Farm

Over UEA we went to the Farm with our cousins but I forgot my camera. Little A loved it so much that we decided that the next week we would go back. So Little A, Miss M and I headed to the farm. We had so much fun there was only like 6 other people there. Little A loved the ship and the mazes. Miss M was enjoying the sun and the warm weather. I think that Little A favorite thing was to ride the train and sit in the Caboosee (as goofy calls it on one of his fav. movies). Little A loved it so much that I think I am going to get a membership so we can go more often when it is warmer.

FHE

This post is random, or should I say each picture has a different story. The top left is Miss M, she was playing under her toy and I was working in the kitchen, I noticed I had not heard her for a while so when I went to check on her she had fallen asleep under it. I guess she had played too hard. Top Left a few weeks ago for family home evening we learned about families and I thought is would be fun to paint these people and put them together to show our family. By looking at the picture you can see that my Hubby is the one with the art ability so I sure hope our kids follow in his foot steps. Little A painted his and Miss M.

Pony tail, Miss M hair is so funny and I have found that the long hair on the top works great in a pony tail! Little A is so funny he asked me to take this picture of him I think it is because I was taking one of Miss M.

Canning

This year my sister Kim has an amazing garden. I can not wait until next year when I will have one too. Kim made a goal that she would not waist anything that she grew so we canned and canned and canned some more. The only kids involved we mine and Sam for parts of it when she was not at school. Sam was a great help with Miss M and Little A just needed a box to keep him happy.

Also I love this picture on my hubby and our 2 kids they both woke up from naps at the same time and wanted to cuddle with daddy, what a lucky daddy!

Green Tomato Jam, Cucumber and Green Tomato relish are pictured.

Miss M and Mr K

Miss M is about 6 weeks older than her cousin Mr K. In the picture Miss M is about 4 months and Mr K is about 3 months. The bottom picture is of them right after Mr K was born and as you can see Miss M was like a beast compared to him. Mr K is catching up last Sunday we weighed them and they weigh the same and I think that Mr K is longer. They are so cute and I can not wait for them to grow up together!

Jill's Birthday

I have decided once you are a parent you live your birthdays though your children's'. On my birthday we went to eat and My hubby and the kids got me a cake and some flowers. Little A loved being such a big helper and like always Miss A just enjoyed the day. My parents gave me a new garbage can my niece said that it is sad when you get to a stage of life that you want boring things like that for your birthday.

Miss M roll over!!!

Miss M. was only three weeks old when she decided that she wanted to roll over from her stomach to her back. Today she decided it was time to master the back to the belly. After laying there for awhile she was back onto her back no more laying her on the bed or the couches with out worring about her falling off. Also she has found her voice and loves to use it. During the movie she was so proud of herself that she was just a telling us.

Conference Weekend at the Ranch

Three of my favorite things happened last weekend: General Conference, being with my family, and being at my dad's ranch. Everyone was there except Lance and his family and we missed them and their jokes. Do you worry there was still plenty of joking and having a great time. Conference was so uplifting and always gives my a fresh new start and hope. Jeff is known for the outfits that he is willing to wear to get a good laugh. This time he found a wore his old high school baseball pants, he had them on when Kim's family got there and welcomed them in them. Miss M is loved a adored by many I am sad that I did not get a picture of it because Taylor held her and played with her about 95% of the time she was awake. Reagan is enjoying a book and some cuddle time with Miss M. One night we decided to roast marshmallows and make smores. Little A loved the real fire as he would call it, right now in his life he is always lighting fake fires and putting them out as a fireman.

Little A enjoyed playing Air soft with his dad's help and riding on the 4-wheelers (he calls them motors). Mitch it teaching Samantha how to shoot an air soft gun. We also enjoyed some horse back riding and fishing which I did not have my camera out for those activities. Little A also helped grandpa in the tractor cutting hay the first day we were there once again no picture but he is still talking about it.
Kendal would not climb the fence she was too scared so the other cousins set up ninja training activities for her and by the end of the weekend her and Reagan were out to climb every fence at the ranch. Above is a picture of Reagan, Hunter and Kendal during one of their trainings. Miss M loves being out side aunt Jamie brought her out to enjoy the warm weather we had. The two newest cousins enjoying time with their daddies. Yes Ryan's face is really that ugly.
Jordan was the cowgirl of the ranch she spent many hours with papa on the horses. She became so good that grandpa did not have to lead her horse. On her last ride right before she got to the house she started to relax too much and the horse was done and shook its head and off came little Jordan. She was a brave little cowgirl about it.
