Hi All! Just thought I would update you all on whats been going on up here. We had a great weekend last weekend with the Ephrata Mills' - it was Penney's 60th birthday so they made the trip over. Here is a picture of all of the kids - we took a drive up on the mountain and this is an old combine that the kids found to play on. They also had fun picking wild flowers. (yes, both girls have pretty much caught Carson in the height dept!)
Annika had her kindergarten "boosters" (shots) this week. She did SO GOOD! She didn't cry, scream, nothing! She acted so big! I combined her appointment with mine, so she got to hear the baby's heartbeat (something she has been asking to do for several months), so maybe that took away from her shots. Her appointment was on Tues. and the next morning as Carson was getting on the bus, she says to me "Mom, I feel like a real kindergartener - I am 5 and I have had my shots!" So, she is now having a hard time understanding why, now that she is 5 and has had her shots, she can't get on the bus with Carson and head to Kindergarten!
I am not sure if spring has sprung up here (it is 75 one day and then can't get into the 50's a few days later?), but spring work has begun. Jeff is working 14 -15 hour days, I think he said they have over 1400 acres to get seeded (of course all which has to be sprayed, etc. too) Just thought I would share that to those of you who thinks he just goofs off all the time (Kami)!!
The kids and I went to the Shrine Circus yesterday. The older 2 and I went last year and they had been asking about it. I think they all really enjoyed it - even Coleman was very entertained - it lasted over 2 1/2 hours, but we all had a good time! The older 2 rode the elephant again - the animal was way too big for Coleman's liking! :-)
Here are just some pictures from the yard - these things that Coleman just couldn't quite figure out last summer are so much fun for him this year - and so cute in his mom's eyes! (the John Deere tractor is battery operated, so he just pushes the pedal to the metal and goes like crazy. He is still trying to figure out the whole steering thing - Carson has to come to his rescue many times when crashes! Usually he just goes around in circles and loves it!
