Bees

A couple of weeks ago we had a man to come and collect the bees from a tree snag in our yard. The kids enjoyed trying on some of the protective gear and watching the bees being "vacuumed". Joel took the honey comb and squeezed the honey out. We have really enjoyed eating biscuits and honey, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, oatmeal with honey, and any other thing that we could think to put honey on!

11 Years

Joel and I celebrated our eleventh anniversary on Friday. I can honestly say that I love him more and more each day. He is my best friend and I thank God for allowing me to marry such a wonderful man. We spent the weekend at Lake Cumberland State Park with some couples from our church for a marriage retreat. Not only did we get to spend some quality time together but we also got to listen to some great speakers talk to us about how to make our marriage even better. I love you Joel and I can't wait to celebrate even more years together!

I am trying to get caught up on all of the pictures I have taken over the past weeks, so keep scrolling down to see all of the new posts! More to come soon!

Just A Swingin'

These pictures were made while we were in Alabama for Christmas. The kids were playing on the old tree swing that Pawpaw hung when I was a kid. It has seen its better days. In fact, it doesn't even have a seat anymore, but the kids had a great time playing on it.

Possum's First Deer

We have a very short rifle season (only 2 weeks). Joel and Possum hunted hard those 2 weeks trying to get Possum a shot. Needless to say the season ended without a kill. The first weekend of the new year is a free youth hunting weekend. Only kids can rifle hunt. Possum got a new rifle for Christmas from Joel and I and he got to try it out that weekend. That Saturday afternoon he finally got a shot and harvested a deer. He was as excited as if it had been a huge buck!

Possum's Squirrel

Possum was able to harvest his first squirrel this year. He was an excited little boy!

Super Bowl Fun

After church Sunday night we went to some friend's house to watch the Super Bowl. Our host, Doug, made this football stadium out of snack foods. It was a hit with everyone, especially the kids!! Half Packers/Half Steelers cake that I made for the party.

We had a great time watching the game, eating, and hanging out with our friends!
