Getting ready...

Baer's paternal instincts are kicking in and Bryce explored more vehicles.  

Happy Birthday Emma

Emma had all her friends over for to play in her bouncy house for her 2nd birthday.  

Bryce was more impressed with her collection of vehicles.  

Practicing

Amanda and Emma practiced posing for me.

Baer practiced for our upcoming arrival too. Looking like he's got the hang of this!

First the Boys Got to Work

Before we could leave for the party Dean and Baer decided that Amanda's car needed to be cleaned.  

I expect a picture of them doing this to the inside of my car very soon.  ........

T-Shirt Taste

 Emma was checking out the baby calfs, but they were more interested in her and one started eating her dress.  ( I missed the picture) The cow must not like the taste of t-shirt because it immediately started lick its butt.  Cows must not like t-shirts.

Emma (and all of us) also enjoyed our ice-cream .  

Warm Weather Fun!

On one warm spring day we went to get ice-cream with Dean, Amanda and Emma. Emma enjoyed the cows. 

Emma

                  Emma, Dean and Amanda were my cooperative subjects for one of my photography assignments.  Thanks guys!

Not so fun...

We were all very excited for Emma's first pool party, but she did not feel the same way. Oh well, maybe next time.

Finally a cook out!

We went up to Dean and Amanda's house ( garden pictures coming soon!) for a cookout. Emma was very stylish for her first Memorial Day.

Garden Update

Our garden is growing! We have used some dill, cilantro, parsley. Now my challenge is to learn how to cook things that use all my new ingredients.

Cleaned up

Here we are after finishing our garden. Baer and Dean did their share of yard work too that day. I figured I'd post a cleaned up picture of us from Georgia too. We clean up alright.

Real Farmville

So yes I admit to playing farmville, but a few weeks ago I quit. Cold turkey. I did however get involved in real farmville at Dean and Amanda's house. They offered to split their gardening plots with us that they have in their backyard. So, a few weekends ago we got everything ready to go. Here we are planting our fruit plot. We have strawberries, blueberries and watermelon.
