Dancing Timber

So, Timberlyn is 10 months old now.  She is growing so fast and is learning new things everyday.  Right now, one of her favorite things to do is dance.  Whenever she hears music, or anything with any sort of rhythm (i.e. snapping fingers, clicking tongue, clapping, etc..) she starts to dance.  It’s quite funny to watch.  But it makes her so happy!  She continues to be our happy, smiley kid.  I wanted to post this video of her.   I’ll write more about her later and all her new accomplishments.  This video gives a really good shot of what we see every day in this beautiful little girl.
(hint - This video was taken with Leonard's new phone which does HD video and if you start the video and then hover your mouse over it so you can select the settings button - looks like a flower - then you can change the quality of the video.  You can increase it to 780p but it will take awhile to load.  I watched it at 420p and 780p and they look about the same.  I LOVE his new phone!!)

10 months old

Isn’t she just awesome??!!!

Turkey Day

It’s been a while and I really should take some time to update a little bit.  I’ll start with Kaydra.  Kaydra shot a turkey this week!  Does that sound crazy to anyone else?  She and Leonard have been out hunting turkeys a couple of times in the past month and on Saturday they thought they would try again.  They were up at 5:00 am and were unsuccessful when they returned home around 6:00.  I was supposed to work that morning so they came home but I had a phone call telling me that they didn’t need me to work…So… after a quick nap they headed out again.  I was working in the yard when they came home.  I didn’t pay much attention until Kaydra came down into the yard with a TURKEY over her shoulder! 

It was a pretty big bird (almost as big as she is – and bigger than the one her dad shot this year!) and she was pretty excited. (So was her dad!)  Leonard said she made a great shot right in the head.

 

I don’t know how she does stuff like that but she sure seems to enjoy it.  Not many mothers that can brag about their 10-year-old daughter’s hunting ability!  I am glad she has a good time with her dad in the woods – and so is he!  Congrats Kaydra!

Fire pit Christening

Last Saturday we used our fire pit for the first time.  Leonard spent a lot of time working on it last fall and we finally had a chance to use it.  It was a nice evening spent with our little family and we had a great time.
Leonard moved a HUGE rock from the woods near our house with the tractor and planned the fire pit around it so we could use it as a table when we use the fire pit.  It worked perfectly!
Getting all set up …
Eating dinner of fire-cooked sausages and smores – doesn’t get better then that!!  We even had some company – can you see them in the background??!!If you saw the deer, you have “sharp eyes” – so Miranda says!  Here they are again…They didn’t seem to care that we were outside – they wanted grass from the field.I hope we get to do this a lot more this summer – I’m pretty sure the kids would agree!
