Wood Splitting Party!

On Saturday, the Burke's came over to help us cut, split and stack our wood.  My friend, Emma and I  drove our Dad's trucks up to where they were cutting the wood.  We loaded the trucks up with wood and then drove them back down to the wood splitter, split the wood, then stacked it. We did that all day and it was so fun! Emma and I kept saying that it wouldn't be half as fun if we didn't get to drive!!

Mrs. Burke has her own chainsaw and chaps! 

Libby, Emma and me.

Dad and Dan got the root cellar roof done this past week!! YAY!!!!

Bennett has been saving up money for the past year so that he could get an iPod Touch.  Last week, he finally got it while we were at Walmart. Apple had just come out with a white iPod Touch, and the Walmart employee said that he was the first person who bought the white one!  He is soooooooooooo excited!! (Dad helped him buy the black case).
