Trying to get the speaker thing working after some of the little boys played with it that morning. We never did get it working.

Food time!!!

Trevor sat right at the end of the food line (in the way :)) and watched everyone get their food

Misc

Moving the beef


Unrolling a bale. Some people think it's funny to unroll bales like this. Many people put them in feeders, which we do sometimes when we have one. If we don't have a feeder, Paul says the cows waste much less hay by unrolling it so they can eat it without trampling so much.

Reading some history book

We found a bell on Craigslist the other day.
First you dig a hole:

Put it in and pack dirt around it making sure it's straight:

Then you smile for the camera!: :)



Dirty little man hanging out in the shop.

No worries, little splashing in the bathtub will take care of the all that dirt/grease:

We had a Burkholder family reunion this past Saturday:

playing ball


That night we went to Blake's for supper.
Josh had something in his eye that wouldn't come out.

Looking for another truck, I'm sure!:




Watching a youtube video

We got home from church to find the pigs in Grandma's yard!!!
So Micha, Logan, Garth and Brock quickly tried to fix it up a bit!


We also had company for lunch:
