On the Farm (LOTS of pictures!)

Sittin pretty on a bale
Getting ready to go with Daddy
So proud of herself!
Is it time for bed yet mom?



Someone's been watching Daddy - she even has one hand on the shifter!!

Goofy smiles! This is what she does when I ask her to smile on command




Of course the semi ride wouldn't be complete without using the two way radio!

Watching the truck get loaded


We've been spending a lot of time out at the Siemens family farm because Scott has been out helping with the bales and such. Kalia loves her Semi rides and watching the tractors, as well as being let loose on the field. It always makes for good family time while driving too because there are no other distractions to worry about, and Kalia actually lets us hold her for extented periods of time. Usually she is so busy running around that she doesn't want to sit still on anybody's lap. She has even fallen asleep in the semi this year. I had an urge to do a photo shoot the last time we were out, inspired by the golden fields and the clear sunny sky. This time of year is so beautiful on the praries. Makes you think God knew what he was doing, huh?

Fun in the Sun!

These are just a few of the MANY pictures we've taken at the lake this summer. Kalia has had such a blast there exploring and swimming up a storm, and she loves boat rides too. I am so thankful for such a fun summer vacation spot.

Happy Birthday Isabelle

We were invited to a fun little birthday party for Kalia's friend Isabelle on Monday afternoon! It was a very fun day and the girls had lots of fun playing together with hardly any crying! Andrea put on a beautiful party for her precious little girl! All of the girls were dressed up in their fanciest party dresses, which made for fun pictures.
The two future pianists!
Kalia nicely gave Isabelle her gift (I was so proud!)

And, of course, helped her open it!



All four girls playing with balloons! (Kalia, Annika, Isabelle, and Kaysia)

Hee Hee - look at Annika trying to terrorize Kalia!
