Back to School

NO ,no and no.
I am not ready for school yet . Or the regular pace of routine of life.UGH ! At the thought actually. But I love FREE and I love to share . So here's a great back to school printable . I look forward to attaching it to  the snack sack with one of those adoreable labels by Papercoterie attached to it. Hope you  get yourself some too .

Harvest means...

to me

Long days and even longer nights

bagged lunch & supper in the field

family

dirty sweaty faces

farm pants and ball caps

working together

water lots and lots of H2O is consumed 

Machinery 

weather updates daily ... even hourly . 

summer coming to a end 

but fall beginning

tired

ups 

   and 

     downs

Happy Birthday Hubby !

To my best friend , my companion , to my lover , to the father of our children ,the dreamer , to everything you are to me and more. I know I do not give you all the credit you definitely deserve and I could praise you more for all the many little and big things you do for each of us.
I would like to embrace the quiet moments we have together and hold on tight for the wild , loud and crazy ones too . I want to dream big beside you . Discover the world together . I want to breath deep with you . I need to have you in our life for every day forward .I need the love you give me to keep me standing . I hope the walks we have last forever . I hope the sun shines through in the morning and moon peeks through at us ever evening in this home we created together . I love you for welcoming the "junk " I bring home covered in dust .I trust you are always thinking of what is best . I care that you work hard . I love the great pride you take in holding the girls hands to do a BIG job with you. I love that you believe in me , respect what I do and don't do and remember I am only a whisper away at the most . I love that you listen deeply . I believe that our BIG small and tiny kiss will  last forever .

I look at you with great pride , focus and comfort to know you stand beside me each day and together we will get our biggest wishes , dreams, hopes,and even though each step is never easy we will do it together and never give up on each other . I know we have big steps ahead in this story of ours and I look forward to do it all with you.I think we are the lucky ones. So here's to another year forward to spending it with you. happy birthday to you .........

My Farm Girl

You have been quite the farm girl these days. 

You get up before you even eat you get a t-shirt on and pull on your farm pants .

Just for the chance of not being ready when dad is ready to hit the combine . 

So these pants of been on you each and everyday .  

You have put in on a average of 8-14 hour days with your dad. 

(papa usually radios you before he leaves to see if you want to get a ride home and you radio back No .)

You take 1-2 books 

your lunch and water 

I quite often don't see you until morning as you are home by the time I have went to bed. 

You love the fact that dad and you have to have a shower when you get in .

You think thats so cool to have a shower so late. 

Your dad says you are the best lil partner to have in the combine . 

You sit contently

 telling stories, 

reading stories, 

singing , 

or 

just looking out the window . 

Your sister usually is with you during a few day light hours

 but you are in for the long haul . 

I am so grateful for this time I have to get this house back in order with one tiny tot home and usually napping .

I too can work like a work horse . 

Family

We had a family reunion a few weekends ago ....
It was so well organized and entertaining for all attending . these were a few of my favorite things .

 YES if you never heard of it before. Our family probably made it up . CHICKEN RACES.and indeed DMAN caught one.

 I can hardly believe my eyes not only did my girl get a tattoo ,but also got her face painted that is unheard of Izzy .

 Addy actually picked pink thats kinda Izzys color .

 Our lil man chilling in the shade with yet another hat.

 The boys chilling after Dman got his face painted .Yes G was not into the face paint .

 Jumping in the bouncy castles . I am usually not a fan of these for this reason its yelling screamimg kids jumping around in a germ castle . LOL .

 Auntie got in some time to play with these cuties @ the park . We may or not of got grandma Rosie in the spinning tires there too . But no picture to prove it either way .

This family reunion rocked ! The entertainment was great and food was awesome . A great weekend in my books

How does it go ...

There is a saying that goes like this 

do not judge a book by its cover 

But I believe you can tell a few things by the books a person reads. 

these were a few purchases for me . 

t

well actually the hubby is receiving the top three selections for a part of his bday present. 

SHHHHH!!!!

                                                  I have got a few library books on the go as well.
                                                             I really like variety  when I read.

                                                            what are you reading this summer ?

AUGUST

August already . July has came and gone. just so quickly as every summer it happens . WE anticipated to slow the next one down just by alittle to capture and hold on to each moment. just a little while longer then we look up and we are to flip the page on the calendar yet again .
We have done alot of stuff this passed month and I fully intend to slow down just a lit bit this next month . WE have big surprises and fun things yet to happen . Hubby and I are taking in a few of his work trips in this month . One just to Winnipeg and then to Quebec City . We have  another week of swimming lessons happening . Two birthdays to celebrate in this household.(so that means I need to get my party hat on and get planning) I have a some dear friends and sisters birthday too this month as well so hopefully that may mean some supper nights out with the girls. Harvest has official started here .So many meals to the field and combine rides to be had by all . Maybe this month will not be so slow moving as per dreaming of.
BUT I am going to try my best at trying.

                                       (these are very good reasons to slow down )
