Little piggies all grown up...and more

The piglets are all grown up. Tanner was out helping to feed them, but he wasn't really sure he wanted to be in there with them since they are so much bigger now.

It takes a lot more water than you would think to fill their watering hole.
The first thing the do when we bring them fresh water is roll around in it...can you imagine it...fill the tub, get in all dirty then drink it..so gross.
Tanner is such an eager helper!
Once they both get in there it really doesn't look like enough water anymore.
We finally have steps!!!
One July 2 we put the steps on the front porch. We had been going in the back door all this time. We had cement blocks stacked up as steps to the back door since that porch is closer to the ground. Now we will finally be able to use the front door.
Everything was lined up just right and the nail gun made short work of the whole project.
Aren't they beautiful!
I had a lot of cardboard to burn and once we got it going it all went up really quick. However it did smolder for most of the afternoon.
Violet was put in the pasture right behind the house this month. It is actually really neat to wake up in the morning and go out the back door and say high to her. If I call her name she comes running and I throw her an alfalfa cube as a treat.
I mowed the orchard and there was a lot of grass to be picked up. Madison had a lot of fun driving the 4 wheeler around with the grass catcher on the back picking it all up.
