Just had a nice lunch and now I'm getting ready to leave for Rolla. I am having a nice and beautiful day, how about all my wonderful friends?? Of course it would be much better if I could be with all of you, but I will have to live without for now. *sigh* :)

Josh and I will be playing at Panera again this evening from 6-9pm with the group if anyone wants to stop by. Maybe I can actually get some pictures this time! ;D We really missed the Jacobsons at the last one, but maybe just maybe they can make it to this one???? We're looking forward to seeing you there, Jacobsons, if you can come. :)

So, a question to anyone who reads our blog: "Will any of you be going to the Rolla Carnival tomorrow(Thursday, the 1st)?? I'm not sure if we are going yet..but I would love to know if any of you are going and maybe we can see you there!! We'll have to meet up with you if you plan to go:) We'll just have to make our plans and see if we can go...

Well all, I must leave now. Alas I have no new pictures to share, but I will try to get some soon. Have a wonderful day y'all, and please get outside if you can..it's gorgeous out there!!!!

I love this one!! We were at Jeannie night after a good swim over at McCluskey's...I guess they got hold of my camera..lol!

Ash and Joel's Engagement party!

The adorable couple..Ash and Joel!! <3 Saturday evening, we went over to the Eldredge's farm for a wonderful engagement party for Ash and Joel. Both families were there of course, and also some extended family. We celebrated in Joel's barn, played games, talked, went on the jeep, and enjoyed hearing Ash and Joel tell their love story. Enjoy some pictures...:) A crooked picture of the cake. Hey, it's hard being short. ;) It's the best I could do. Those are some of their wedding colors.


Susanne, as lovely as ever.
Love you, Susie!! Haha:)


Two very sweet and pretty ladies.
<3

Ben drove some of us up to their house site in the jeep. It was very sweet and we took pictures of Ash and Joel standing inside it;)
Here we have Bethany, Carl, and Ben..and the random hand.


Cake. My favorite part. As you can tell.

Haying 2010!!

Haying!! We had a great time with good friends, and the amazing guys got all the bales in in about an hour and a half! Way to go, guys!
We had the traditional water balloon fight:) I'm sad to say that Chris, Eli, and Zeke cornered me and absolutely soaked me. Thankfully Ben was there to turn the hose on all three of them..haha!
Lots of fun..
Enjoy some pictures!

Ultimate Frisbee!
Here we have "Team Who."
They won.
Go Who's !
And..the "other team."



I love this picture...I was trying to take the picture in the middle, and it obviously did not work!!! ;D Still..it cracks me up.



Poor Sammy got a bad stomach ache from (I believe) 4 Mountain Dews...:(

Lovely girls, lovely. Who agrees with me here?? lol

The adorable Gracie and Maggie. <3


Kenton and Sammy.

A beautiful maid riding off into the sunset..
Don't get any ideas guys, she's taken;) lol

Hard workers..
For the record, I can lift those things. Yes, I know.


Gatorade gals..
'Tis the ladies job to keep the men hydrated.

A wonderful day with wonderful friends.

Jeannie and PaPa's sandbox




This is the place to be on a nice summer day. Us 20 cousins have spent many an afternoon in this spot. Many dams have been built, mush cooked, mountains created. Ah yes, much fun.
Oh, and there is also the legendary Joe-joe Blinkie..Connor's torture mate..but he's lost on the roof. Poor Joe-Joe Blinkie.

Hmmm..It's amazing how sleepy good food, and laughter can make you.

btw, I really miss you, friends:(
Guess that's why I keep getting on.
Goodbye for now though, till tomorrow.
Had a wonderful morning at Landmark Baptist this morning! We enjoyed an amazing Father's Day service by Pastor Myers. It was great to see friends and hear the great music. So to any of you who saw me this morning, "Hey, it was great seeing you! Hope to talk y'all soon." And here I send you a winky face:
;)

Yesterday was lots of fun also. A got to spend an amazing afternoon with a bunch of really great gals at my good friend Kelsey Q2's 16th birthday party! We a had so much fun doing karaoke, eating:), having water balloon fights/games, and just hanging out together. It was fun having time with them all. Then, at 6:00 we headed off to the English Country Line Dance that evening. It was a great night--and they called all three of the most fun dances..the Scottish, Juice of Barley, and Virginia Reel!! I love the Line Dances. If any of y'all are ever interested in going to one, leave a comment and I can give the information for the rest of the summer dances. They are soo much fun and a great time to fellowship with a bunch of good friends. I would love to have you come!!

That's pretty much the weekend..we're getting ready to hay this week--we'll be bringing in around 350 bales I think. Fun!! Best part of living on a farm in the summer, is haying and four wheelers:)
Hope you all had a wonderful week! Now rest up, and prepare for the new one ahead!!:)

God bless now, and take care,
-Meggy Liz

Oh, by the way, Josh and I will be playing with a group of people at Panera this Wednesday from 6pm-9pm. You can stop by for a bit if you want to--my family will be there, and I think the Jacobsons will be playing with us!!

Hello!! Needed to get on to say...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU AMAZING DADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very blessed by my awesome dad, who is a great Christian example to all of us kids. Thanks so much Dad, for loving and taking care of us always. I love you!!!!!!!!

The moment we've all been waiting for.....

Lotta and Lola go to Wal-Mart!!!!!!!

One of the biggest Wal-Marts in the country, and Lotta and Lola are pictured standing in the middle of it. Wow.

Please enjoy this long awaited (I'm sure) extra exciting episode of The Many Adventures of Lotta and Lola.


A moment to remember.

Meet Robert, a very dear friend of ours, and our Wal-Mart greeter.

Wow. Proof. Our feet are touching the Wal-Mart floor.
Or our shoes anyway...

It was a new, and very exciting time for Lotta and Lola.
They loved the attention they got from passers-by. Everyone couldn't stop staring!

And if you thought things couldn't get any better..
It was love at first sight.

Lotta has officially blown a bubble in Wal-Mart. *sigh* Soak it in.

Who doesn't love a wooden spoon? Almost as useful as duct tape.

This place has everything.

Enjoying a cup of tea.

Lola is properly outfitted for this wild expedition.

Conclusion of another thrilling Adventure of Lotta and Lola.
