Visiting Opa and Oma Korporaal

Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) we stopped by Opa and Oma's house .... Went on the swings , checked out the garden, visited the animals...,







So much fun.... Ended the day like this;

Xo




Great morning :)

Cath, Cayden and Sierra came by for a long awaited visit (Tuesday)!!! So long in coming, so looked forward to....
Walking hand in hand visiting the cows and calves


Sierra is a complete animal lover... Dogs, calves, chickies, sheep....





Giving kisses :)


She loves her animals...

We had a fun morning, bike ride and walk to the farm, cart ride to the sheep and chicks...





















Afternoon of fun...

(this was supposed to publish about 10 days ago.... but apparently that is not working properly from the phone... so here it is!)
Kind of a sporadic type of afternoon but a good one :)
Richelle texted this morning if she could stop by with the kids so she came this aft...
Suddenly we were trimming Tanner's hair!! Let's clarify... Shouldn't actually say trimming.... Better word, hmmm... Chopping, mowing, taking first cut... Like seriously, the length we took off (really wish I took a before pic! He grew up so much in ten min!!)
Check out the length on the chair!!
Rocking the new style :) 

Then we went to visit the young stock...









Then the kids and I planted out our cauliflower and broccoli... And thinned out the corn - Ranen thought it was really neat how she could see the seed and roots/plant coming from it!


Saw a really neat shadow of jet flying - sun behind jet made for a shadow to go in front of it...


My darling blue eyed cheeky chubster :)


Ranen snuck a picture of Daddy although he didn't want one... She switched the camera around on the phone on him!



Our first ever bearing garden strawberry!!!
It was SO delish... Can't wait for more :)
We shared... At least it was big!

Love my farmer... Combine into the trailer and all... Just like Daddy's farm simulator on computer!


Last but so not least... She is an easy smiler and talker... LOVE IT!! 

Xo - good night :)

Through the eye of my phone...

** This was supposed to blog off of my phone last week sometime but it didnt...

It's so easy to snap pictures with my phones camera... Not the greatest quality but fast, quick an easy none the less :)

Starting today and back tracking...

Our last puppy found it's new home today!! Ranen and Owen will sure miss having them around - we are going to have to visit Opa and Oma Shiloh regularly for their puppy fix...

Dad's surgery on Monday went really well and so far Dad is quite chipper... Took the kids to see him yesterday (tuesday) :) 
{**addition... Dad went home from the hospital on Thursday and things are going really well - so thankful!!}

 

Saturday... Ben was off and the garden finally got seeded - happy day!!!
Too busy to take any pictures then but I do have some from Ranen helping me transplant onions a couple weeks ago...

 
She loves this gardening adventure.... As well as bike ride dates with Mommy...

 




Dragonflies  and Herons nesting... This time of year you can hear their young!

Hubby in such a need of a haircut... We have up and went and bought a new and better hair cutting machine because our old one just basically combed his hair!!

LOVE HIM... Beyond words :)

Corina sent me this picture... And I just ADORE it!! 

Every lunch hour Ranen tries to weasel her way outside with Ben and Corina - she's getting so smart though!! She does not just ask if she can come along and risk a 70% likelihood of being told no… She now will say "what are you doing this aft?" Or "are you blowing bedding?" And then replies with "oh I can help with that!!!" Now she goes along more often than not!


So the above was going to be posted last Wednesday but didn't work... so then I added to it on Friday!
 
The lashes...
 

Ranen and Owen play fighting ...


Hope you all have a great week...
