Botany 101
The Hackberry
We are studying Botany this semester. Our goal is to identify most of the trees, flowers, plants, and weeds of our farm. We are making a scrapbook page for each of these, complete with the pressed flowers/leaves, bark rubbings, photos, descriptions, medicinal value, and fun facts. Look for it in stores everywhere! ;-P
The Sugar Maple
The Quaking Aspen
School Time Again!
Jordin is memorizing the countries of Africa...
Jaxin and Kenedi work on their essay questions from the classic book "Caddie"...
and Jaden is learning to cut and paste shapes (he is the best 3 year old scissor hands in the nation!).
Teach me to Pray to my Father above...
Jordin tried to teach Emma that when feeling grumpy,
just get down on your knees and pray...
and like Brigham Young says,
"If you don't feel like praying, pray until you do feel like praying."
;-P
Emma's smile
First a small grin tickles the corner of her mouth...
Next it spreads to her eyes...
Then her cheeks and chin join in...
And finally the full faced grin that shouts "I'm Emma"!

Emma's Blessing Dress
Emma was blessed on August 3, 2008.
Her daddy blessed her in Sacrament Mtg of the
Greeneville Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Our good friend of 15 years Chris Rowe also stood in to bless her along with other
members of the priesthood in our branch.
Emma cried during the entire blessing, but it was special none the less.
We welcome Emma Lee Annett

The 'Ole Tractor
We welcomed home an old tractor that we have been searching for. A neighbor up the road had it in his barn and told us he'd sell it to us. It runs well, looks great, and guzzles ethanol (from our sorghum crop)--perfect for our farm.
Jaden LOVES the tractor and pretends to drive it as often as he can!
