New appliance in the family!

We have a new dryer!

This lovely machine dries in HALF the time of our old clunker!
It is a perfect match to our washer that was purchased by us earlier this year.

Best of all, this machine didn't cost us one cent! It was a love gift!!

The gift also included a three year extended warranty on not only the dryer, but also on our previously purchased washer!!

Now, I'm not wanting to spill the beans on who the generous givers are, but....

We appreciate your loving generosity! You know who you are!!

We love you two!!!

These three love swimming lessons!

Samuel has a great attitude and is doing great refreshing his swimming skills learned last summer.

Rebecca is loving diving in and swimming like a fish now that she can use her own goggles.

Bethany loves to swim. She always did like diving around in the bathtub when just a tiny girl.

The reluctant swimming student...

"Mom!"

Attitude improvement begins...

Squirting the teacher brings first smile...

Now, he's finally having fun!!!

Equine Turn Signals

Left turn.

Right turn.
Now, straight ahead!

Jessica was riding Glory, playing the role of photographer.

Glory's ears were quite animated!

Riding the roads

Yes, Amber even talks to ...him on the phone while riding horses!

Rebecca loves riding Diaz!

Isaac loves books!

Amber and the Little Boys

Amber took the little boys on a walk down to Papa's pasture and back. I thought it might be a good opportunity to take some candid shots of them, such a beautiful day! If you follow my blog you've already seen these, but I decided that it's been too long since I posted on our family blog. :-) I'll try to do more, since I'm on here more often that Mom or Amber and I take so many pictures. It's kind of funny, putting duplicate pix on both blogs... lol. ~Jess~

Amber and ...him

Amber says this picture shows a great example of Anthony's personality.

Does it appear...

...that our children get good use out of our Rainbow Playset?

Many hours each week are spent swinging, climbing, sliding, and more!

Previous Baking Day Bounty of Cinnamon Rolls!

We gave these out as gifts. Jessica is very good at making these!

Baking Day back in March 2009

We try to make Saturday afternoons our official Baking Day and these two little eaters especially look forward to it!
