Family Pictures

Well we had a great time with Heidi Anderson the other night. We went out to Cox's Pond and she took our family pictures! She did a great job! She gave us a sneak preview of our pictures and we will get to see the rest next week! She did a great job and we can't wait to see the rest! THANKS HEIDI!!! We had fun and there was no wet boys inspite of the close encounters that we did have.

Check them out at http://www.heidiandersonphotography.blogspot.com/ and if you are in the area and need any pictures taken make sure you give Heidi a call! She does a great job!

Grandma and FiFi Fluff

Okay so the countdown is on for Grandma and FiFi Fluff to come and visit. The excitement is building and it will be good to spend time with family! Look for pictures after their visit. I personally hope to do alot of relaxing while they are here!

Sunday Fun

So Sunday we went to the park for some fun with our church family. We began the day with some softball fun which then turned into a great game of kickball. We wrapped it all up with a great bbq and fellowship time! We had a great time! Enjoy the pictures of the kids!

Dog Issue

Okay, so we have been praying everyday about the dogs and what we should do. We have been letting the chickens out for about half a day and so far no more dead chickens. We are not sure but we are praying and asking God to work the whole situation out as He wills. So thanks for the prayers and keep praying that if we are suppossed to keep the dogs that they will continue to leave the chickens alone and if we are suppossed to get rid of them that we can find a good home for them! Thank you!!!

Chapokli

This is Bubba's creation he named it a Chapokli. A Chapokli is a blood sucking creature. He can suck up to 10 gallons per second. He is 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. He runs at a speed of 10mph!

CheeMonkey

So in school a few weeks ago we were talking about how Adam had the job of naming all the animals and so the boys had to come up with their own creation and write some facts about their creation. Austyn created a CheeMonkey. A CheeMonkey can run 90mph. He can weigh up to 100lbs. He can grow to be 5ft long and up to 3ft tall. He can climb trees really fast and he can eat a chapokli in less than 2 seconds flat. Interesting.....

Mystery Solved

So the sweet innocent puppies that have been so much fun have now turned into chicken killers. We are SOOOOO bummed! They have hurt and or killed 5 chickens in the last week. We were justifying that it was something else but this week we caught them red handed 3 times!!! So they are going to have to find a new home! We are looking to place them in a new home ASAP! They are great dogs just not good with chickens! Also, please pray that we find a good FARM FRIENDLY dog soon. We really need a good dog around here but it is so hard when you have to let them go. The next dog or dogs needs to be the right one for us. One that loves kids, stays on our property, protects the others animals (not kill and eat them), and good natured! So yeah this is hard but we can't have dogs eating our other animals!

Mr. Nature

So Wed. night at church Bubba finds a grasshopper and he carries it around in his pocket all during church. The grasshopper just stayed there all night. Bubba gets him out of his glass jar and he just sits on his hat or stays by his pocket and hangs out with him. It is too funny! The grasshopper must feel Bubba's love. Bubba just loves animals.

WII FUN!!!

Forever Friends

We had the best time with family and friends this weekend! It was a fast trip but it was wonderful! It was very hard to leave and say see you later but we know that because our common bond is in Jesus Christ that we will spend eternity together! For now we will partner together in each other's ministry through prayers and encouraging and spuring each other on! Now this is a true friend! LOL!!! What a clan!!!
Austyn telling us bye. He didn't have a problem if we left he just wanted to stay there! Thank you Buffington's for the wonderful weekend of fun and memories! Thank you Jesus for givng us the gift of friends and family!

Friday morning we woke up and ate an early breakfast and then did some needed shopping in Kearney. I got to go to TARGET!!! It has been forever! Matt got to go to Best Buy and Circuit City! It was a good time and then we headed out for Missouri! EVERYONE was so ANXIOUS to get there. I kept hearing comments from the boys such as, "We thought we were going to visit Buffington's not go shopping....."
