Sad to say we didn't do anything patriotic or even watch fireworks this Fourth of July, as it was blowing 50 mph here and that didn't sound fun! We started off the weekend on Friday, The Stagg Clan came home for the weekend. Here I am with LindyJean and Addy Lou Hoo.
Main goal of the weekend. Get two of the cows moved. Goal: Accomplished, after a hards days work, we finally got the cows moved at 9:00 pm. Brian and Eric putting in some new fence posts.
Maddy being such a helper.
Again Maddy helping Addy wash the carrots.
Boss in his element. I think he was born to have a backhoe.
While we had the hoe at mom's house, she had a tree that needed a little trimmin' so we hoisted up the Boss and went to work.
Addy Lou Hoo even wanted to drive the hoe.
With all the work going on Addy Lou got many rides on the 4-wheeler and loved everyone of them.
While the boys worked, and I ran out every now and then for assistance, Jolene and I made pickled carrots, raspberry jam, and homemade marshmallows. Here are the carrots from mom and dad's garden.
Brian's favorite thing is raspberry jam....he loves it. He eats toast every single morning, so jam is an essential in this household.
On Sunday the Fourth we hung out with Josh and Lyndenn for the afternoon. We had planned on a nice relaxing day out on the boat, but mother nature kaboshed that one. We lasted about 30 minutes out there and decided skiing in the whitecaps wasn't that fun.

If those aren't the prettiest bunch of carrots and the carrots in the jars look too good to eat. You make work look fun. I love to do yard work like that too, don't think my boys inherited that. I did paint some furniture came out real nice.
oh man I wished we lived closer! Looks like a productive and fun weekend.
Wow, the carrots actually look really tasty, and usually carrots don't look very tasty to me. Good job! The water looks heavenly too, I love swimming in lakes. Happy 4th!
Hooray for us! People must think we eat speed or something, I am shocked at how much we got done over the weekend... particularly with Bitty the interrupter/Miss Destructo running around and me having to nurse LindyJean all the time. Can't wait to do pears & peaches.
Love the pictures on the back hoe. Who knew it would provide such entertainment?
