Spring days

We have had beautiful spring days and the boys have enjoyed playing outside and enjoying the fresh air. I can't wait until we have more outdoor toys for them to play with.

Man this little guy is handsome
I'm not really sure what Levi is running from but it appears he may have been running from Luke.
They love to fill their buckets with rocks and then pour them on my front porch. I appreciate it so much too...

Visit to the farmstead

A few weekends ago we went on an adventure to the Deanna Rose Childrens Farmstead in Overland Park. I found their website and it looked like fun so we loaded up the boys and left for the day. The farm had so much to do and the boys had a blast. There were horses, cows, goats, chickens, bunnies, ponies, prairie dogs, hay rides, baby goat feeding, and so much more. They only charge $2 a person to get in and then additional fees for goat feeding, hay rides, fishing ponds, and a few other activities. It was a fairly inexpensive but fun adventure.

Here is Luke feeding the baby goat a bottle. He thought it was so funny. He actually tried to drink the bottle himself a few times. Luckily I was able to stop him before it got to his mouth. Levi did a great job feeding the baby goat the bottle and loved doing it. He was bummed when the bottle was empty and it was time to move onto our next adventure.
The baby cows were so cute and the boys loved petting their backs and hearing them "moo"

Luke was "mooing" at the baby cows. There was also a chain of cowbells that you could hit and they would ring. The boys thought it was hillarious to make all the cowbells ring.
We had a great weekend and I look forward to visiting the farmstead many more times throughout the summer. There was so much we were unable to do because the boys were tired and getting fussy.

The last month has been crazy...

The past month has been filled with overnight trips to Springfield once a week for class. The majority of these have included taking the boys with and staying in Branson which adds 2 hours to our trip. I have 2 more weeks of this until Graduation. On top of being gone 2 whole days a week I have had tons of homework, housework, and sick kids. Both boys got a wicked 36 hour virus that included high fevers and aching bodies. They wanted mommy and only mommy. Then we all got pink eye and a nasty cold. I am finally getting on the tail end of my cold, and regaining energy. I always seem to get a nasty cold when I am pregnant and can't take anything to help during the day.

I am really hoping to get back in the swing of blogging this week. We have had a few weekend adventures when Ryan had the day off that I would love to share. If I can get into a good routine this blog will not be neglected any longer.
