Happy 5th Birthday

3 weeks old

1 year

Birthday phone call today from Grandpa & Grandma.

Our tradition is that each child picks the meals on their birthday. This is quite important & well thought through. At supper time I mentioned that everyone should be sure to take some applesauce & Casey said, "yeah because I didn't pick a healthy meal."

This picture was from lunch which wasn't much healthier then his supper choices. He told JoAna that the apples were not on his schedule, Mom added them.

Happy Birthday!

A party & a beautiful day

Last evening Jons, Glens & us got together to celebrate the January & March birthdays.

We are having a beautiful Saturday. Today we are celebrating with...

bare feet

a picnic on the porch

& wagon rides.

Winter Wonderland

I declared several weeks ago that spring was here to stay. Thankfully I was mistaken & we were able to enjoy one real snow this winter.

Ben spent most of the morning shoveling snow & regretting the fact that he does not own a tractor.

Be impressed, we shoveled our entire driveway.
