Father's Day

We had a lovely Father's Day BBQ at the farm. I was able to take these pictures. I love it in the evening at the farm when the shadows are long, the cows are in the field by the house and the sun is almost setting behind the trees in the north field. To say it is beautiful is an understatement.








Lydia and Benjamin. They like to pal around. When Ben want's to get rough and tumble he turns to Josh and Caleb.


It was a lovely cool evening. Benjamin enjoyed his cousins immensely and asked if he could spend the night. I would have been tempted except Josh and Caleb are finishing school this week and we had lots to do at home.


My parents have some 6 week visitors. Abram and Levi have come for a visit to the farm from Hooper, UT. They are my cousin's Debbie's children. When Debbie was a teenager she spent a summer with us on the farm. Now 4 of her children have gotten to do the same thing. She sure has a talent for raising children. Her kids are the most well behaved, respectful, yet fun kids I know. (They even know how to make rolls.) I really want their secret. I'd love it if Benjamin was exactly the same. We call them the slaves. They are doing odd jobs that need to be done at the farm, moving lawns, cleaning out sheds etc. They love the 4 wheeler and have complained that their new boots have too much traction. They are unable to slide on the cow's tails. They are delightful to be around. We are trying to talk them into staying permanently and telling their mom and dad to take an occasional trip to see them. (It's not working.)

Lastly, a cheesy grin from my handsome husband. He quizzed the Bowen boys about what they like, what their routine was like talked all around boy talk. I'm glad he is Ben's father. It's sure nice to have a partner to travel life's path with.
