Jim and Diane: April 2015
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Apr 26, 2015. Brief Update and Few Picts. The plan was for Jim to plant 80 acres of the north land but between Wednesday and Friday they’d gotten 2-1/4” of rain. And the culvert was completely blocked with tumbleweeds and debris so the water had jumped the culvert and washed out a bit of our driveway. There was so much mess that had to be cleaned up Saturday morning. By the time we were done I was coated in mud including my bum because I’d slipped at one point. ha! Have a great week! Apr 19, 2015. Jim we...

Jim and Diane: August 2014
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Aug 23, 2014. I haven't blogged in nearly a month but there's been a lot going on at work and home so I just haven't had the time or inclination. Matt was on duty Tuesday so I spent the day with Lynlie. In the afternoon she participated in some inservice workshops at her school via Google Hangouts on her computer. While she did that I caught up on my work email and requests. I had some help. Lea got her first school shirt this week. So cute and really soft! He makes me smile. While I was feeding Angelo o...

Jim and Diane: 4th of July Weekend
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015/07/4th-of-july-weekend.html
Jul 5, 2015. 4th of July Weekend. I’m just going to do a quickie blog because I have other things I need to be spending time on today…. We had a short week at work because Jim and I were both off on Friday. We went down to the farm Thursday night and worked outside all day Friday spraying weeds, taking care of the cows, and other chores. We have a Kildeer bird that has laid eggs at the edge of our drive so I put some stuff around it so nobody would drive over them. Allen had found this bull snake that he...

Jim and Diane: Catching Up
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015/06/catching-up.html
Jun 28, 2015. I didn’t blog last weekend but the previous week we had kept Lea from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday. Matt and Lynlie went on a cruise with two other couples so Lynlie’s mom kept Lea from Saturday until Wednesday then we swapped. Jim took off work on Thursday and Friday to be with us and we had such a great time with her. We went to the Sea Life Aquarium on Friday. We’d never been there but had heard it was really good. The trail camera I had put on a tree by the house caught a coyote.

Jim and Diane: June 2014
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Jun 29, 2014. Jim got home pretty early on Friday so we got to the farm at about 7 or so which was really nice. We saw the cows out in the pasture as we drove by and they were all grouped up but looked like everyone was there. I always try to do a head count. We were in shock and couldn’t figure out how that could even happen! I took a bunch of pictures, we fed them, then went on to the north field to see the hay grazer. He was laying down and let me love on him which was surprising. Usually we only ...

Jim and Diane: February 2015
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Feb 22, 2015. I've been studying for a few weeks to take the Google Administrator Certification exam. Finally on Friday I decided I was as ready as I was ever going to be so I submitted the info to take the test and said goodbye to $100 (but I'll get reimbursed for that.). Anyway, I passed! Too Young To Feel This Old. All of this took several. Hours to do. The cows supervised from their napping spot. Gathered up all our tools etc, went back and put everything away then went back down to the pasture with ...

Jim and Diane: March 2014
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Mar 30, 2014. A Change Of Plans. The weekend didn't turn out quite like we planned it…. Anyway, the plan was for us to get up early on Sunday, go over and get Outlaw in the trailer, then come back and put Lacey in the trailer behind him (the trailer is divided.) We had gone out to see Outlaw Saturday night and he was all over us to get cubes. Our sweet, sweet Lacey. The raccoons had apparently been trying to drive the Kubota last week. I picked up Lea from her babysitter on Tuesday because Lynlie had an ...

Jim and Diane: Too Hot To Do Anything
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015/07/too-hot-to-do-anything.html
Jul 19, 2015. Too Hot To Do Anything. This is just random stuff. A couple of the Alsabrook kids have been visiting their cousins in Mansfield since 4. They were a little late getting there and told us Kayla had gotten stopped for speeding and got her first ticket before even leaving town. She did a good job of following us on the highway even though there was. Some dancing going on back there in our rearview mirror. O) We fed them all at Whataburger then finally got to Haskell at about 7. On Saturday mor...

Jim and Diane: May 2015
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
May 31, 2015. Why is it that 4 day weeks are the longest at work? The rest of the week went really slow even though we had stuff going on. Matt was on duty Thursday so I picked up Lea from school then we picked up Lynlie later and took her to dinner. When I got to Lea’s school she didn’t see me at first then once she did she lit up, threw her hands in the air and said, “Mimi! 8221; My heart just melted. We’ve been getting a lot. I took a bunch of pictures with my phone. These pictures remind me of photos...

Jim and Diane: July 2014
http://dianeisbell.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Jul 27, 2014. Vacation Tip #1: Paying extra for exit row seating is totally worth it when you're 6'4" and have to sit on the plane for 3 hours before even leaving on a 4 hour flight! Flying into Seattle has some beautiful views. Jim sent this shot to his co-workers to be mean. While we were standing on a bridge watching some kayakers an eagle flew overhead and landed high in a tree across the road. I just started snapping pictures as fast as I could because I didn't know how long he'd stay. He wa...Once ...
