Last day of school and nice weather in one day!!

On the last day of school for Kaitlyn Dee and Kameron came out to our house and we all walked to the big town of Custer to have icecream. Then went to the school to play on the playground.

sleeping in the paper shredder. Playing in the sprinkler after the walk to town.

Just another day

One of the three baby girls born on Fathers Day.

Caidens shirt says "NO means, ask GRANDMA" so cute. I think Spunky needed his hair done too
































LOok how big the pork chops are getting!






Kaitlyn was braiding Jazmines hair. As you can see Jazmine was bored with the whole thing.

Thank Heaven for Little Boys and Beautiful aunties

Robin on the birdhouse with a worm in his mouth. But my camera is too small to get the close up. But still a cool spring picture.

what happened to the sun?

Well we started to paint the house then it started to rain and hasn't let up in days. Looking forward to it being done. My dad has been helping with the painting. I don't know how he can go up and down that ladder so much. I get so sore.
Missing Dominic but I guess Carl and Kaisha are busy with their lives. I miss not seeing him as much. Caiden keeps saying that he thinks Dominic missing him.
Caiden asked me today, very serious "why everybody has to have a butt??" I thought about it for a sec. Thinking he was thinking about something else. And said well if you didn't have a butt what would you sit on and he said "OH yeah" and went on about his day. That's not the first answer that came to mind. Thank goodness I went with that one. KiDs!! Each day he askes some all important question that needs that all important answer.

Signs of Spring

There are many more blooming and yet to bloom. I can't wait to see everything in bloom. Baby goats due soon Sping has Sprung! So much work to do. I got to bed sore and tired everynight. But it feels good.

NEW CAR!!

We got a new car! That is pretty exciting since we have been driving the van for 11 years. Ed has been eyeing the Chevy HHR since they came out in 2006. So he went out and bought one. OK it's not new but to us it's the newest car we have owned. It's a 2007. They are a retro car designed after the 1949 suburban and the SSR. And there is enough room behind the seat to fit all my scrapbook stuff. Or the dogs. It's navy blue. At least it gets better gas mileage then the van. Ed now has to get all his 70's and 80's tapes on CD's no cassette player in this car. Ha Ha.

It's finally SPRING!!!!!!!!!

After a hot day (86 degrees) at the Parade we all went back to Amanda's to Bar B Q and enjoy our Sun Burns.

Caiden found the only shade at the parade.

Great Grandpa watching Caiden run in the sprinkler. Kaitlyn wishing she had a pair of sun glasses.

The sun is making my gardens grow and bloom. We finally got the vegetable garden all done and everything is growing fast. We bought five more trees the other day and that required more digging and work but I am looking forward to fruit someday so far we have Apple, Pear, Plum and cherry trees. Plus we added some ornamental trees. Flowering plum, dogwood, Plus a cool cedar type. Chickens are all in the freezer and pigs are getting big. We added 4 Turkeys (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and just because) They won't be in the freezer for a few more months. Landscaping is so much work that I am sore everynight and go to bed early but I love it. Painting the house hopefully next week. Ok enough about Spring.
