Catching up!!!

Welcome to the sunflower state!!!!!!!!!!







Wow I have really fallen behind in Blogging! Oops! Just as an update, here is what is going on with our family right now:
Last night we got some bad news. The family that is currently renting to buy cannot get a loan to purchase the house. They want to leave at the end of this month. Please be praying that we will have wisdom in knowing what to do. This is pretty scary for us right now.


Next Monday Amanda is starting back up in college and this semester will be a hard one. Anything with math has always been hard for her so if you'd also keep her in your prayers we'd appreciate it!


On a better note an opportunity has come up in the goat world for the girls to get a free goat! Peanut butter is 21/2 years old and she will come to us bred with the understanding that we will give the previous owner a doe kid in return! This is great as it saves us approximately $400 in stud and goat cost! We should be able to pick her up in September-October.

Early morning toad!


HELP!!! We have summer squash coming out of our ears! Amanda figured our how to can the squash and came up with a recipie for squash pie. (it is just like pumpkin pie) Here is a small tour of about an 1/4 our garden:

An acorn squash not yet ripe:

A butternut squash also not ready:
A WATERMELLON!!!!!!!!!! Again not ready.....


This is our fireplace made out of limestone harvested from our property! Dad turned into Fred flinstone for a week and chipped away at the stone to create this beautiful fireplace! It isn't quite finished yet but it will be soon!
FAIR WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We always look forward to the CKFF fair! This year our friend Heather ran for CKFF queen! We are so proud of her!

Above is Heather in the parade and below is her picture on the Queen and King of '09 wall! And beside her picture is John standing next to some KS sunflowers!
A chainsaw artist made this at our fair, isn't it neat???
Niki's new appartment!!!:
And her kitchen:
I don't want to put too many pictures up or I'll get in trouble! ;-)

Here are 2 pictures from Jesse's 7th birthday!
John's hospital!!! (the one he was born in)

Thanks for updating! I love sunflowers, they are so pretty! Sounds like y'all are doing good. :) I also like y'all's fireplace! That is really nice! Be sure to post a finished project picture! God bless!

Hello, Printz Family,
I loved looking at all your pictures and learning what all you have been up to. Your garden is beautiful, and the squash looks delicious. Love the sunflower and hardy hibiscus. I found an armadillo in my garden today! I just never know what wildlife I will see from day to day! Hope you all have a great rest of the week. Ms. Vicki p.s. Tell Amanda my yard man had to get a bird's nest out of my dryer vent today.
