three years ago. LG washers kick all sorts of butt over the older Maytag set we had. All the boys are fighting to do laundry. All our clothes are clean again. Life is wonderful.

Flashback Friday

Jay calls me at work one day and says, "Do you want to see what your boys are doing right now?"

and THIS is what he sent me.... oh my heck. Thankfully, he had it all cleaned up and the kids were freshly bathed by the time I got home! What a super-stay-at-home-dad! These little guys have so much more fun with a dad to play with all day than they would with me!

13 years ago today...

...we met for the first time and went on our first date. As you can see, Jay won an "instant family" and I feel really blessed because he's taken such good care of me ever since. :)

Flashback Friday

Look how uncomfy my baby is with the water - he didn't want to fall in! Now he jumps from the treehouse "deck" to the pool below.... we've come so far!
