At the Farm

London & Lillian


This weekend, my mom got Hannah's 2 precious girls-London and Lillian. They are absolutely precious and we all wish we could see them all the time-they are growing too fast!!!On Saturday, April and I took London and Levi(my cousin) to the farm. We were very anxious to see how they would react to the animals and all the things on the farm. When we got there, they immediately wanted to see all the cows. So, off we went! We got in Greg's truck and went driving around the farm to see the many cows. It was great to see their faces and hear the excitement in their voices as they got to see these huge animals up close. Levi had several questions for April..."Cows poops in the grass?...Why is there so many poops?" We got a lot of laughs out of that one! After our tour, we went and looked at the barn and then off to the horses. We also got to see all the dogs at the farm.



We had the blue heelers that were definitely more afraid of London than she was of them-they went scattering as she ran toward them!
The blue heelers are nowhere to be seen!!! Squeak and Emma were happy to see the kids and to play with them, but Levi wanted no part of the "BIG" dogs as he put it. Levi has a dog at home-Max-a Yorkie and those dogs are considerably smaller than the ones on the farm.
Our last visit was to the tractor and I wish I had a picture to show the sheer terror on London's face as she sat in the tractor-needless to say, we will probably not try to sit her in one again for quite some time!!! After Levi saw London get upset over the tractor-he decided he would not have any part of that!
Before he would take this picture with April, he asked Greg to shut the tractor door! He wanted to make sure that there was no possible way that we were going to put him in the tractor.
After we left-the kids waved good-bye to the farm, the cows, horses, tractors, dogs, Greg, and the hay!!!! :-)
We then took them to McDonald's for lunch and then home for a very long nap!!!

Lillian-isn't she cute! She is now crawling and just growing too fast!!!! She is such a happy baby!

Fisherman's Market


Greg is in Waco for a few days to attend some FB Meetings. So, I am all alone...NOT! I have spent a lot of time with my favorite person-my momma! We have gotten so many things off of my list this week-I have felt like I have really accomplished a lot of things. So, Monday I went to see Mom and Dad to remove some clothes that I have had at their house for quite some time. After I finished the job with mom's assistance, I realized that the only kiddo at their house that night was me! SO-I immediately suggested them taking me out to eat since it is a rare treat to just have one kid at home. I wanted pancakes-weird I know-but I did. Mom and Dad wanted shrimp and wanted to go to Fisherman's Market. I had never been and shrimp was no where near the category of pancakes, so I had my reservations. Boy, was I ever wrong-that place was awesome!!!! The food was great and I can't wait to go back. I had a really great time with mom and dad and it felt good to just get to talk and spend good, quality time with them. I am so THANKFUL and BLESSED to have such a great family that I love to be with! Thanks mom and dad for dinner and for all the laughs!
The picture is of me before I ate an oyster-something mom and dad like and insisted I try.
NEVER AGAIN-EVER!!! How Gross Mom!!! :-)
Well-I was about to put the picture on this post, but it was blurry-sorry. :-(
