Our Easter at Home on the Farm

Easter on the farm included ham, potatoes, baked beans, hot rolls and of course, our 44th bunny cake.





Easter - a time to reflect and celebrate our risen Savior and what that means for us as his children!

Easter Brunch

Great Farm Helpers!

Jacob and Mathew came home with us to help on the farm since Grandpop has the broken lumbar vertebraes.
They were great help to us by helping me do the chores!

Thank you, Boys for being so helpful !!!

A Visit to the ER

After Mel falling and hurting his back, we made a trip to the ER.  A Cat-scan and MRI showed he had Lumbar vertebraes 1, 2 and 3 that are broken!

Melodi and Amberlea met us at the ER and stayed with us during the time there.  

How thankful we are for these beautiful, loving, caring daughters!   We are so blessed!!!
Thank you, Girls!!

Spring Break on the Farm

Jett spent several days of his spring break on the farm.  

Jett reading his book about the gorilla who lived in a shopping mall.

Time for a straw hat!
We went to Ada to do errands.  A stop to Rhynes, a unique store, was made.  Time for Jett to have a straw hat like Jake and Mat!

Of course you can't go to town without stopping at Braum's.
"After many years of searching" (Jett's wording), he found the perfect malt - cappuccino chocolate chunk !

We bought cots for the girls and Jett to use on the farm.

Legos

Amazing how much fun a boy can have with a broom and a stick!

After learning to turn Buttercup by using his heels, Jett really enjoys riding her!












Many fun times and memories!!
