Losing Track of Time

this picture above, my friends, is why i have completely lost track of time from july 5th until the present!  seed cutting!!!  ben snapped this picture in the clover.  he has also cut peas, radishes, and weedy wheat with the draper header.  it is usually during the middle of the nite.  then he cuts hay all day and gets home after the kids are in bed, resulting in me losing track of time and possibly my mind :).  we even missed free cnr dinner and rodeo tickets in the name of sleep for seed! one nite he left at 1:30.  ellee is getting her 3rd top tooth, so she woke up about 4.  i was so delirious that i knew he had probably shut our bedroom door, but i crashed right into it.  i hit my head.  turned one toe black and scraped all the paint off a couple more toes.  i was awake!  i wanted to remember a few things that i did snap pictures of before i forget.  the boys start school tomorrow.  summer is over!:(/:) we school shopped this past week.  a few awesome friends traded off with some of the kids, so we could go get everything and i even took the boys to red robin for lunch after we got their school supplies...

bentley and i cleaned out the coop and bought 10 more hens that were all ready laying from a family in our ward.

upside down...bentley took these notes during a church meeting.  he does listen!

occasionally i exercise.   the girls love stroller rides!

the pirate!

emerson is obsessed with this "squirt"!  she will only wear skirts now and about 4 shirts which she rotates and tries to hide from me, so that i don't put them in the wash...

ellee's first ride on anything!  it was the gleaner.  the boys were gone, so she finally got a turn!!

this is a funny picture!  bentley was in the dunk tank and bridon was trying to get him in the water at the stake activity

end of the vacation with grandma moncur

emerson wiped 1st aid cream all over her and ellee while i was making breakfast

i actually rode a round this day!

gladiolas are blooming.  lot's of overgrowth and weeds otherwise...

combining the triticale with the gleaner and john deere!

riser blew off.  it happened twice, flooded the driveway and freaked emerson out while i was trying to get it shut off...

buzz asked me 'what is this?' valid question.  he also told me today his neck was feeling dry when we were jumping on the trampoline.  i think that actually meant, he was out of breath.
