Warm Weather!!!

Well, I was able to post sooner than I thought. I was able to get a few cute pictures of the kids enjoying the awesome weather we have been having.

Timmy has really been enjoying his new swing! (we like it too)

Isaiah on the swing set.
Noelle riding her bike...in socks!

Okay, maybe this one isn't so cute, but it is funny! Timmy wouldn't smile at me, he just kept frowning or making funny faces. Anyways, he REALLY loves the sand box!

Hanny loves it too!

Look how GREEN it is!!!! The apple trees look really good!

We love and miss you Beth!!

Quick Update

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay! I haven't taken any pictures lately except for these of the pigs loaded to go to slaughter. Yah, I know, pretty exciting right...not! We have a couple homeschool events this week so I'll post some near the end of the week. The pigs weighed in at 247lbs, 230lbs, 235lbs, and Jane was 210lbs! We did pretty good, I think, seeing as we kept them one month less than Izzy.

Poor Tarzan had the roughest time :( He didn't even get up to see me when I checked on them in the morning. Poor guy!

Oops, this is kind of a bad picture. Oh well. Jane peeked her head around the corner to say bye.

If they only knew where they were going!! They were the best pigs we have had so far seeing as Jane only got out of the fence once after we moved them outside.

Until next time, Lindsey

Bottles

Well, some of you may not care, but I am putting pictures of some bottles we recently found so our uncle can see them. Okay, here are pictures I have right now and I will go take more soon!

I think I told you this bottle was "Henry Wilkenson", it is actually "Henry E. Wilken". Other names on the bottom are: "William Wilken" and "Harry E. Wilken Jr". We were able to do some research and found that these bottles were machine made probably in the 1930's. Because of this, it is not very valuable, but still interesting.

Sorry this is not a very good picture :( This bottle is the Singer Sewing Machine bottle that we think probably held oil for sewing machines. It is a screw top.

This is probably just a little medicine bottle. We just thought it was neat because of the dog on it.

Here is the side view of the bottle with the measurement increments.

I hope that this is somewhat of a help. We are planning to excavate more and I will post more pictures of bottles we have already found. Let us know if we are anywhere close to finding something valuable! Or if there are any helpful hints on which bottles would be worth something. We have done research on what would be more valuable such as handmade clear glass in the 1800's because clear glass as we know it now was pretty rare then, however we can't really just look at a bottle and estimate age or worth. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Baby Pictures

Mom went for another ultrasound yesterday. Please be in prayer as mom will need to go to a better equipped hospital in Portland to have another ultrasound to check the baby's heart. They think that something is up with the heart, however it isn't life threatening. We are very thankful about that! If the baby does end up having something going on with her heart, the doctors will just monitor her after she is born. We aren't even sure if there is anything wrong, but we will know after the unltrasound in Portland. So if you think of it just keep Mom and the baby in your thoughts and prayers! I'll keep everything up to date. (People can have this condition and not even know so please don't take this "too seriously" [I guess are the words to use].) On the bright side, here are some pictures...

Noelle took this picture and wanted put up on the blog. Thank you Noelle!

Very happy after taking a look at the new pictures.
Admiring her new sister!

Her first new outfit! Isn't it cute!!!! Thank you Sarah!

April Vacation Pictures

After many failed attempts (and a few nights watching tons of Duggar episodes off YouTube) I am finally blogging! We had a really awesome visit with my Aunt Renee and cousins (minus the fact Chris had a stomach bug thing on Tuesday). Anyway, here are some pictures from their visit!

Hannah didn't want to smile or anything at me, but this one came out kinda cute. Both Hannah and CJ looked at Renee at the same time.

CJ looks kind of funny in this pictures, but this is so him (right now anyways). He always seemed to be playing with or sticking his tongue out. Our Chris has nicknamed him "Michael Jordan".

Every morning Kayla helped Rebekah clean out stalls and they groomed Cainey too!

Cousins!

Rebekah and CJ.

I took the kids down to the cemetary through a trail in the woods. So here they are heading down to the trail.

Benji and Isaiah were running down a hill and jumping across a small ditch. I caught Benji in mid air!

A group picture of us :)

Oh, and our tiger lillies are growing great!

April Showers Bring....

SNOW?!?! Yesterday morning we woke up to snow. We weren't too happy, but thankfully it all melted really quickly. Even though it snowed almost the whole day we only accumulated some in the morning for a few hours and then it all melted. Here are a few pictures that I snapped.

Hanny sticks her tongue out to catch some falling flakes.

Jane checks out the snow!

The boys say "hello" too!

It was pretty for awhile.. although I had no problem with seeing it go :)

Thankfully the daffodils survived!

I hope you had a great day at church, Beth!! I can't wait to hear about it! Did you meet anyone fun ;) ? We send our love!

Timmy Wasn't Pleased With This Treat

When our grandmother came up last weekend to visit and pick up Beth, she also brought a very special treat....doughnuts from Dunkin Donuts! YUM! For some reason Tim wasn't too pleased. Check out these cute pictures!

Investigating...

I think he likes the chocolate icing...

YUP!

Oh wait.... I guess not!

Well, even though Tim didn't like them, the rest of us really enjoyed them!
