Sleepover, Smores with Grandma & Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa had a "Grandkids Sleepover" with smores. The kids had a great time.

We are coming to Utah for a visit!

Yeah! We are so excited to be coming home to Utah for a visit. We will get there May 30. Chris will fly back to Missouri June 4 because he has to work and has to take care of the farm. The kids and I will be staying until June 20. We are so excited to see all our family and friends! My 6 month pregnant belly is not excited but we miss everyone terribly so I know it will be worth it! Just for your information, we still have 5 bunnies and 4 kittens, if anyone is interested in one please let me know as soon as possible, we will try to give them away this week so claim yours quick. We have 4 black and white kittens, all of them are 8 weeks old. 2 of them are normal size and 2 are very small for their age. We have 2 white bunnies, 1 black, 1 brown, and 1 grey. They are about 8 weeks old and can live indoors or outdoors. Ours are all outside all of the time. The kids have lots of fun with them.

Adam's Baptism

Adam was baptised and confirmed on March 22nd. It was a great day. Every thing went very well. We were happy to have my parents there to share the day. Adam's cousin, Isabella was also there at the baptism. With Adam's permission, here is his journal entry on the day of his baptism: "Today is a very important day of my life. Today is important because I was baptized. I was baptized on my Grandpa Thomas' birthday and today is the day before Easter Sunday. I was also baptized with my good friend, Hyrum. The bishop said he thinks we were the first two 8 year olds that got baptized at the same time in this ward. I am really comforted now that I have the Holy Ghost. When I grow up, I want to help other people with their baptism. P.S. I didn't hold my nose."

Our cute bunnies! They all lived!

Our bunnies were born March 21st, there were 5 of them. We were careful not to touch them until they grew older. The mother rabbit has done very well feeding and caring for them. They are 3 weeks old now and are chubby and have lots of fur. They are so adorable. I am not much of a fan of bunnies but these are so cute! The kids absolutely love playing with them. They are so soft and cuddly. If you are interested in having one of these bunnies they will be ready to be weaned the end of May. We are coming to Utah and we will bring a bunny to anyone who wants one. Just let us know.

Our new baby kittens!

Whispers, our cat, had 5 kittens on March 24th, they are just over 2 weeks old. They are all black and white. Some have blue eyes. The kids love to hold and love them. If you are interested in having any of these kittens let us know and we will bring one to you the end of May when we are in Utah.

Nana's calf is here!!!

It was like Christmas this morning! We woke up to a new baby girl calf! We were all so excited to see her, especially the kids. Nana had her during the night so we all missed the delivery. We named Nana's calf, Isabella, after our niece who is currently visiting from Utah. She is excited to have a cow named after her. Our rabbit also had her babies during the night. We were unable to get a picture of them today because Mother Rabbit covered them in straw and her fur to keep them warm. We also did not want to disturb her bunnies very much because last time it turned tragic and none of her babies survived. We are hoping and praying that she will take care of them this time, so we are keeping our distance from them.

We finally got Nana, our milk cow!

Last Saturday, we picked up our latest addition to the farm, Nana. She is the main reason we are here. We have waited a long time for her. Nana is 5 years old and is big pregnant. She is due to have her calf within the next 1-3 weeks. We are so excited! In fact we have a lot of exciting news to report on the farm. Spring is almost here and we are going to have baby animals! Our cow is pregnant, our rabbit is pregnant and our cat is pregnant. So it will be exciting to have new little life here on the farm. I hope to witness their births, if I'm so lucky. The kids are all very excited as well.
