Almost spring...maybe

I was much too busy this weekend to actually remember to take pictures. So I will just have to give you the quick update.

Friday night Skinner went to pick up Brandi from her mother. Before he left he parked the mini-excavator in the front yard. I thought it was a cue for me, but really he did it so he wouldn't tear up the yard moving it if it rained that night. So when he got home he discovered that I had torn up the yard. We were trying to remove some grass to put in a flower bed. It was my first time in the Mini and I had Kaj helping me so I dug up a bit more than just the grass. Anyway, Saturday came around and we worked all day on the new flower bed. Grandpa Bill and Grandma Gert stopped by to visit and the boys from the cabin on the river to up quite a bit to visit us during the day. It was beautiful out and we got it just about done. Saturday night Brandi's friend Sophie and her mother came up for a BBQ. Then Karli texted that she and her boyfriend Dan were on their way up to head out on their canoe trip...correction...fishing trip.

Sunday was another beautiful day. Dan and Karli headed out about 6:30 and we went back to work on the flower bed and Skinner started fencing in more of the surrounding area to give the girls more grazing room. Again more visits from the boys. I think the youngest one has a crush on Brandi. Gavin and Brandi eventually got over their shyness and played. You don't get to play together very long when you spend three quarters of your time not looking at each other because you don't want the other one to know that you might want to play.

Not sure if any of this is making sense I have been looking at this computer screen too long.

Since Sunday evening the weather has cooled down again and the clouds have rolled in. All I have to say is that I don't care if it is a fishing trip or a canoe trip I would be very cold. Thursday should be nice, so at least they will have one nice day.

Other than that not much has changed. Supposedly starting on Monday we will have Brandi for the next 14 months while her mother is training for the Border Patrol. It should be a great year and I am excited for Brandi to be able to just stay in one place for a year.

On the farm

Mommy's little helper. He did a great job vaccuming this last weekend.
Brandi on Mother's Day on the beach in front of Nanaboju.

Bampa and Kaj on the beach.

Aren't they just the cutest!

Everyone on the beach.

Kaj and Brandi on Mother's Day before we left for breakfast.

Brandi of course taking care of the Kaj guy. I just don't get to do anything with him when she is around!

We went to the neighbor's farm to feed calves this last weekend. In the picture is Brandi's friend Sophie and Spencer is the little man farmer showing us how it is done.

Karli and I giving it a try.

This is Kaj feeding Beefcake. Beefcake by far is the friendliest calf. And he is just so cute.

When Auntie came to visit this weekend I tried to get a picture of her and Kaj, but strangly she could not keep a straight face so this is what you get.

She just couldn't do it. Kaj was cracking her up way too much.

Spring Time!

It is starting to be a bit like spring out there. Kaj had to wear shades it was so bright.

He was helping Grandpa with yard work.

Grandpa just can't wait to get him into the canoe.

We went for a drive Sunday afternoon. This is mostly what Kaj did. He has been sucking in that bottom lip since he was born.

We got a little stuck. Skinner went to go and get a piece of equipment to pull us out but while he was gone I got out of it! I earned a few points there.

It has been a long week with no Sissy. One more week and we will get to see her again.
