Science Fair Project begins.....

Tyler has been so excited about the science fair.  His brain storming has been so impressive.  He started with a melting jelly bean idea and it turned into how fast metal rusts.  He needed something measurable.  Dan stopped and got 5 different types of metals.  Now to write the hypothesis, purpose and materials list.  The fun begins!

Fall Fest

Girl Scout Fall Fest at Pretty Lake Campground in Mattawan.  Sam was in heaven...songs, crafts, games and a bonfire with hot cocoa.

Carving pumpkins

Our Deer are making friends

We have a momma deer and two twin yearlings that have been coming to the pond since we moved in.  It has been fun watching the little boys grow and lose their spots and now you can see their buttons trying to pop thru.  Last night while eating dinner we noticed that 2 more joined the fun.  Another mom with a little one.  We had 5 deer drinking out of the pond and playing at one time.  They don't even seem to care that I open the door and snap a few pictures.  It is awesome to watch!  Not going to be awesome to eat this year :(  Oh well!

Our girls

Crazy to think we have had these girls for over a month.  We love them so much.  Kate is getting so big so fast!  The lean to is finally finished and storing hay and grain.  Safi still has to get locked up when she eats because she is such a piggy. She wants to fight Kitty for the food.  Kitty is still letting Kate nurse but not very often.  Kate is still trying to learn how to bray.  Safi however, likes to talk to us when its time to eat!  Tyler gets out of the car after school and she starts yelling at him to hurry up!  Like I said...MS. PIGGY!

Bowling

Went out to dinner and bowling with friends.  It was a great sweetest day.  We went to dinner with a big group and then bowling.  Sam had fun....of course it was a "fun" game and Tyler can't quite handle the competition so he cried b/c he wasn't winning, b/c someone accidently bowled in his place, b/c he wasn't doing well.  Such a joy to play a game with him!!!!  Sam of course didn't care....she got 5 gutter balls in a row and was still smiling!

Paw Paw Football

My cheerleader and water boy!  It was almost as if dan and I were on a date.  Kids are getting so big!!!
