Snow Storm 2013

We had a nice big snow event in December, about 8 inches in all.  This kids missed a few days of school and had lots of fun playing.  At one point, the flakes were so big, they were about half the size of a playing card, no joke.  I have never seen flakes this big.  And the most wonderful thing about it is my kids are big enough they can go out without me now.  So I can enjoy these beautiful snowy days from the comfort of my couch knowing I don't have to go out expect to throw some wood in the stove.

Harvest 2013

Dad had a good harvest this year. He sold his combine and used my grandpa's 1 row picker to harvest. It picks it on the ear and dad stores it in the corn crib. He only kept some of it and sold the rest to a neighbor who raises buffalo.

The picker dumps it in a gravity wagon. We raise the gravity wagon to dump the ears in the elevator that shoots it into the corn crib.

Speech Finals

Millie placed in the finals for her school's speech contest. She did great!  She is so shy so I was super proud of her for getting up there and reading her story she wrote.

Football 2013

Reed played football at the YMCA in October. It wasn't the best league but it's all we could find. He loved it though so that's all that matters.

October University of Evansville Visit

I am way behind on blogging. Back in October we made a trip to Evansville for a party and Millie wanted to see her college. She is set on going to UE so we showed her around. It's never too early for college visits...right?

Love

They may fight more than I'd like but it's moments like this that remind me how much they love each other. He is sound asleep and fell asleep on her just like he does on me while I read.
