Tracy and the boys and the Neerlandia Centennial Dressup

 Tracy with her 5 boys were out for a week and we had such a great time together - here they are picking weeds with Oma - it was weed city in the garden, we have been having so much rain, we can hardly get into the garden, but the weeds keep growing - rain or shine.  We have had such a great garden so far!  Seth had to stuff his weeds into a little carrier.  And it was sooooo hot as well, 31 degrees, almost unheard of for us.
 Isaiah figured he'd had enough!
 Sitting around the fire on Sunday evening, Paul came out for the 2 weekends.
 Isaiah trying on his wooden shoes - not too sure about them, kinda wierd.
 Little Jesse having a good laugh with Opa, something sure was funny!
 His very famous smile - isn't he gorgeous?  Such a friendly baby and hardly ever cried, even though he was teething!
 All set for the parade except for the wooden shoes, they put them on at the last minute.  They were all Ot en Siens and so very excited.  We had such a great 100 year Neerlandia celebration, sorry I didn't take many pictures, but you can check them out at the Neerlandia website:

We can be so very thankful to our Heavenly Father for being with our community and blessing us so much - it was so wonderful to have supper together with over 1000 people and to open in prayer and read the Scriptures.

Wonderful Aussie Visitors

 Well, well, well - look who is doing the dishes!!!!!!  Monika is washing and guess who is drying - you're right, Steve!!
We had wonderful company from Australia, Vaughn and Monika and Steve and a friend, (feel horrible, but I don't remember his name).  We had such a great time with Vaughn and Monika, thanks so much for chosing us to stay for a weekend, we pray that you do that again some day. 
 Never leave home without your laptop or I-pad, whichever it is, keep up with family and friends at home.
 What a beaut!!
 And her handsome hubby, thanks guys, we had a lovely time with you!
