2014 In Review - Part 2 of 4

We got to see Aunt Brenda and Elizabeth while they were in Kansas!

We all spent a day at Uncle Todd's farm.

The three oldest Elder siblings (or a rose between two thorns as Uncle Todd said - oh brother!!).

Dodger was being very good with the new little kittens!

We went to Jacob Gernert's wedding!

Mother and Mrs. Gernert

Sabrina and Mocha

:D

Sabrina removed a snake from the nest box.

Seth helped her dispose of it.

Shen and Tabitha (we had a fun evening with the Benders!).

We FINALLY had ducklings!!!

So cute

Sienna turned 14!

Aunt Merilou and Isaac came for a visit. In the picture above, we're doing an experimental bottle rocket.

Aunt Merilou was giving us volleyball lessons!

:)

I caught my first swarm!

Thanks to Seth and Mr. Folgers for the help!!

A couple weeks later, Mr. Folgers and I removed a swarm from a neighbor's bench.


The "O" Family spent the 4th of July with us!

Harvesting honey with Mr. Folgers.

Soaking our feet for pedicure preparation with the boys watching on.  My mother thought it was time for the girls to learn how to do a proper manicure/pedicure!


Sisters ready to work!

Sand plum picking! A dog came to join us - thankfully it was nice!!

As you can see from the title, I did even worse at weeding out pictures for 2014!!! :)


We had our first baby calf born!


Annabelle


Seth turned 11!


Math lessons


Molding bones to build a dinosaur skeleton.


One of Shen's (and daddy's) highlights of the year was being able to be in "Bub's" wedding!




She also lost her first tooth!


We let Annabelle out to play in the snow. :)


As you may be able to tell, Seth is our resident snowman maker.




Daddy helped the kids build an indoor plant nursery for a botany experiment.


Shen plays with dinosaurs much different than the boys do. :)


We went to the homeschool day at the Capital!




Making soap






Introducing Dodger and Duke! We needed more animal guard dogs because, sadly, Samson got hit by a car the end of 2013.


Sabrina turned 17!


The Ford family hosted a wonderful Titanic commemoration. It was so much fun!


I turned 22!


Sayer turned 9!


Someone was having fun. :)
