Thanks little boy!

The kids often come in the house with flowers for me...I loved his contribution this day =)

Memorial Day wknd

 A little bit of fishing

 Meri caught the one and only bullhead...and was proud of it =)

 Beautiful!  My new computer background

 Memorial Day brought a tractor pull...James relaxing with Daddy and watching the "trakkers".  "Trakker Mommy Trakker!"

The kids liked to get up to the railing to see.

We tagged along with the intention of watching Joe pull his tractor....we hauled it there and all, then they changed their mind and wouldn't let him pull.  So it was a bummer, but we still had fun.

One evening...

 My little "trakker" boy.  Loves his tractors!  Couldn't wait to go riding with Daddy =)

 While James was riding the field with Daddy, I snapped a few pictures of the other 3 among these beautiful flowers.

Love them!!  I wish they grew in our yard.

Joe called us one late afternoon earlier this week where he was helping plant this field and asked us to meet him there and grill out.  So we did.  We had a campfire, hot dogs, hamburgers and S'MORES!  My pictures for the evening ended in this field before we grilled out.  But the kids had a blast running around, playing in the old barn & eating s'mores =)

Watergarden

Meri's first "watergarden" of the year ;-)

Where to begin??

Well, I have quite a bunch of pictures from the last month or so. I'm sure I won't get to them all in this post anyhow.  We had a computer virus end of March, and that computer was very touch and go with powering on.  Sometimes it worked sometimes not.  So we decided to not get it fixed and now I have Tanya's old computer, hopefully for quite a while!

The last month has brought many changes, such as a goodbye to a dear SIL & family moving out west.  It sure will be different, Joe & I were dating when Charles & Tanya moved back to WI.  So it's going on 12 years!  We will definitely miss them, but wish them the best and hope Wyatt continues to do well out there.  At least now we can go out west & visit =)

Then we have the kids new favorite toy, er pets??   2 baby goats =)

Muffin Top--orphaned baby goat, the kids get to feed a bottle a couple times a day.

 
Moon Drop who is no longer into bottles, but rabbit food now !  She is a pygmy goat, so this is about all the bigger she'll get.  Muffin is a regular sized goat, and he's just a bit bigger than her now!

So if the kids (mine heehee) aren't outside with the kids (goats ;-)  they're inside with Sweetie Bird

Growing up I had a parakeet, who was so much fun, he'd talk and come out of his cage and sing all the time.  Sweetie has a ways to go on the letting us hold him part.  But we'll get there.  The kids try every day =)

What else?

Cousins squeezing in a bunch of play days, enjoying the sun (&some rain) it's all fun when you can share it with your cousins/friends =)

Lastly, a picture of the kids/friends/cousins last Sun. after mtg. & lunch...special times...
