Cole's 1st Field Trip, Lucky Ladd Farms

Last Thursday Cole got to go on his very first field trip, he was so excited because we were going to a farm.  Every barn we passed he would yell "Look Mommy, a barn, is that the farm field trip".  If you've ever been to Lucky Ladd's you'll know just how many barns we passed and how many times he said that!  We were esp lucky to have my Mom, Buddy, come with us a chaperone!  Cole was extra excited about that!
 This is sweet Austin with a baby goat.

 Cole and Aubree
 ahh... the love triangle! Sarah, Cole and Aubree.  Now.. Miss Kim and Miss JoAnn tell me that these two sweet little gals tend to "tiff" over Cole!  I mean.. he is mighty handsome!
 Talk about a ladies man... the leader of the pack!  Three girls behind him..


 This child LOVED diggin in the corn, we had to pry him out of there, he loved it.




 The tire swing shaped like a horse.. he'd yell "G'up horsey"
 Next came the farm animal presentation...
 sigh... meet "Henny Penny"... Cole loved her, talked to her, and then proceeded to wipe a booger on her..  and then smiled. The poor girl holding Henny looked at Cole, looked at Henny, then proceeded to look at me in disbelief and probably horrified.. then at that moment everyone busted out in to laughter. Sorry about that Henny!

 The hay ride...
 Below is a picture of Cole and Miss Kim! I wished I had a picture of Cole with Miss JoAnne too but I failed to get one. These ladies are AMAZING, they truly love my boy and they work so hard to help boost his "education" and teach them valuable lessons.  And a bonus for me, I gained two great friends that I respect and admire!

 "Milking the cow"
 And to wrap it up, some ice cream!
What a special day we had, thanks Buddy for going with us!

Easter, Part II

Easter Sunday we got up and went to the early service, but told the kids the Easter bunny would probably come while we were at church!
 I love how spiffy my boys look, all three of them!



 Its funny how nice I have them looking before church and then they come out looking rough... oh well! They were TICKLED with their basket!



 Grant loves taking pictures, he did good!
 We put on a serious Easter spread full of: Greens, pinto beans, cornbread, hashbrown casserole, bacon chipotle deviled eggs, molasses ham, and cajun turkey!  It just so happened to be Mom's bday so we had them over!  It was fun.  She planted some flowers with the kids and they found a worm.  They weren't so sure about it but finally came around.









 After dinner, we hid some eggs for one last hunt for the kids, it got competitive too, its amazing what some starbursts can do!






 An AMAZING Easter Sunset, a great reminder of God's handy work!
 Then for the Easter tradition... busting the eggs we colored.  Yes, we draw a target and bust them on the fence! Its nasty but the kids LOVE IT!


 And apparently, so do the Grandparents and it came to an all out, Egg fight!  GROSS!


Gross.. but so much fun! BEST.EASTER.EVER!
