Corn Update #3

Just waiting for it to dry down so they can come in with the combine. So tall!

My First FOOD!

Maesyn trying out some Rice Cereal for the first time.  Not quite sure at first, but she has soon decided she likes "real" food quite alot!

Here's a pic of Maesyn from a few months back.  It's hard work having tummy time! 

Corn update #2 (belated)

oops! This was supposed to be posted sometime in August.  I was hoping to get a picture of Riley and the corn once a month, but it looks like I missed September and I better get one quick because it's just about ready to harvest! LEANNA--the rows you planted are looking the best by the way :)
I'd say it's a good things kids don't grow as fast as corn, but considering Maesyn is going to be 8 months next week I beg to differ...Where has the time gone???

Whaaaat?!?

Apparently my house is not the only thing I have been neglecting!  I can't believe I haven't posted A THING since July!  Poor Maesyn...I had posts of her sister almost every week....Well, here's to getting a few more out there so her blog posts won't look so sad when stacked up against her sisters...You feeling me Leanna?  Angela, you and Riley can brag about your stacks of first born pics later :)

Looks like the dust bunnies will just have to camp out for another week...or two...I have pictures to download and sort through.

So, to my family and friends who read this, I will be better!  Thank you for your patience and soon, very very soon I will begin work to bring you up to speed on our adventures we call daily life :) 

Love you all of you,

Em :)

Sisterly Love :)

Happy Fourth of July!!!

 

 

FIREWORKS! FAMILY! FOOD!  The three ingredients to one very Happy Fourth of July :) On the actual 4th we went to Brighton had dinner and then sat up on the hill to watch the fireworks below.  Personal fireworks were banned throughout the whole state due to all the fires.  Few municipalities were allowed to have fireworks shows and  Brighton was one of them.  It was pretty quiet up where we were, which worked out great for us, we could see the fireworks and we didn't have to fight the crowds!
That following Sunday we had our Gibson Family Gathering.  What a hoot! Grandma Pam had the stereo going and Riley had us all dancing the night away!  Cousin Jenny brought some cool glow lights to keep the party going even after dark!
The food was awesome.  Grandma Pam and Papa Russ brought some Famous Dave's BBQ for the occasion...YUMMY!!!  Not to mention easy clean up because I don't think there were many left overs!
BRAG ALERT!Grandma Pam gave me free reign to bring what I thought was fun :)  So I made a flag cake, the top is mine and the bottom is the Betty Crocker recipe picture...not to shabby!  I even got kudo's from Uncle Matt!  (that's a big deal) then I made fourth of July drinks--notice the red white and blue layers (hint: science project!)  and then some festive strawberries.  I had such a great time making them!  And Riley, I need to add, helped some too.  I can officially say I have actually DONE something I have seen on Pinterest!
All in all, we had a great time celebrating this country we love so much.
