Passing the time away on the farm (month long vacation in OR)

Visiting mom and dad on the farm in Oregon. There is just too much fun happening here: the kids are having a blast playing, getting FILTHY, being independent, having fun with cousins, being spoiled from grandma, etc! So here is a photo essay, which is better than words.

for those of my friends who are not farmers, here is a pic of the pivot that runs right behind the house.

Livy's ULTIMATE favorite thing to do at grandma's: SWING. She asks all the time to go swing. Now her favorite is to swing with me so we can go higher. All the kids love underdogs!

making designs with beads, then melting them with the iron (not sure what they are called)

that furniture you made was awesome! I should have thought to commission you to help me make a new bed for Zac and myself! I pretty much want the one off knock off wood that is the same as hers. So dang cute! I-however-amd not talented or knowledgeable in the wood building department, so it may never happen! (: Glad you are having such a fun trip-your kids are adorable! I bet you miss Tommy!
