It's fun to see all the handiwork of my kids and nephews!

Zack designed and fashioned the knife all on his own. Isaac's shelf is the perfect statement of his personality too.:)

See one, do one, teach one. :)

Success! Not too bad for ALL by himself...

Me and my cold brew. :)

The Village Coffee Company, Granville.

Play hard, move fast!

His great grandfather (and grampy) would be proud!

I'm just supervising "to make sure I don't break something"... ;)

They're holding hands! Awwwwww.

Droning with my boys.

It's fun to have them all zipping around, in the air, at the same time.

"I HAAAAATE wearing my seatbelt!!!

It's take your shark to work day and Toothpick keeps jumping out of his seatbelt!

I love my family!

Just hold this for me, for a second...!

Quite a brush hog!

Julie's latest creation!

It started as a clear glass bead and two pieces of wire...

Such a peaceful, pretty place.

Time passes by...

I miss my dad. I sure am thankful to the love he showed me, and how he prepared me for life.

This storm, from Saturday, was crazy!

I spent Saturday trying to give away $10,000.

Nobody claimed the prize...!

I like the subtle, gradient paint job on these cars

Three out of four ain't bad...!

Johnny and I are on a quest for a fully automatic bathroom... Boys are weird! ;)

Rain on the highway!

This storm was chasing me all day, yesterday!

Sometimes it caught up with me, sometimes I outran it. Haha. Sunny in front, dark behind!

Breakfast with my boys yesterday!

Julie's latest wire creation!

A pretty nice looking bracelet, if you ask me.

I like the view of the sunset and the corner of our barn.

My man-kub thinks he's big stuff on this beast!

We all enjoyed celebrating another birthday sign my sister!

We sure enjoyed our Chi-Chi's themed dinner, my sister made us, this past weekend!

Complete with fried ice cream!

And so it begins, for Andy.

Check back in a year, or two, and we'll see how he did, with braces.

I was able to fix the rivets, in my nephew's antler axe handle, with just things my dad left us stowed in the workshop. ;)

"Because you never know when you might need them someday"

My boys, and their cousins, taking up one of Cognex's favorite pastimes... Ultimate Frisbee!

God's creatures truly are amazing.

We are without excuse. It's obvious there is a creator.

Look at those purple eyes! ;)

Thankful for the Godly men, that have had such a long and positive influence, on my life.

We took a pause in the action to get a team photo, this weekend.

The kids made us coaches proud in the way they conducted themselves. Several of the range safety officers commented on their politeness and safety.

We took our third place state team team to nationals this weekend.

Now we just have to wait and see how they did in relation to the other ~1500 kids shooting this week.

Something's you find, in the workshop, and you just wonder... why!?

Like - why is there a hammer clamped in a vice...?!

I was off for the last week. See all our other 4th of July break photos using this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dwbarton/albums/72157683731626880

From dry ice to making fire, it's always good to have cousins over!

The moral of this story...? Isaac, we will get you back one day! ;-)

It's hard to keep the laundry clean when the cat sleeps on it the minute it's ready to be folded!

Does anyone else get as good of a laugh out of this, as I do?

Or am I just more messed up than I realized...?!

The boys had fun at Alex's birthday yesterday.

More ninjas!

Johnny got invited to a wedding this weekend

His small group leader from youth group.

Worth the stop, or maybe even the drive!

Amazing flavors. Goat Cheese Red Cherry, for example... Like cherry cheesecake ice cream!

A new breakfast fav!
