We have been tagged by Grandmama and the Franklins in an attempt to make us FINALLY post on our blog, and it succeeded!
Now, 7 things about 7 people in our family:
1. Mama is wrong-hand.... I mean left handed haha. When she was a teenager she subscribed to a magazine for lefties where you had to read from right to left.
2. R.G. is perfectly normal with no interesting attributes.......
3. Matthew can sound more like a black person than Jesse Jackson.
4. Daniel currently has a slice on his upper thigh from a chainsaw....... too bad he can't show off the scar..... but wait!!!!! Speedo man is coming out next summer!!!!
5. Benny got us in trouble with the school board in Florida because, as he said it, "we don't go to school".
6. Andrew was the biggest baby, at 8lbs 8oz. He likes drawing and he obsesses over mammoths, bulls and elephants.
7. When Rachel found out Samuel was a boy, she started crying, but a few minutes later when she held him she didn't mind anymore.
We are now humanely, painlessley, quietly euthanizing the "tagging" monster, as we have no-one left to tag. (R.G. now goes out back with a pistol and shoots the tagging monster in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum)

Our Spring - by Daniel
When we moved to Arkansas, we thought we might have to haul water in a tank to our property. When we got here, we found out our spring would pump enough water for our family! We helped the Pollocks (good friends from Florida who helped us move) build a cistern around the spring and hooked a pump to it, ran the pipes about 100 feet to the cabins, and then we had water!
Well, I sure am thankful that the Lord blessed us with a good spring and we didnt have to haul water.

First Real Post
Howdy Friends and Family,
This is my first real post on my personal blog, and I am using mama's camera on her cell phone, so the picture quality may not be the best. However, I hope y'all enjoy the update and the pictures.
What we've done lately:
Well, my two younger brothers and I have been working 5 or 6 days a week at different farms around here, and with a family we go to church with, so we have been real busy. Our work varies from building fence, throwing hay, working on tractors, logging, splitting firewood, and various other jobs. The Lord has been good to us, and given us plenty of work. Come winter time, I have been offered a job at the local feed store, as our line of work starts to slow down, I'll probably work there.
The rest of the family has been holding down the fort here, taking care of the animals, the garden, and everyday life. This past weekend, Daddy was here, so we got alot of work around the property done, and I have some pictures of that.
We are getting some more chicks in later this month, alot of layer pullets, and a bunch of broilers to replace the ones we just butchered. The Lord has given us many new friends that our in our church, and one of those families has a chicken slaughtering operation set up that we can use in return for help slaughtering their chickens. It sure beats doing them by hand. Our friends, the three oldest boys in our family, and a couple other friends did over 300 chickens - slaughtered, packed, and ready for sale from 9am-2pm. Talk about quick......
Well, I have ten minutes left to post this, and add pictures, so that's all I'll write today.
Gabriel (A buddy of mine), Matthew (My younger brother), Peter (My cousin), and me after the conference in Branson.
My cousins and I playing music at a friend's house.
Stricklens, Grandmama and Grandaddy, and us.
The whole Frodge clan minus Uncle Jay, Aunt Ashley and Savannah - after church.
Some of the trees we felled. Most for firewood, a couple for the sawmill.
Mama with some of our tomatoes.
Daniel Dodgers' (Our nickname for our slightly over-descriptive younger brother) homemade shelf, he felled the trees with a fork, and carved it with his fingernails. He killed kodiaks to use their teeth for the pegs.
Some of us cousins playing music in Branson.
Our chicken pen, converted from a hog shelter. It works well
for us, and we just finished building a brooder in half of it.
Our pig, a hampshire barr. We have it in a movable pen, down along the creek bottom.
I'm hoping to show it in the county fair this year.

P.S. I also have a few pictures from the "Defending Your Faith Conference" in Branson, a Vision Forum, and Answers in Genesis conference.

and we can't wait to try our venison on it come deer season.

Howdy Y'all
Howdy,
This is my newest blog, which will cover my life, the life of a 7th Generation Florida Cracker in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. I will begin in a few weeks, when we get moved and established.
God Bless,
