Ulmer Update!

It's February, and I've not posted in way too long!! Seth and Noah seldom get on the computer so I know I'm really behind in posting when they tell me I need to post!! :)
So here are a few glimpses from our past weeks!!
Phoebe working diligently on her math!!

Silas, Mommy and Charity!!

To play the game you put on the elephant mask, then try to get as many rings on your nose as you can-without you hands. It's more fun to watch the players then to play yourself!

Is anyone surprised that Dad joins in on the fun!??! :)

During the last days of hunting season Moses enjoyed having his friend Cameron over to go hunting. They got to go out a few times with some one older accompanying them. They saw a few deer (too far away to shoot), got really, really cold and loved every minute they spent in the field. They are now planning hunting adventures for this fall. :)

Phoebe and Aubrey!!
While the brother are out hunting, the sisters had fun inside playing together!!

On New Year's Eve Seth flew out to Mississippi for 5 days where he worked with a large crew building houses for Katrina victims. He arrived home and unpacked, got his clothes cleaned, packed and was headed back out just a few days later! This time he traveled to Las Vegas with his boss to a Concrete Convention. After eight days out West-- he's home!! We thrilled to have him back! We missed you, Seth!!

A birthday tea-party for our neighbors daughters- complete with snacks and cool crafts!!

Sisters Sewing-- oh the excitement of learning to use the sewing machine!!

During the summer we spend our evenings outside working around the farm or playing games together. During the winter the younger ones keep us supplied with creative and hilarious skits (it runs in the family, you know!!) complete with elaborate costumes!!

Butchering deer for friends---6 to be exact! Our family had a wonderful evening working together!!
Silas has started doing some school work with Mom and loves it!!! He's always eager to pull out his books.
Learning how to use the glue-stick!

Concentrating very hard!!
