Mia

This is my newest niece Mia. She is adorable!! I had to get this on my blog cuz I was talking to one of my sisters who doesn't live close enough to run visit and mom just isn't getting enough time to sit down and blog...don't worry sis I am taking care of it for you!!
of course you have to get the obligatory picture of you holding the new baby...here it is!!

then with a couple of the cousins. Everybody needed their new baby time, but we had to fight Konner for it!! He would have held her the hold time if we would have let him!!

isn't she just adorable!!

crazy storm

So my parents had a little wind storm at their house Saturday night...you think it was windy where you were?? I don't think so!!! This barn was built in or around 1908...and today it is a thing of the past!!! My mom says that Amy was telling her some of the stuff we did in the barn... and my mom says that she had no idea that we did some of these things...like jumping from the loft down into piles of hay...that has definitely got to be my favorite! so the golf cart and tractor were so close...but were not hit by any of the flying debris...the garage was not so lucky...pieces of wood imbedded into the metal garage wall...broken lights inside the garage...

The end of an era...sad!!! also lots of limbs and branches broken all over the property...and a branch from this tree that was uprooted in the back of the house...broke a window over my parents kitchen table...mom was in the house at the time, heard the glass breaking, looked out the window from her bedroom and saw the tree going down...nobody was hurt at least nobody at their house was hurt...just a lot of fun cleanup in the days and weeks to come...

that is the darn branch that broke the window...

I was able to go up yesterday and see the damage...these pictures are from my mom's camera, we will see if I decide to add anymore pictures from the ones that I took...or if I will just let this do the job!!
