Happy Days....

Last week Keith and Kristyn were out of school for Spring Break.  We had a very fun week!!

 Flowers started blooming - YAY!!

 Onions started pushing through the ground - WONDERFUL!

 Lettuce started sprouting - Heavenly!!!!

 REAL MEN WEAR BABIES!!!! :) (even on walks out in public)

 Tis the season to be tilling.........YEAH!!!!!!!

 Tired, dirty, but happy boy!

 I LOVE this picture!

 I don't know where this child's mother was.  She should NEVER run with a sucker in her mouth.....

 (sigh) some people.....

 Obviously, this little lady could care less....

 We went on the 4-wheeler to check calves.  (yes, all 7 of us still fit on it quite nicely) :)

We counted 25 new calves - I think Spring is FINALLY here!!!!!!

 I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather in your neck of the woods.  Thanks for stopping by to see us.

There's another new post below this one. :)

Fun Times At Grandma and Grandpa's...

I have so much to catch up on.  We have been so busy the last couple of weeks, but it's been a GOOD couple of weeks.  Two weeks ago, the kids and I went to visit my parents for a few days.  Keith had a convention that he needed to be at, so we jumped in the suburban and sped our way to Oklahoma.  The kids did great and Mommy kept her sanity, so the trip was a success! :)

I'll hush now and show you some pictures.

My dad has these cool stilts to walk on, so Owen thought he needed to try them out.

 Fun times!!!!

 This was my dad's car when he was a little boy.

 Soaking in some fresh air with Grandpa

 Cool rocks :)

I don't the kids have ever been to Grandma's and not had a tea party.  This time was no exception.

Thanks Grandma - they loved it!

Thankfully, Grandma had not planted any flowers yet, so the flower beds made a perfect play spot.

 

Time to cool down with a popsicle

 Aunt Mandy and her kids came down to visit, so the kids were more than happy to have another tea party. :)

 Uncle Quentin came by and gave the kids rides on his motor cycle - Thank you, Uncle Quentin!!!

 We made a pit stop on the way going and coming from OK to see these beauties and take some pictures!!!!  Thank you, Misty, for feeding our faces. :)

 It's hard to believe how big Ashlyn is compared to Clayton and Courtney.

We got to see many Aunts and Uncles and cousins and Grandma and Papa, too.  It was such a fun week.  We made lots of memories.  Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for putting us up for the week!

We love you!!!

What !?!

This is what we did Saturday!  It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!

8 rows of onions

 Ahhhh, I LOVE planting a garden!

THEN we wake up to this.......!?!

*sigh* I guess it's not Spring just, yet.

Today is beautiful again with all the snow gone. :)  Happy Days!!!

I'm so excited....

What do you think of our blogs new look?  I just love it!!!  Thanks to my smart and helpful friend Janie who held my hand and showed me where to go.  I told her I wanted to "shake things up a bit" on our blog, so she helped me out.  Thanks, Janie!!! :)

I don't have any new pictures on the computer.  They are still all on the camera, but I will get them on here soon, but here's a smile for you.

**First an explanation:  We have been going on deputation for the school for AGES it seems.  Usually we go during the month of February each year, but with so many churches needing to reschedule for different reasons it has drawn it out a bit and we still aren't done with deputation for this year.**

So Owen was talking with one of his chums the other day and the "chum" said, "We saw Donald Duck on vacation.

Owen said, "We don't go on vacation, we only go on deputation."

:D
