Cute pics

Patty and Amy mowing!!! I think we have one of Patty with Stella on her shoulders a few years ago. :)

Where's Amy? Hiding in daddy's closet!!!!

Two budding pianists, they really were playing together. Look how intently Amy is placing her fingers.:)

And, last but not least Amy's new friend. She was a little unsure at first.

Kothmann Reunion

Cousins playing mother may I.

Visiting.

Lunch at Granny's after church on Sunday.

Good family visiting!!!

Justin, this is a family meeting, pay attention! I really don't know what Jen is saying, it looks intense.:):)



Roy visiting with his cousins.

Bodenhammer Reunion

We gathered at the Llano river even though it was really, really low.

Roy's mother has 3 sweet sisters and one brother. You see they found a shady spot to visit.

Joshua and his cousin Payne fished and caught little's that they threw back. They had fun.

The girls playing Farkle.

Playing in the rapids

Roy, the watchman

Going fishing, and Stella posing, imagine that!!

More little rapids

Amy and Papa chilling

Sunday morning before anyone hit the river we gathered for church, except for the fisherman that we had to call back:). It is such a blessing to have a family heritage seeking the Lord and His ways. We enjoyed a good discussion on walking as fans or followers of Christ.


One more cute Stella pic!!

House of Faith Swim party

We've been helping with House of Faith ministry in Ballinger for about 5 years and every summer we invite the kids to several swim parties. I took pictures for House of Faith so thought I would share on the blog. We had a really good turn out for our blessing to the families. We had a little over 100 in attendance. We invite the children's families and after we swim we have sandwiches and watermelon in the park. It was a fun evening.









Anyone else need a back rub?

Playing with Amy!!

A house full!!

Our friend Darcy and her 6 beautiful blessings stayed with us the week after Jenny and Justin's wedding. They had a graduation to attend the following Saturday. Everyone had a great time. Darcy's are 15 and down, so it was as if we had about 7 sets of twins in the house. Definitely a house full of blessings!! The kids played outside a lot. They worked on a tree house that Caleb(Darcy's) headed up. I wish we had a picture. I will have to go down and take one. They also made a home made slip and slide, and rode horses almost every day. Darcy, it was a fun having you and your children!!!!!!

Magan and Amy


One morning when the horses came up they found porcupine quills in our friends horse, Annie. Roy pulled them out, apparently about 30 or so.


Matthew and his friendly horned toad


Swimming at the La Quinta that the Kings stayed in the last day they were here

Matthew catching the football. Patty threw to the boys for a long time and our Mr. athletic Matthew went for it every time.


Three little girls down for a nap

Now that's a full living room at movie time

Home made slip and slide. I was so proud of them, didn't they do a good job.

New calf

The last few days we've been noticing Bessie showing signs of really getting close to calving and today we are sure the signs were accurate.

Isn't she cute!!!!! Joshua just said, "Are you sure its a she?" We'll not exactly, we ordered sex specific semen so we hope so.
OK, now for the name. The choices are; Sweet pea, Mocha, Carmel, Sweetie, and May. Place your vote now.
