We are here, we are here, we are here! (Think Horton Hears a Whoo!)

Yep, still alive, kickin', and feelin' a little crazed! We did finally move to Aberdeen this fall (exactly one day before school started for the boys, so it was a little crazy!) It's kind of a long story, but we had to move the lady out in order to get into our home! By the way . . . it's HUGE!! Seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living rooms, two offices, and three storage rooms, kinda hard to keep it all clean! I'm still waiting for the maid to show up! We also have the problem of not having enough furniture! Bean bags and love sacks are in the process of being made as we speak for the "game room", but sometimes I laugh at what all the rooms don't have!


Harvest has also officially started last week, and it's just as crazy as the rest of my life! It's dirty-no hanging clothes on the line for a month or two, and absolutely NO opening windows for the fall breeze to blow in. I have enough dusting to do without windows being open! I am truely greatful to see first hand how they harvest potatos, wheat, and sugar beets, and the work that goes into our food. It's humbling to watch everyone hard at work-kids, neighbors, mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc. I've only put in about 8 hours! Brooklynn and Weston have stayed in the truck and watched movies on the dvd player because they are too young. Maybe in a couple of years they can at least pick rocks and dirt clods! I'm so greatful for the safetly (for the most part) of the workers. With so many trucks coming and going, several tractors in one field, about a dozen workers on the ground, and several other machines moving the potatos around, we've had our scares and mis-haps for the year- hopefully.

Carson just got done with football for the year. He was the star running back this year. He scored more touch downs than anyone else, but that's just against Aberdeen kids! He could easily out run them, so it wasn't too hard for him.

Colton just had his seventh bithday. I'm so mad at myself. I didn't download the pictures off my camera at my mom's so I couldn't take any pics. I did get one in place of another picture, but it's kinda crazy, so I'll try to get a better one! It's crazy to think he's in first grade!!

Hopefully sometime in the near future I will get internet out in Aberdeen so I can post pics and more posts, but for now, have a great fall!
