The Sorta Family

We were thrilled to have the precious Sorta family

and there were many memories made while they've been here.

Here are some of them.......

Rosie (Rose) and Mary

("Special" friends)

Diligent Dustin

Making beautiful music.
(The "Tuba" on the other hand.......)
An adventure for Emily.

Hang on girl!!

"Alrighty, then, here we go."

Nothin like 4 wheelers:)

Of course it's not fun unless all four wheels are off of the ground.

(Ever wondered why momma has gray hair?)

How many girls does it take to paddle a

4 wheeler...???

Love you, Jada.

James and Leevy (Levi)

(Inseparable)

Bible study in the bright Florida sun.

This is for you Brocketts and Reynolds

We couldn't help our selves :) It just looked/taste to

good

Say what?!?

(I'm at a loss for words on this one.)

Boys being boys.

At least it's a soft landing.

Time for some "sweet n sour" (grapefruit).

Mmmm, good.

Homemade Reeses.

This looks like war.

I would say "yes", it's war.

When it rains, this is what you do:

1. Follow the water to the biggest mud puddle and jump in.

2. After getting real wet and filthy, head directly to the trampoline.

3. Get a " whole bottle" of dish detergent and squirt it on the trampoline.

4. Then when the "whole bottle" of dish detergent runs out, go and get the laundry detergent and pour it on the trampline.

5. Now, try to stand up, without using your hands.

6. And then try to walk without falling!!!

7. Last thing is to ask the moms to go to the store to get more soap!!

Gotta love it.

Two what???

Time for "Have you Ever"

Aggressiveness at it's finest.
Noooooo

Run!!!

Christiana, I think you're cheating.

They take this game very seriously!!
Time to can some fresh greens.

If Emily and Mary don't eat them all first.

The Lord has provided an adundance, once again.

Thank you, Lord.

Go Greens
Looks like it's time to go,

but we'll be back with part 2,

real soon.

(Ajee (Angelina) actually fell asleep like this.)

(That's what happens then you don't go to bed until 4 A.M. multiple nights in a row!)

See ya, soon.

Seek Ye First

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:

have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst,

Seek ye my face;

my heart said unto thee,

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

(Psalm 26:7-8)

The Three Pigs

Our new additions to the farm.

All girls.

(Simon, Alvin and Theodore)

It just fits.

These three little hogs were caught on the property

where we cut hay.

(They were about a week, or two old.)Rootin Around
" Awww, this is bliss."
At first they were fed with these droppers,
but only for a few days!!

What do hogs want? MORE

So bottles replace the droppers QUICKLY.

This is Theodore the runt,
who likes to bite!!!


We have scars to prove it!!

"Got milk?"
Nope, "Had milk" ;)

(Gabriel just getting in from work.)

"Hey, little sisters, what's new around the ole homestead today?

Well........(look in the hay). "Hide n Seek"

------------------------------------

(WARNING)

Do not continue if you have a weak stomach.

The Three Pigs

continued...........

It's pouring rain and cold,

the truck pulls in with (Three hogs).

Never mind about relaxing on a rainy day,

It's time for butchering.

Our Provision

(and next project.)

Skinning, gutting and cleaning goes on outside.

(Team 1: Dad and Christiana)

(Team 2: Liv and Ariana)

Love these handy butchering tools.

The grinding, and making of yummy sausage,

ribs and hams, go on inside.

Thank you, Lord for providing all of our needs :).

And having food and raiment

let us be therewith content.

I Tim. 6:8
