My Valentine from Carson

Carson planted me a bean plant at school last week. His was the only one that bloomed so I told his teacher to keep it there so all of the kids could watch it grow and just to bring it home later on this week. So yesterday he had it with him when I picked him up. He was so proud of it.
The bean says "I Love You" - how cute and creative it that!

Cool Cowboy and Grocery Shopping

Carson is still in this "cowboy mode" since he went to the rodeo last week! He went to spend the night with his Nana and Slick Sunday night because he did not have school on Monday. I told him to get ready to go...and this is how he came out. You can't see the boots he has on also. He looked at me and said "I have cool shades like my Nana."

Ok...I know I am crazy taking pictures in the grocery store...but they turned out too cute not to share! It is our local grocery store and they have those old fun type of carts. I use to ride on the bottom like Gage when I was little. They had a great time...I never take them with me to the grocery store...so I guess it was like a treat to them.

Happy Birthday Chase!

Happy Birthday Chase! We had so much fun at your party and playing at Gattitown. I hope you had a wonderful day with all of your friends and family. We love you very much!

Gage LOVED this ride...can't you tell!

Carson was really at the driving games.

The simulation game was the last one they rode and definitely the most fun.

The many hair-dos of Gage...

Ok...so last night Gage got out of the bathtub and I put conditioner on his hair like always to make it more manageable in the morning we when are trying to get off to school. We were playing and making funny faces in the mirror and somehow we got the big purple comb and started playing with his hair. I would make a funny hair-do and show him in the mirror and we would laugh. I wanted to make you laugh and show off Gage's very silly personality (just like his daddy!) Enjoy and hope it make you laugh like it did me!Gage "the nerd"
Gage "is so GQ"
Gage "the punk rocker"

Gage "just being GAGE"

The Click Beetle

Carson drew this picture yesterday at school. I asked him to tell me about it when we were going through his backpack to do homework and this is what he said..."it is a boys pulling a click beetle's tail...mama isn't that funny!" It is from the book by Eric Carle.

Toby...

Toby had such a great time yesterday afternoon playing on Nana's fort/swingset. He thought he was so big just like Carson and Gage. You can tell in his face how proud he was!

A fun weekend...

We just had a fun weekend on the farm! Brad bought me a new rooster (he is still a baby). He is very friendly. Gage tells Brad "I hold it Daddy" so Brad will catch it for him and let him walk around with it in his arms. He is my chicken man!
Toby thinks he is so big now with his sippy cup. Oh and he is now attempting to stand up without holding onto anything...looks around to make sure someone is looking and proud of him then drops back down to the floor.

Carson said "Gage you are the cowboy and I am the horse...get on my back"

We are in the process of building a barn for our chickens, tractor, and one day pygmie goats. So this weekend they started setting 4 of the big posts. One hole was dug and Braeden put Gage down in the hole...he was TOO proud of himself!
