Horses and Haybales

We had a fun little afternoon visit with Brenda, Kami, Keely and Tressa. The girls had fun on the hay bales and giving treats to the horses.

May Daze

Well it seems May has passed and it has already been about a month since I posted anything.
We've been busy! I took lots of pics of our fun. So here it is...
Early May we helped cut down trees at Grandma B's house and Zach got his first tractor ride with Daddy. We also had some fun playing with cousins there and Auntie Nae had some baby Canada Geese to play with.
Zach really loves Grandma's chickens. Even though the mean black rooster started a fight with him once, he seems to have forgotten already.
We spent lots of time preparing our garden spot and finally got the majority of it planted on the 16th. Things are starting to grow pretty good now and have been working on weeds.
We discovered that a fox had her den in our pasture near the garden. Dean thought he counted 6 babies which seems to be a lot. We were able to watch them play, pretty cute.
We also had a nice grill-out with the A. family - Zach and Tressa had a blast with the trikes and Luke was content to have Zach give him a few wagon rides. :)
Other projects around here... Keeping up with the lawn is a project in itself!
In the past week Dean has been setting traps for the moles in our tree rows - he has had quite a bit of success and Zach knows where each trap is and watches closely that we don't miss checking one. He has also learn all about shooting a gun - as he tells Daddy to "Bootz 'em".

Meet Matthew and Play with the A's

We finally got to meet Matthew! It had been a long wait, as we were always avoiding getting together with one illness or another. On Wednesday afternoon it finally worked. At 2 1/2 wks. Matt seems so tiny! You forget so quickly although not sure if Zach was ever quite that small. Here are my favorites from my photo shoot, I had to sneak one with Mom Renae in there somewhere.

We also had a fun and wild play day outside during our visit. Sidewalk chalk, snacks, sticks, water, and chasing each other around!
It was hilarious to see how Zach got into running around the yard with Tressa. Thanks to the A family for having us!

Playdate at 8!

Hard to believe Zach & Luke are now 8 months old. They hadn't had a play date in quite awhile (since May) - so it was time. Zach was a bit scared in a different place with different faces, as you can see he isn't quite his smiley self. He stared to warm up to the idea as time went on and we even went for fun wagon ride.

Playdate

Last week we got together with Luke and Tressa for a little playdate! It was fun to see Luke and Zach check each other out! We had fun playing and making banana bread - it was quite the party! Tressa knows how to live-it-up like a Rockstar! :)

Grilling and Bonfire Party

Saturday was a beautiful day a bit windy but perfect for a evening outside in our yard. We had Andrew, Renae and Tressa out for a barbeque, outdoor fun and later a little bonfire. Later on Daryl, Susan and girls joined us. We all had a blast!
