Monday June 22

Yesterday after church, Brent said he wanted to go over to Bro. Wickards house for FHE Monday night and cut down his cherry tree for him.

I said that was great, but I wanted to make sure he would be okay using the chainsaw.

He laughed.

He said if he can go to work....then he can cut a tree down :)

He also said that we gotta get out there and start giving back for all the service we received over the last few months.

He was excited to get out there and help out.

So today, Dad was gone all day because he is teaching a ropes class this week.

It will give us some much needed overtime.....since we have gone almost 6 months without overtime!

(He jumped back into work with both feet in and maybe up to his neck ;)

While he was working, the kids and I tried to come up with a chore chart that we can start working on.

We got some cleaning up done and Madi painted the deck some more.

Cannon and Avery came over for a while, and then Cassi and Port went and swam at their house.

And I got some grocery shopping done.

Dad came home and we had dinner and went right away to the Wickards home.

The kids were so excited about helping out and it was so great to work together as a family.

It was a really great night.

Bro Wickard is a treat to be around.

Always so grateful and spiritual.....and always helps us to remember how thankful we are for the many blessings we have received.

It was a great night for all :)

And I even came away with a couple heart shaped stumps!

Not sure exactly what I am gonna do with them yet....but I was super excited when Cassi pointed them out to me :)
