Hay Jumping

Here are 2 of my favorite girls jumping in the hay!

Happy Birthday Grandma Borneman!

Happy Birthday Grandma! Grace has a picture for you at our house. I offered to mail it to her, but she refused. Apparently, she doesn't have a lot of confidence in the postal system. We look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks.

Have a great birthday and enjoy the Packer game on Sunday.

Friends at the Farm

Our trip to the Family Farm was definitely a hit because of the great company we had. It was some of Grace & Lydia's favorite friends all packed into one place.

Here a some of the girls waiting patiently for the hay ride.


Here are all the girls on the hayride. Jordyn is hiding behind Jessie, next to Grace.
Here's Lydia hanging out with the "big" girls. She sure does think she's cool sitting with Lauren and Jessie.

Feeding Animals at the Farm

The girls and I went to the Family Farm and enjoyed the morning feeding many animals. Grace and Lydia were eager to feed the sheep, goats and chickens. Ella as you will soon see was not at all eager.

The goats at the farm should appreciate how Grace has matured in her goat feeding. The zoo has a goat feeding area. When Grace would feed to goats, she would say "sit" and expect the the goat to sit before giving the goat "the treat." Her definition of a treat would be one small goat pellet. Compared to the kids handing out goat food by the handfuls, it's no wonder Grace wasn't a hit with the zoo goats. Here she is, a couple years later happily feeding the goats.

These goats sure were hungry!
...and Lydia sure loved feeding them. She was so glad to keep the goats fed.
Ella was not a fan of any of the animals.
Not one bit!

At the Park

Look at me Mom!


Faster Daddy Faster!

Sisters

Most days Grace and Lydia enjoy playing with each other. Those moments are every mom's dream. Check out the latest evidence of their affection.

awwww

so sweet
and they are off to the park.

Fun in the Leaves

With three young kids, it can be a hassle when we try to get out of the house. Tasks that might take an average person 15 minutes, sometimes take me 45 when I have the girls. I try to make sure that the diaper bag is always packed with enough food, beverages, extra clothes and diapers to last the entire day. But, every now and again I am reminded to slow down and enjoy the little miracles that surround me.

Considering that Grace is usually a bit turned off by anything that gets her a bit dirty, it's a small miracle in itself that she loves to play outside in the leaves. Here she is loving the leaves. She loves walking in the leaves, throwing leaves and dancing in the leaves.



It's hard to believe that Grace is going to be 4 in just a month. She days I feel like she's 3 going on 13.
