August is going by so fast and we've been busy having fun! My wonderful coffee maker and not being so wonderful to us right now. We are back to brewing coffee in a pot and it's actually very good! When the Miele coffee maker is back to working, we will all be cheering! We use it every single day!
We went mini golfing as a family to Village Greens and it was so fun! We laughed and even Gunnar got to have a golf club!
Every year, we look forward to Thelmas pool day! The Dienner cousins gather and the kids swim!
I decided to make some pickle relish with all our cucumbers from the garden. Turned out pretty well!
Of course, I had a very good helper! These are our prize winners for this years crop!
Wyatt and Austin love to fish and they got an afternoon at Paradise Park to see what they could catch!
The dahlias are in bloom!
And the summer skies are gorgeous!!!!!
I'm still going to a work out class once a week. I still get very sore every time but yet I keep going!
Mom and Dad hosted their first yard sale in their life and it was a lot of work bringing everything down from their huge attic and into the barn and then price every item. It took time but we all helped them and it was a success!
The kids got physicals for school and all with a healthy report!
We grabbed breakfast at The Village Cafe and then went school shopping. All the things ... and now we are ready with our supplies! Give us a few more weeks of summer and then school begins.
A rainbow after a summer thunderstorm is always a gift from God!
We can't seem to have an employee picnic without a thunderstorm! We all gathered at Leola park again and ate a wonderful catered lunch and then had to cancel the food trucks for dinner because of storms. We appreciate all our employees and I hope they all enjoyed this day!
And our baby is growing up!!! Austin drove the big mower for us and mowed the back field! He did a good job!
The row of zinnias are blooming in the back of our property!
And the sunflowers are almost in bloom!
Ashlyn went to Olivias house and made a bunch of gluten free desserts for them to enjoy since they are both of a journey of better health! Ashlyn was gluten free, dairy free, grain free, egg free for six weeks to clear up some headaches, acne and just give her gut a rest! She did well with it but was VERY READY to start introducing some foods back! All these are gluten free and delicious!
The yard sale days were great! Tuesday was the busiest and mom sold a lot of things!
We went back again on Wednesday and it was a much smaller crowd and now everything left over is going to be given away.
Zane was such a good helper and was sure that chair was not going to stay on the tractor for Uncle Mose.
Another afternoon at the park creek. He loves this!
August is already half over and school will begin soon. We are trying to fill our days with the most of summer as we can! Hunter went with us to the pool one last time! The food is always so good at the club and I smiled when I noticed the blueberries and Cheerios for Gunnars snack!
We only have a few more days of summer so we will enjoy it while it last!
