I never considered myself a "country girl" or considered Newton "country", but after being away for a while I've realized you don't get much more country that this! I love it though. It's so nice to have nice fresh air and beautiful mountain views everywhere you look. Also, it's SO QUIET there! Besides the cows and goats and dogs there's really no other noises. Another thing I love is picking home grown vegetables and enjoying them at your dinner table just minutes later. Is anything more delicious? My mom's peas were ready for the pickin' so we took the kids out with us and had a pea picking fest!
Halle and Carson were super helpers and cooperated very well together. They were having a competition with me to see who could fill up their bowl the fastest.
Carley and Alivia gettin in on the pea picking extravaganza!
Then it's time to shell the peas. It's like my mom said, "It we had to live on our crop of peas, we'd starve!" You don't get many peas for all your labor, but it's fun just to sit around and visit while you shell, and shell, and shell and shell some more peas.
Kjeaton helped out by keepin us entertained and riding the tractor sprinkler.
Carson and Halle very dedicated to the shelling of the peas.

SO FUN!!! I am so disappointed that my camera died before I could take any of these cute pics...Carson picks our peas and has to have 3 bowls lined up just like we did at mom's....very fun!
Love all of your updates....I love you OOOOOOOOOOODLES!!!!
great to see the fruits or "veggies" of our labors, I had to freeze some of the peas, Kev and I could not get them all eaten. I am sure that we will appreciate them later this year, I need to scope the pea patch out and see what damage has been done with no one to pick them. Cute pictures of all the kids, what a team we make. Lopve you bunches MOM
sorry about the typo, forgive me
So much fun. And fresh peas are the best. I am sad I didn't get my plants I had planted indoors in the garden before they got too big and died. It was so cold I didn't dare plant them and then they grew too big. Hopefully next year I will do a better job.
Those peas were delicious!
You need to post about the earthquake in LA and tell us all about it. Your mom said you guys felt it. CRAZY! I'm so glad you are all okay.
Amazing how big your kids have become, im sure Halle is a "princess" if she is anything like Hannah was. Hope everything is going great(which it sounds like).
