Summer nights
Tiny isn't quite so tiny anymore. :)
Jeremy was sitting on my lap in the hammock. When I got up, she stayed and sat there for awhile. The perfect photo opportunity!

Touches of farm life
my hubby's workboots (you can tell he's been working)...
cowboy hats hanging on the mudroom wall...
bow and arrow, camouflage, more cowboy hats...
this little tractor accent on my table...
mounted deer antlers in the office (we are actually housing these temporarily until they can go back to their original home in Derek and Kara's home)...
BIG horns... (I'm against having an actually dead, stuffed animal in my house, and it took a bit of convincing to consider having mounted horns in the house, but I secretly like these in the office... don't tell anyone)...
pictures of hay bales and cattle...
and random cattle figurines, pictures, etc. (excuse the messy desk as we are in the middle of busy wheat harvest/hay baling season and Grant doesn't have time to clean his desk... I don't dare move anything for fear of misplacing a very important paper or sticky note).
As you can see, a great deal of my life now revolves around farming, cattle and hunting. And that is just inside my house... we won't get into the lodge, shop, and the rest of the farm. Wouldn't trade it for anything! But don't worry, I still get my "city" time working my part-time job in the booming metropolis of Newton, KS. Here's a link to the website that tells about Main Street Company and the two other stores by the same owners: http://www.highstreetco.com/hsmain.html Come visit them if you are ever in Newton!!
Relaxing...

Alyssa Jo Klingenberg!!!!!!!!!!
Derek and Kara had their second baby girl on May 17, 2010, Alyssa Jo. We're so excited for them! She was 6lbs, 3oz. and 18 inches long. She is such a beautiful baby, and so easygoing. Makayla is definitely a proud big sister. She always wants to "hold you", aka, hold her (meaning Alyssa). So cute! Congratulations Derek and Kara!
Makayla and Grandma Kaufman checking out new baby sister.
Proud Aunt Allie and Uncle Grant!

Tornado chasing
Crazy crazy, if you ask me. Nevertheless, they enjoy it. If you want to see videos of the tornadoes they have captured this year, you can see them on youtube at:

Big cat in a little bowl
Climbing in..
and getting comfy.
Why it seemed like a good idea to curl up in the bowl? No one knows. :)

Corn Hole
I was trying to distract her with the camera.
I thought this picture of her running toward me was too cute not to post.
So I told her to pose and smile. Then she would want to see the pictures.
"Cheese!"
