Grandma and Grandpa’s Spring Visit

 

Every spring and fall Grandma and Grandpa make it out to Kansas with some cousins. This time, they brought the whole Blunier Family. We had a lot of fun! We barely saw Gabe and Marcus, as they were working for a man who is planting a whole bunch of grapes. They worked long days!!!

The rest of us enjoyed the beautiful weather. We took walks, took pictures, held baby kittens, did some swinging with Grandpa, set up a tent, and Cole and Jared played in the windbreak and hammered on the tree fort.

Here are the photos of the 3 days they were here.002

Oh, and Cole’s 4-H bucket Calf was born! We picked it up on Tuesday! He named it Lacie.

Playing in the fort…it seems that the only way to get boys to cooperate while taking a picture is to tell them to look serious. haha:)

playing with a pop bottle sprinkler! When we got tired of it hanging from the basket ball hoop, we took the Skid Loader, raised the bucket, and hung the sprinkler from that. It felt AMAZING!

Tuesday night, Jared, Lily, Cole, and Aubrey made a little quartet and sang us some songs. It was a lot of fun.

Come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***Tomorrow our summer schedule starts…and now it gets BUSY! Since I’m working 4 days a week, the blog posts may become more infrequent. But don’t worry! I won’t completely forget about you!

I’ll Never Forget

…last weekend! We had a wonderful time with Corey and Jodi Metzger. They are from Wichita and we been trying to get them up here. Well, they came! The kids had a lot of fun. They brought along a little girl that they were taking care of for the weekend. (respite care) She was an absolute doll. As you can see, no one wanted to look at the camera, just the baby:) It was the Sunday School weekend for their oldest son Harrison and Gabe’s class.

Isn’t she a doll? I don’t know how many hands held her in church, but she was showered in love, that’s for sure!

April 4-H Meetings(are the best!)

for two reasons!

1. My birthday is in April, so that means I get to pick a some candy out of the box!(disperse sarcasm throughout the end of that sentence)ha-ha:)

2. We get to skate at the roller skating rink!

Sycamore springs has been open for decades! it’s so old that my Grandma and Grandpa Meyer skated there as kids. In fact, that’s where they met!

Its always a lot of fun to go over there and skate. Here are some photos of our meeting and skating fun! also, it was my turn to do a demonstration.(not so fun:)
