Farmin' Along, Part 1

We have spent many weekends at the farm this month. 
My dad was building a barn to store the tractor and 4wheeler, plus serve as a place for guests to sleep.  It is complete with a full bathroom and kitchen.  This is pretty fancy compared to what we are used to!  Well, except for my dad's RV... that is a nice home in itself.
My boss from XTO, who is also a close personal friend, did all the electrical work.  Jay grew up as an electrician by trade, taught by his own dad.  I don't think he realized what he was in for when he took on the job.  Poor guy.  We REALLY appreciate his handywork!!  So much!
All of the boys helped put up the roof, which was a big challenge with all the wind.  Mark cut himself pretty bad on his hand.  Shane swallowed a bee and was stung in his throat.  Ryan kept making careless mistakes and getting annoyed.  Kyle had a few frustrating moments, too. God was really challenging their patience.  But, it all worked out and was complete before the rain came pouring. 
While the boys did their thing, I took the kids on a few walks and 4wheeler rides... taking pics along the way. 
Tay went on a mad stick hunt.
 And she had to...
 taste...
 every single one.
 She had a leaf bath.
 She makes this face and then says "Pleeeeease!!" when she wants something.  Must've been another bite of her stick.
 And she had a sand bath.
 She tried not to fall into the almost non-existent pond.  Poor rickety thing needs LOTS of rain.
 She was so tired on our way back. 
While I put Tay down for a nap, the boys continued banging around on the barn.


Sausage, rice, and beans hit the spot!
 Yummm!
Good night.
