WOW How easily you forget things!

WOW!!!!  HOW EASILY YOU FORGET THINGS!!!!!

I can't believe how long its been since I've posted on here!!  Goes to show how fast the world moves around us. 
Lets see......lets try to bring you all up to speed. 
We are still farming Red Cloud Farms, LLC.. Chloe is now five and in Kindergarten!!  Loving everyday of it!!!!!  (last post talked about our baby boy's awaiting arrival) Adron Mack James (7/26/10)  is now 3 growing like a weed and keeping us all very busy!! 
Both kids are great and growing up so fast.  Loving the farm and sheep as much as any farm kid could.
We officially live on our farm now!  Makes planting and harvest seasons much easier now that Rex doesn't have to drive 13 miles home every night. 
I'm still working and as busy as ever trying to keep up with the kids, house, farm, and our seed business.  Beck's Hybrids all the way!!!!  Red Cloud Farms LLC Seed Service!!!
A growing seed company not real local in our area!  So pushing that forward has been fun!  Life is just as busy as ever!!!  And I love it!!!!!

Hope all of you have a wonderful Holiday Season!!! 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Rex is busy with Farming, its that time of year again>>>
He spent the past 5 days in El Reno, OK for a soils contest with Vincennes University Team.. They placed 4th!!! So that was a great thing for the team!!!
Chloe is growing like a weed, just had her 2 yr pics done, and I promise as soon as they come in we will get them posted!!!

Not much has changed!! Hopefully by tonight Rex will be done harvesting...What a crazy year!!!
Im so ready for the down time the next 3 months!!!
If I dont post any more...
Happy Holidays to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween adventure!

We took Chloe out to a few places for her "candy stop".. Chloe and Daddy picked me up from work...Well of course when she went in she was spoiled by Christy who gave her ever sugar item available, including an 8oz can of MT DEW!!!! Then we stopped 3 more places before making our way to Christys house so Frank could see the cute little butterfly!!! Finally at like 9 we decided it was time to go home, but Chloe had other plans...She didnt want to leave her little friends Brianna and Carson.. But we had a blast just wish I didnt have to work the following morning! Im so tired now...Four days of 12 hour shifts just wears me out.. By 4 today i was ready to run home, curl up on the couch and nap until Rex and Chloe got home...But for some reason those crazy girls today wouldnt let me leave... they kept saying that these people needed to be feed and i continued to reply with- well there is always TV DINNERS in the freezer..Glad to be home!! So excited to sleep in tomorrow. pray chloe does the same!!!

"WHAT A FOOL"

Well I know a little while ago, I had posted that we were moving....Unfortunately not going to happen in the state of Indiana!!!!
To our lastest findings.........The state of Indiana has a law that has been in effect since the early 80s that no septic systems can be issued in a flood plain.....which I can't help but to find this very interesting.....My in laws built their house in this same flood plain only 12 years ago....But our county Health Inspector informs me that was a different time and different person......How is it okay for one to do something that the other can not......it doesn't make much sense to me....
So anyway, where our trailer was to set is in a hundred year flood plain (mind you the last time there was any water near the area was back in 1953) My father and fathernlaw both barely remember this flooding... after it was all said and done our trailer was to sit at least 411 feet above the flood stage, which was no problem.....our septic system however was only going to be at 406...I cant believe that 5 feet makes that much of a difference..... But what do I know!!
So I continued to throw my "Blocher" temper around (as Rex calls it) So I asked, even if by some chance I had won $100,00,000, I wouldn't be able to build a house on any of my ground due to the flood plain...And the man said yes mam that is correct....I threw my hands in the air and continued to tell him that it was stupid that people TAX PAYERS.. cant do what they wish with their own ground...and he just looked at me like I was going to hit him or throw something.... So of course my temper got the best of me I demanded all the money we had spent in permits...that for some reason he had issued prior to knowing the area was in a flood plain....
And I stormed out and looked at Rex and demanded that we should move out of this stupid county......
SO of course later on as I made myself calm down....I realized how stupid and childish I had been.....
I looked at Rex and said that i had been a fool...And then I realized that God has his plan for us and maybe moving wasn't in that specific plan.... Things happen or don't happen for a reason... Maybe its best...Only he can see what the future holds...

George goes to Indianapolis

Here in Vincennes, we have a wonderful monument called George Rogers Clark Memorial...

Its beautiful to see in person. It sits next to the Wabash River....

Our local paper has been issuing this little wooden cut out of the memorial...AKA George. Encouraging people to take him on their travels...

So we decided to take George to the state fair....

The Combine

Daddy and Chloe

Daddy looks for his John Deere key to see if it will unlock the door.. oddly enough it did...

Chloe and her daddy play on the combine that daddy can only wish to own....

I dont know if its close enough to see the price tag...but the combine alone is $389,000 and the corn head that is attached at the front is $81,549....$81,549 just to pick corn....

Who ever said farming was cheap? Can you believe that for $500,000 you could harvest your corn in this beautiful combine...As Rex and I was discussing, that doesn't included the Grain head which is used to harvest wheat and soybeans.
Of course I would love to have it...look it has a seat for me and chloe....haha (daddy can ride in the tractors...)
