Fun on the Farm

Summer fun

Papa giving Addyson and Noah tractor rides!

It's hard to keep clean . . .

. . . and dressed on the 5 acres!

Papa has two new "laborers" (Steve and Sara)

Addyson holding the Weibell's dog Louie.

Between all the hard work we still find time to play.

Campfire/s'mores. Matt and his boys Chase and Collin.

Melinda and Gwen roasting marshmallows.

Papa and DJ's youngest - Dylan - at Uncle Joe's Dairy.

The little ones did not like the smell! If you look close they're plugging their noses.

Jaxon & Jonah (David's kids), Dylan (DJ's son), Gwen, Chase & Collin (Matt's kids), Addyson (Sara's daughter).

Jake (DJ's son) watching Ma clean the 'poop' off her shoes!!!

When Milo was 2 weeks old Heidi didn't like that her dad hadn't seen him.

So she surprised us and showed up with all 6 boys!

P.S. Addyson thinks she is one of the boys!

Bye for now!

Julie Dodd and the Rodgers Kids

It was so wonderful to be able to visit some very dear friends while in Texas this past weekend. This is Julie Dodd and 2 of her kids, and they are very dear to our hearts. What a wonderful reunion after so many years.

Although the miles and years have separated us - as you can see by the smiles - love has not.

It felt so good to be there with them. It was truly a family reunion. We were inseparable when our kids were the ages of their kids now (how the time does fly by).

Mark Rodgers, Anna and Mark's son, Jett.

Melissa and her boys!

Friendship is eternal - for this we are grateful.

Julie looks just the same - - - but I have gray hair . . .
