A Day at the Farm!

We had an absolutely WONDERFUL field trip to a farm today!  

Enjoy the pictures!

 They had things all ready for us when we arrived!

Farmer Dan and Mr. Willy Hill taught us 

all about farm life and farm animals!

There were chickens...

And a donkey... with the Jesus cross on his back...

Any kids who desired had an opportunity to ride a horse!

They got to feed and pet almost all the animals...

Sweet time was spent with good friends...

I just wonder what they were talking about??

 We also brought home 2 dozen fresh eggs!

They learned about bees and how they make honey!

Happy Training!

David...

Training for the Kids Mercedes Marathon! 
He has run his 25.2 miles, 

ready to run the last one the day of the race!!

Brothers

A moment of brotherly love...

while reading history together on the couch!

Birthday Party!!

 

Paul and David's 9th Birthday Party!


It has become our tradition for James to decorate the boys cake each year...
This year they wanted a dragster cake...
 

I never would have thought to use a soldering iron for cake decorating!!

The "Christmas Tree" 

AKA the launch lights for starting a drag race

(for those like me who know nothing about a drag race!!)

 

The finished productt!

Growing Up...

The boys turned 9 yesterday!  

They requested breakfast in bed for their birthday!!

 

Snow Day!!

We got snow today... which is rare for where we live...

The boys were soooo excited!!
