Easter Holiday

We spent Easter with my (Amber's) family. It sure was fun. We actually spent over a week with them so Jesse could hunt. But alas! The closest thing to a dead turkey Jesse will get to this year is named Butterball. It wasn't for trying though. He went out in the woods twice a day every day. He saw lots of birds at one point, but happened to spook them since he accidentally walked through their nesting spot.

Anyways, the girls really enjoyed their Easter. Sydney couldn't get over the bubbles (so much joy for so little!), And has wanted to read "George" every night since (Thanks Nana & Papa!). Kiera only cared about the grass and eggs. She tried to eat them both. And I have to brag a little bit...I made the dresses and the shrugs! I couldn't find any matching dresses, since the girls have such different sizes. So i just whipped up something simple.

Later we went to Uncle Troy's and Aunt Mel's for Easter Dinner. After dinner we had the egg hunt followed by the traditional 4-wheeler rides! YAY! (yeah I know we're rednecks.......) This time, since there were so many of us, we got out the trailer and the 4-wheeler rides ended up being a hay ride (without the hay).

We love spring!

It's been a busy few weeks! We went ahead and moved the swings out to Nana's and Papa's.
Picked daffodils in Bluffton.


And got our seeds ready to plant in the garden. And we're steady going! This family refuses to slow down! (scroll down to see Pics of our gardening in action!)

S & K Farms

Here's our little Garden! Ok, so it's not so little. It's about 1/2 acre. We've just gotten everything planted. We're going to have corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, squash, butter beans, green beans, and WATERMELON!!! That's the best part, of course.

Here's our tractor. Syd will only ride with Mommy so far.

And this is what we do when it starts getting dark: Hang out in the back yard with Daddy.

We'll put up some more pictures as our crops grow!

Neglected!

There is no other word for it....My poor blog has been sadly neglected! In my defense we have been very busy, and hardly ever home. So here are some pics of what we've been doing the past few weeks:

Learning to sit up! Now Mom can sit me on the floor and let me play by myself so she can clean!


I've discovered how soft puppy-dogs are, and I LOVE THEM!!!!



Sydney's Trying more and more to be a good Big Sister. Including: Feeding Kiera, picking up all the toys and helping Mommy clean!

We've also been to Bluffton, and to Meme's farm and been sick for the majority of this past month! We're getting better though, and hopefully (if we slow down any) We'll get to blog more.
