It was finally time!!!We are all busy with our lives going in so many directions constantly, it is hard to get us all at the same place for a day to make memories such as the ones we made today! Not long ago my 93 year. old Grandma told me she remembers when she felt like she never had any time, but now all she has is time. WOW! It made me stop and think how things sure change for us all as we age. So, today was all for her. Mom, my sisters and all of the kids spent the day at the farm, loving on Grandma. I have so many memories there growing up. There was so much life around at one time. The constant sounds of the milk barn. Cows everywhere along with plenty of cats, and kittens. Now all of the barns are falling apart. There are no more dairy cows around and all of the familiar sounds of times gone by are silent. Another reminder of the passing years! But there is one constant. And that is Grandma. We love her so much! The kids went on many walks to explore. Cooper brought a box along hopeing that he would catch something....not sure what he had in mind! Bo was taken with the goats, he skipped out on this walk.

FIELD TRIP.....with just the cousins
FIELD TRIP.....with just the cousins
After spending the day at Great Grandma's house....Stacy decided that she knew of the best place to buy seeds, for our gardens that we plan on planting this spring. I know nothing about gardens, however I love the idea and Mom knows lots. She is going to partner with me. I know that they are alot of work. But with 4 kids to help, I am willing! Jackson, Sophie and Dallas, actually looking at a huge, beautiful Turkey!
This place was called Bakersville, in Mansfield, mo. It really was a neat place. The weather was also perfect for all of us to spend most of it outdoors.

Now heres something you don't see everyday........
WANNA TAKE A GUESS???
HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW FOR YA!
HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW FOR YA!
Well we weren't sure either at first so then Travis looked it up. It all started last night at around 10:00. All of the kids were in bed. Travis went into the pantry to get a little bedtime snack, and found something very interesting looking up at him with a furry tail and big eyes. He immediately shut the door and came into the bedroom to share the excitement with me. Not sure what to do with it, or how to get it out of there, we put our mostly indoor "diva" cat in there with it. At this point Travis had me convinced that it was some kind of field mouse. I had not seen it yet. BUT.... as soon as I caught a glimpse, It was way too cute to have a cat determine it's fate, so I threw a fit, along with my 13 year old, that it deserved to live and that he must go in there and catch it. So he did. All you have to do is look at the tail and know it is not any kind of mouse, it was some kind of squirrel. And that is what we determined by looking online. It was a flying squirrel, in our pantry!
This was worthy enough to get the kids out of bed. We knew they would enjoy our little find.....and they sure did.
I was hopeing that the lid was not going to pop off while Ellie was holding it. Thank goodness it did not! Right after this we went out on the porch and let the little fella go. Then it was off to bed......again...........but the question still remains, HOW, did it ever get in there in the first place?

"My weekend while my mommy was away"
My Aunt Stefie and my cousins came to watch me for a few days while my mommy and daddy went away for their Anniversary. It made me worry at first because I am trying to train my mommy and daddy not to let me cry. I think they might be catching on. So I had to set things straight from the very beginning.Aunt Stefie and my cousins had to realize ..........
There was going to be a whole lot of this .............
