Snapshots from visit to Mimi & Papa

Ben & Carlee watching a video together in Papa's spot

Let's GO Hayley!!!

Oh Hi Puppy!

WHAT is THAT?!?

WOW A real tractor!

Papa's Birthday cake

Mimi cut pretty big pieces! But at least Ben is using his fork rather than shoveling it in with his hand

Sam's new favorite toy.  We could hardly get him off of it!

Carlee loves the park

Sam at the park

Ben watching a motorcycle go by

Ben loves the swings best

Sam loves the slide the best

Time to feed the cows

How can I get those cows over here?

Pretty funny with them wearing Papa Joe's hats. It was so cute how they both tried to feed the cows some straw and even funnier that I never prompted them to do it!!

Hi Sam

Ben is 150% boy - He is the happiest playing in the dirt with his trucks!!!

Hi Carlee

Can you believe Mimi lets us play in her flowerbeds!!!  And look at Ellie, she is never far away

Finally Sam has found someone to wrestle with - Ben & Carlee aren't quite big enough to fight back yet

Hotel pool

 This is one of the hotels we stayed at on our trip to Canada. They really needed to burn off some energy that night!

Snapshots of kids

These photos are from one of the first FB posts I ever made.  They are photos taken at our stops in Phoenix and Saskatchewan which was when we took the long way on our move across the country from CA to NC.

Ben & Matty at the ranch

Sam was a big helper with the horses. They all fed the horses carrots and none of them had any fear of the big horses, they had a great time.

From FB comments:

William: The pooch isn't looking so happy...

Me: haha that was funny. There was another dog there and they were snarly at each other trying to protect the carrots that they stole from the kids, the same carrots that the kids took back from the horses.

William: carrots can bring out the worst in people and creatures alike...

Carlee meets Smokey

Ben meeting Abby

reading with Uncle Scott

Say cheese

 

Whenever Carlee sees the camera she says cheese and then blinks for the flash, but this time it was set on video and there was no flash. She just couldn't figure it out!
