May babies!

Oh my goodness .....if I could communicate the tiredness. This picture does it a bit of justice. Having a baby at 40 is not for the faint of heart. :D

Barry didn't move the clover patch and let the rabbits have a feast. They were grateful. 

Since we moved here. We have wondered what nasty things may be under our old back patio. Today we found out. There was really only one dead cat(skeleton) and a giant mouse's next. Quite disappointing actually. An interesting note though, when Barry accidentally started it on fire, the cat who had had her kitten's underneath the bay window swiftly picked up her kittens and moved them to safety. I was so impressed by her mothering skills. Her mother was the WORST mother. It gives me hope for MY children. ;D

We have four baby goats, 30 chicks, and kitten's!

Spring in the barnyard. 

New arrivals. 

Date night Again.. Walking the canyon rim trail with Mom and Dad. 

Anna shares my love of Costco strawberry smoothies. She squeals with delight when she sees one. 

Long drive to Grandma's house. This was taken at the rest stop. We took Anna out to feed her and when I handed her to Barry instead of putting her right back  in the carseat (she obviously didn't want to be strapped back in) Barry took her for a little walk. It was quite precious. She loves her Daddy so much. 

Anna Rose got to meet Great Grandpa Griffin. I think she cheered him up a bit. 

Grandpa Griffin gifted us Farr's ice cream cones for Christmas. We finally got the chance to get them. The kids loved all the different flavors. 

Dangerous item Barry is making. He had the frame. Ordered the wheels and the motor. I am afraid. very afraid. 

addition has begun. 

We have loved our Friday's together. Ellie has been off school on Friday. So Friday's are our new fun days.

Lauren's turn to get a new bed and mattress. She loves it too. We are trying out a variety of brand, we'll let you know the winner in a few years. :D

The new place for time out.
