"Country" Cousins?

Last weekend our family happily welcomed 2 of our cousins who would be spending the weekend with us while their family trekked to "Not-So-Sunny-St.George" for a baseball tournament. Laken, age 11, fits right in our largest gap of Reed and Coleman, and Cael, age 2, fits the spot of "the little brother we all wished for". So for the weekend I was the mother of 7...just like my mom permanently was..well minus twins! I guess she'll never have any of her offspring who can really identify!!
Anyway...the kids all did great and had a fun weekend together. They like to give all the little people who come a taste of our mini-farm life. Kaycee is coaxing Cael to help check the chicken eggs! I think he settled for holding the basket.
The weather perked up Saturday afternoon so they decided to take a field trip to our neighboring dairy farm. The were eagerly greeted by the residents there.
This guy wanted a little lovin from Janey I guess!

It's always an adventure to visit the dairy...especially during a February thaw...there aren't any flies, but the smell, sloppy ground and mud can make up for it!

Funny how animals and kids seem to go hand in hand for smiles and good times...well mostly good times. This video clip shows Cael's "other" reaction to life on the farm.


"Eww...That's Gross!"

You know, some people pay big money to go visit a farm. Your children are receiving a huge blessing by growing up in an environment where they understand very clearly where those ham and eggs come from.

That clip is hilarious! Who is that city slicker!?

Cael is missing your house like crazy. He keeps saying he wants to go AGAIN!

Thanks again for all of your entertainment, food, nurturing, love, etc. etc. etc.
