"I FARM SO YOU CAN EAT"

This is one of Scott's favorite sayings. There are always some complaints towards farmers at sometime but for the most this saying says it all. What would we do without the farmers. Farmers what hard workers they are and how grateful we are to be apart of this generation. Our family just finished up there fall harvest of corn chopping and I just wanted to share some great pics. Everyone is involved some how or another with this harvest. Dougs felocity is "MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK". There are always helping hands around and Doug and Roger are grateful and appreciate all the help they get. To family, friends and neighbors it all can get done.

SOCKS

Where do the socks all go. I think that I have a sock monster in my washer and dryer that likes to eat our socks or just one sock at a time.

Shaylie and Mick were given the task of mating the socks last week. We try to make it into a game or a race. Who can mate the most in an amount of time or who gets the most mates gets a prize. The kids think they should get money for every mate but come on really just look at this pile I would be broke with that idea.

The final number of mates were 83 WOW! Way to go shaylie and mick you both get a prize! they were both so proud they took a picture before and after. They wanted to have proof to show mom and dad when we got home what they had done. GOOD JOB! We love you and am sure glad that we will all have socks to wear in the morning.

(the prize is you will have socks to wear in the morning hahahahah j.k.)

T.G.I.F

Well, I am so glad that it is FRIDAY we look forward to fridays here at the Newmans. We made it through another week of school, Mick has made it I should say. He has had a hard time adjusting to school this year, he tells us that he needs to be helping granpa at the farm, then he tells us he misses Mrs. Stuart (1st grade teacher she is awesome) , then he says he has too much homework. We keep encouraging him that he needs all the education he can get. He says "I am going to be a farmer and that I already know how to read and count and thats what I need to know to being a farmer and milking cows. (scary he is only seven) Tamera (scott's mom) says that scott was the same way all through school. Wish us luck that we can get mick through school. He has some BIG shoes to fill.















Fridays always bring some kind of excitement here at our house. Corn mazes to adventure, church volleyball (it has been so much fun), plan a game or two and the usual. There seems to be a friend or 2 or 3,4,5 show up to hang out. Now that the weather is turning we try to get a movie in. The latest ones are Baby Mama and Made of Honor we give both both of them a thumbs up.

Last friday I called Scott to see where he might be and when he thought he would be home I had made dinner and was hoping he would be home soon. He said "I am in Ogden still" me: who are you b.sing. with tonight head home, scott:"I am not b.s. I am just workin on something" I could tell he was up to something his voice gives him away he can't keep a secret very good. So I proceeded to get it out of him what he was working on I started to get so excited talking to him that my kids were asking "mom whats wrong, mom what is going on, mom why arae you doing the happy dance" !!! Scott suprised me with a new camera. I had kind of been throwing the hints that we needed to go shopping for one. Scott's aunt Karen had just got a new one and she would share with me and let me use it at our get togethers. I even had the kids hinting to dad that mom needs a new camera look how much fun she is having with Aunt karen's. What a sweetheart he really does listen to us. hahahaha. I love it and am learning alot with it I am not very good yet but I have time to learn. Thanks Scotty boy, I love you!

Fridays seem to be just a great day! We all are more relaxed at work (most of the time), and we just tend to have a good day knowing that the next day is Saturday and we can do what we really want to do (most of the time)

This post was made for firday October 10th I had to leave and left it to post later that evening then this stupid computer shut down and died for 2 days. Sometimes I hate this darn computer.

Don't Blink

I was looking through some pictures and came across these. Wow where has time gone. It seems like yesterday that these were taken. Our families are growing up so fast. What adventures we have had with each of them and are excited and nervous for more adventures. Our house is full of excitement all the time. It is full of want to be dependant, responsibilities, determination, HORMONES, craziness, children, the neighbors children and CHAOS.

Gotta Luv it baby! I wouldn't want it any other way.

Labor Day

We usaually don't get away on this weekend. We are usually helping more on the farm but, scott was anxious and ready for a little r&r time and no phone service. It was fabulous weather and great fun. We went to Beaver Mountain with mom and dad Coombs, Chad, Wanda and Colter and our Family. We took the 4-wheelers and 2 dirt bikes. We rode the bikes, ate lots of food, took naps, played cards, wore sweatshirts, roped the boys, listened to the rain and just relaxed with no phones to bug ANYONE it was an Awesome weekend. Mick found some used riding gear for $30 that he paid for all by himself. He used the money he earned at the fair with his bucket calf. He was so excited to use it this weekend but, Colter was just as excited also.

We arrived around 7:30 at camp had dinner and visited. Dad, Chad and Mick rode Saturday on the Highland trail (rough ride) Scott took a nap. Saturday night we sat around the camp fire and listened to some fun musicians that were at camp (ugly earl). Sunday we all rode to a plane crash site (smoother ride). Monday we woke up to snow but never complained because it was just beautiful falling in big flakes with the big green trees in the background. The kids are always so grateful when we go camping I love it when they all say "Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us camping it has been so fun and pretty up here in the mountains". We feel very blessed to live in such a beautiful area that we can just pack up and go and it is only 1 hour away. We love Fall time and can't wait to get back up to the canyon to see the Fall leaves.


Always a little fun with the ropes

Plane crash site 10 miles from camp

Always a good game going on when were camping

STRING 4-Sale

Two little boys with quite the imagination. Mick and Mason have been thinking about this for few days. They have just been waiting for the right moment to surprise mom with this adventure. I got home tonight and seen the colors orange and yellow coming down the canal bank road. The closer they got it appeared to be a couple of boys stirring up a little mischief. (it was so funny) Mick and Mason had walked to the farm took some string (twine) and decided they would sell pieces of string to earn a little money. Each of there little brains were going a hundred miles an hour thinking about everything they needed to do. Make a sign, get a table, cut the string, get a box for money, grab chairs they were going to be there for a long time ect. They asked me if I would write on a sign for them and put exactly what they told me to put. I was trying not to laugh it was the cutest thing and they were quite serious about all of it. They were trying to get customers to stop and finally one came walking right up. She was needing a belt for her husband (Grandma T ) so his pants wouldn't fall down. Then two cute girls (shyann & Emily) stopped by but they had no money and offered a bobby pin for there pay and the final customer came by looking for a clothes line when they go camping Mick and Mason had the perfect one for her and her family (BODILY'S). In the end they each made nearly $2.00 each. You would have thought they made millions they were so excited and are planning another sale day for Saturday possibly. Kids have the best imaginations ever, I just love it. Thanks for the great customers of Bothwell.
