Not too much is new!







Well, I'm posting out of obligation! Paula sent me a little note saying"I hope your updating your blog!" So, here I am. I do have a few pics to share. Above is a nice Big Apple off my tree...don't ask why I took that picture...I just did, no explanation at all! Then we have the nice apple pie I took to our church dinner on Sunday. I must say, it turned out quite nicely! I don't have beautiful edges on my pies...I'm more about the taste. I LOVE TO EAT PIE CRUST! Especially when it's got cinnamon/sugar and Butter on it. Good Lord, that should be outlawed.
Tonite, after supper, I took my boys north of town to a sunflower field. I've been wanting to get their picture there for several weeks and had not made it. I about waited too long, they were not nearly as pretty as they were a few weeks ago. But we got a few pics. Not because they wanted to....but simply out of..."I'm your mom and I said so" obligation. AAAhhhhh...my boys do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT like having their picture taken any more. They think I'm obsessed with taking photos...what? Maybe so, but I can if I want to!!! They were being so silly it was very hard to get a picture and on top of that, we had mosquitos as big as a.....well BIG---chewing on us fast and furious. After about 20 mins we left...oh well, I got a few decent shots, none I want to jump up and down over, certainly nothing like I planned in my little brain! But...despite all the hassle, I'm thankful for the few I did get. Some of those sunflowers were SOOOOOO Big. Wow. I didn't have my camera a few weeks ago when they were in all their Glory. What a beautiful sight it was. Sorry I won't be sharing that with you guys.
Ok, Now I'm frustrated...the picture of the boys walking will NOT turn the right way after I've put it into the blog. Go figure. I neglected to do it before I downloaded it. I'm sure there is a way, but I'm not up for messing with it tonite. Have a great week. Keep smiling!
GO CHIEFS!!!!! Our team was back yesterday! YEA!

Those pictures make me miss Kansas! I agree about the apple pie crust. My pies never look pretty, but I think they taste too good to care. Your pie looked really yummy!

I love the sunflower pictures! I am not looking forward to begging my boys to have their pictures taken. Right now they love it. I hate making pie crust!!!! Rolling it out sucks and mine never look good either.

Mmm, the apple pie looked great! I hope God gives me at least one girl I can drag around taking pictures of. :) Either that, or He had better start developing a little ham of a boy for me so I can stay sane! For some reason boys just don't see the wonderful opportunity that sunflower fields bring for photo shoots. But they're more than happy to let you photograph them covered in mud and all beat up. Such mysteries of life...
*grin*

Ahhh! Finally! Thank you for the update! Cute dudes! Pictures are torture! Even girls get to a point that they don't want them taken!

We have a couple fields around us that are georgous! Love the Sunflower State!

Ok I know that I am not supposed to be...but I am jealous. That apple and that pie make my mouth water. And I am also jealous of the sunflowers. I love sunflowers. Great pictures of those handsome fellas.
Have a good one.
