Computer Crash and we lost some Time and Pics...=(

This is at our new rental home.. We get so many types of birds and lots of them.. I love having land for so many reasons, wildlife being a big reason for me.

4TH OF JULY PARADE BAYPORT, MN WITH THE BYDLONS.. 

Nick doing his magic and making stars, decorations and all kinds of goodies for our day!!!!

"Tea Time"

I decorated with some "tea time".. It was meant for the older women to share wisdom and some of us to share our testimonies together.. Here are some pictures of me setting up.. It was so much fun doing a victorian tea...

 we made centerpieces with gloves, old pictures, pearls, letters with wax stamps, old gloves etc.. so elelgant.. these pictures do NOT give the decorations justice...

 Above is my grandmother's wedding dress to her second husband along with a picture of her and some other various things...



Sad, sad story....

This is where fox #1 was taken, the exact place of the cage and here is the sister/brother mourning their capture.. what happened was that fox #1 tried so hard to get out of the cage, he cut his nose pretty bad and so his sister/brother could pick up his scent..    very sad to watch....

She sat for over a half hour looking sad and even during the day......=(

Our buddy was caputured....

Our little friend the fox was taken captive by the Animal Police Dept... He was placed miles away, however their range is 50 miles and so he may be back.. who knows?

We finally made it to "our capital" St. Paul

St. Paul once called Pigs Eye is the capital of Minnesota.. We finally made it down to visit after 6 years.. sad ey....

A CLASSIC NICK EXAMPLE..  Look he has a long sleeve shirt on and it was a very hot day, and he is holding his short's leg up...why you may ask??? On the way there, Josh spilled his soda all over Nick's nice shirt or something like that and Nick was not happy... so we searched through the piles of crud in the van to find a dry shirt, so we find a long sleeve one.. Not happy to being wearing this shirt, we proceed on after long battles....THEN, as we are walking on the sidewalk Nick spies a nice retaining wall, Nick thinks it would be cool to jump up on the wall and walk above us, only to miss it and scrape the dickens out of his legs.. So this is the story of Nick, everyday and everywhere he is hurt.. We either have gone through the bandaids or exhausted the nurses at the ER....ahhhhhhh

Serving the Salvation Army Preschool..

Nick, Zack and Josh getting ready to set up a ball tossing game we made for the carnival we were putting on for the Salvation Army Preschool.. Lots of these children have very little.. This day there were dressed in their best outfit for pictures..

Friends from Faith (our homeschool Co-op).. Each of the children ran a station such as face painting, food, games.
