239 Ears

Well hello family.

We had a pretty eventful day not too long ago, so I thought I would share it via photos and a little explanation.

On the second of August Mom decided that it would be pretty nice to have some sweet corn for eating right now and in the future. So, she and I headed out at 3pm to a friends farm to get the corn. We decided that we would pick 12 bags worth of corn, one for each month of the year. We had no idea how much corn that actually was. What started out as an enjoyable afternoon turned into a corn freezing marathon. And when I say it was a marathon it means that it was exhausting and lasted forever. One which was so exhausting Dad simply lay down on the living room floor at the end and took a nap. It was a lot of work, but we were finally done at 10:30 pm.

So, does anyone want any frozen corn?

A Great weekend at Conference Point

Trale Here!

It was so good to see everybody that made it up to the reunion at conference point last weekend.

I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with everybody and felt blessed by the chance to interact with such a diverse group.

I was particularly happy that many of the cousins' boy/girlfriends were able to join us; meeting new people and seeing different outlooks on life is always refreshing.

We are busy as ever here on the farm, harvesting, weeding, and caring for the animals.

for some current pictures of the garden and life on the farm in general, you can check out Margaret's blog.

Again, it was so good to see everybody, and I truly hope for more time together through the year with you, the members of our family, as our activities and involvements allow!

Family Reunion!

I just bought my flight's to the midwest for the family reunion in July and am SO EXCITED to see all of you!  So excited!!!  Nick will be coming as well and he's looking forward to meeting those of you he hasn't had a chance to yet. 
Everything is great in Texas! We've been having a lot of outdoor fun... a half marathon along the gulf, camping, gardening, etc.  We just got back from a fantastic trip to Colorado where we saw String Cheese Incident play and did some snowboarding.  Here are some pics:

 See y'all in a few months :)

Karl's life at BVU

Hey family, I have good news and I have bad news.

The good news is I will be making regular Vlog entries. The bad news is that I won't have time to update them here everyday. I will post my first video here but it's up to you to find the other entries. You can easily accomplish this by searching my name on YouTube. I should be updating it every other day. Here is the first video.
