Tuesday. 

Election Day. 

A very long day running the polls with Daddy, Sarah, Mr. and Mrs. Lilley, and Mr. Ballew.

But, at the same time, kind of neat to see several of our neighbors that we don't normally get to see! :)

......it also means lots of instruction manuals for the machines.....

....and piles and piles of paperwork..... :P

Wednesday after processing us, the Schatte girls and some of the Hinds played some volleyball! :)

Friday, Mr. Childress, Faith, Liz, Mrs. Schatte, Mommy, Andrew, Peter and I worked some cleaning and painting at the rent house....and had quite a bit of fun while we were at it!!! :D

Memorial Day Weekend

That Sunday we had Small groups at our house, and played volleyball afterwards! :)

I had to sneak this picture of Samuel with Presley and Jack Rodriquiz....it is really cute how much they adore him! ;)

One of my favorite parts of the day....singing hymns out in the castle for Grandma

the Kitty joined us! :)

Sam took a picture of me......

...so I took one of him..... ;)

They helped us put out chickens to thaw.....

Samuel got Monday off, so he went flying with Mr. Murphy that morning, and then came over and helped us part out chickens!!! :D

I asked Andrew to take a picture....and he took this......

....take two..... ;)

that afternoon, we went up to the rent house and did some outside work

Hannah, Andrew and James cleared some of the brush out front
