Giving Thanks to God

We went down to Iowa for Thanksgiving. 

Here we are eating. 

This is our cute cousin, "Samo" 

Here he is driving the tractor. *just kidding*

This is our Grandma and Grandpa. 

Holding off the enemy. 

Even Mama shot! 

Here is Papa, loading the gun. 

Our cousin, River. 

This is Jeremiah firing at the "enemy" - actually the clay pigeons, as you can see. 

People took turns firing Grandpa's pistol. 

Here is Grandpa shooting his pistol. 

Elijah ready to shoot the clay pigeons. 

We fired until it got dark. 

Jonathan with ear plugs in, because the gun shots were really loud. 

As you may see, we won the war!  :) 

This is the next day. 

Here is a squirrel we saw up in the tree. 

Here are Teddy and Rosie, our cute doggies.

Our trip to Texas

Last month, we were in Texas and we stayed for a week.   Papa and one of his friends were selling syrup and we stayed at some friends' houses.  We played baseball, army guys, we helped with some chores on the farm, and because it was hot, we stayed inside some of the time. Here are some pictures from our trip to Texas.

This is when we were going to leave the Beach's house to go to the Heaney's. 

Elijah was taking pictures of us. 

Christian was tackling him. 

They are playing four square. 

This is the Beach family. 

Elijah was taking pictures of the army men. 

This kitty is taking a fun "ride". 

The Heaney's have chickens. 

Jeremiah liked the kitties.  

This is one of their dogs. 

Some people slept in the truck when we were driving.
