April Happenings

Welcome back, friends and random viewers! A very full April, 2018 is in the books, and it began with...LAMBS!

 Caution: lamb overload ahead!!!
This is an all-time favorite! Isaiah had a captive audience.
Katherine was just happy to have a farm animal she could carry!
Got to see this one being born!

For Nana and Grandpa, it was love at first sight meeting our bottle lamb, Buddy.
Next Day: We are at Smallin Civil War cave for a tour!
Enjoying an Osage song
"Rule number one, always listen to John. Rule number two, stay on the path. Rule number three...he who has gas, must travel at the back of the pack (Just Kidding!)."

Hey cute little fella

August In A Nutshell

Hello folks!  We hope you all had a great August!  This month Mom, Dad, and Isaiah drove to CO to drop Peyton and Norah off, so they could visit with our Grandmas for two weeks.

April

 Welcome Back!! Hope you all had a great April! For us, it was quite crazy! But I guess we should be used to that by now.

Springfield Symphony in Downtown Springfield! Such a beautiful building!! The Symphony!  We also had the pleasure of getting to watch one of the world's best cellists, Bryan Cheng! When you randomly discover that the blue lights in your room make yellow highlighters glow! .....and your siblings ask you to write all over them, and not only do you listen to them but you also think it's a great idea🙈 It's a yellow nose and arms for the win!! Somebody's got a bun in the oven! ;) It's Anna in the background for me! 😂 Got a chance to get some quality time in with this beautiful girl! I love our walks and
