Springtime on the farm!

This is on my parents property... You can see how beautiful and green everything is with the Dogwoods in bloom. I wish it could be like this all year it is so pretty.

The kids and I have been helping her with the landscaping in the front yard this year.


Here's a good picture of the Dogwood trees and one of the ponds.

Here is the other pond and pasture where the baby cows and the mommas are.


Katelyn and I found this huge snapping turtle on our drive home and had to get a picture of him!



Here are the cows and their babies. They are so cute!




This horse's name is Cody... Katelyn loves to feed him apples and carrots.


Brayden enjoys working in the garden with a shovel and a bucket.



Katelyn likes to catch all of the little critters. She is holding a little frog she found.


We had a bonfire one night and Sean decided it would be fun to give all the kids a ride on the little tractor. I like to tease him about being a city boy... And No... Those are not Hannah's real teeth. She was trying to make the other little cousins laugh so she's wearing fake teeth.


This is not a real horse, but Katelyn likes to pretend it is. My grandma used to own a doll and antique store and they had this horse in it.

Weekend in St. George

While we were visiting family in Utah, we decided to get away from the cold snow and go down to St George for the weekend. We had a lot of fun visiting with Sean's brother Brennon and his family. We stayed in Mark and Nancy new condo, went swimming, golfing, and did some shopping. It was a lot of fun.





That Sunday was Rachel's Birthday. We went to Brennon and Lindsey's house to celebrate her 24th!

Lil' Sis' Wedding

On Easter Sunday evening, we flew to Utah for Sean's little sister's wedding. His only and youngest sister McCall and her (now husband) Josh were there to greet us after Sean's parents picked us up and took us to their home that night. It was a busy but fun week. We had a great time celebrating their marriage. Here are some photos of the temple.







And the Reception of course...












Oh... And we couldn't leave out a visit with "Jewels" from Dancing With the Stars.

Happy Easter

Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
We had a fun time coloring eggs Saturday morning...
First some painting by hand,



Then some dipping,



OOOooooohhhh... Look at those fingers. We painted those too!



It was worth it... Look at all those pretty eggs!




Then we had an easter egg hunt at my parents that afternoon.




Yeah! Go Brayden, you hit the Jackpot!




Katelyn and Brayden's cousins Jarom, Jaden, and Bryson were there, but my sister's family didn't make it. It was a lot of fun still. Jarom was pretty fast getting the eggs, so that was a good thing since they like to eat every last bit of candy in each egg.
