Highlights from the Farm

We had such a good time out at the farm! It was fun to see everyone and fun to see Craig having so much fun. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Motorcycle rides

Craig never went anywhere unless it was on this...
He was SO happy! And we heard this all the time... "Eggo drive the motorcycle for a minute, please, okay!" followed by pulling us towards it as hard as he could.

Playing in the field

Shooting

K.C. got to sight in the gun he's going to use for his first hunting trip this fall. And he even got some good practice time in. He's getting better I think. But for several days he walked around with a sore shoulder!

Scrapbooks!

I actually scrapbooked a page that I like! and made a ton of progress on my sad little scrapbook. When I got there I had only got to week 2 of Craig's life. Now I'm on MONTH 11. I'd say that's pretty good progress!

Photo shoots

I got to take pictures of 2 families while I was out there and my little nephew too. Craig was so excited that he had to be in a few of the pictures too!

He was always SO dirty! But look at how cute and he is! (right here he's swinging on a swing that my uncles made from old telephone poles. There are 2 other ropes that you actually climb a haystack with, put your foot in and jump off from about 20 feet high! - This was the more mellow ride!)

Quilt

I made a jean quilt for Craig while we were out there. No one thought that I could do it because we only had 2 days left, but I did it! And I had some awesome help from my 2 little cousins Lindsey and Kelsey. It was fun to work on it with them. Everyone got together and helped me tie it. So all that's left is sewing around the edge which is halfway done too. I forgot to take any pictures of it though.

Ladies Night Out

A fun thing that the relief society does out there. All the girls get together and do whatever sounds fun. This time it was pedicures and boggle. It was lots of ridiculous laughing and fun.

Pool

K.C. had an ongoing pool tournament with my uncle Mike. He was pretty happy when he ended up in the lead with the end score being 7 to 8. Needless to say the battle will resume next time we go out there.

Spaghetti Dinner
We couldn't resist.

Craig and Matthew having a race!

MACK!

As all who know Craig know, he is an avid 'Cars' fan (the movie). And so he was in heaven when he actually got to drive (sit in) Mack (which is any big truck to him.) I love his face in this one!

he just kept staring and pointing and talking about Mack. He was so happy. It was fun to be able to do something that he liked so much.

Tradition

It's becoming a sad tradition that we never go on a trip anymore without this happening:

But what really makes me mad about this time is that we just replace all four tires after our last trip, when we got a huge blow out on the way home! LAST WEEK! These are week old tires folks and one just decided to stop holding air! How can a week old tire just go flat for no apparent reason?

But since we just plan on getting a flat every time we go anywhere we have every kind of road hazard warranty they offer so at least this time it will be replaced for free. But still it's annoying.
