Working with Dad!

Helping Dad drill grain this Spring has been a really fun experience for our whole family. We are fortunate to have a great little spot to call ours even if it does have to move all over all the time. The kids have enjoyed breaking the camper in and getting to know all the little gadgets. Their favorite part however, is just getting out to the fields to see their dad. They both enjoy getting their boots on and getting a little dirty.  My favorite part has been knowing Curt is safe and hopefully eating well. I have also enjoyed learning how to cook on a propane stove! While we go and stay with him we stay busy playing games, practicing counting and letters, running food in and out. The ussual!


Carter discovered boots and loves putting on everyone's, even if they're pink! He stomps around like he is the marshall or something.
 Hailee loves the bunkbeads and creating all kinds of forts with her piles of blankets. She also loves getting places that Carter is just too small to reach!
I'm sure there will be more on our working adventures soon! 
Hailee had her first talk in March and it was on Following the Prophets.
She was extremely excited and did an excellent job. It was funny while we practiced because she kept finishing the line instead of repeating it.
She was used to finishing the lines in books we read. In the end it worked out well and she figured it out!


Notice the Spring weather! Love that white stuff eh??


She is such a fun little personality and LOVES Primary. She does pretty well considering it is a pretty tiring time of the day.
We are so proud of our goofy gorgeous gal!
What a WINTER!
I'm telling you this has been such a great winter for our family! It made a world of a difference just being home on those blustery days along with the sun-glittered snow blue sky days. We were able to stay plenty busy going to Story Hour, Play Gym, and various other activities with friends.
The best part was that when Curt was able to be home we were able to spend some family time catching up. Mostly we stayed home and drank a lot of hot chocolate, made cookies, created master pieces, and watched movies.



 My crazy munchins are really great at creating all kinds of obstacles around the house. They are full of energy and full of fun. Currently they have reached a point of sibling friendship. They play all day together chasing eachother and playing with their numerous riding machines!






I didn't get to post very many sledding moments from this season, but trust me there were plenty! Hailee is a true outdoorsman. She loved putting on her bundles of snow gear and marching out with her sled. She found new hills all over the farm, some with better momentum than others. Carter is quick to follow her sister and was a real trooper. He waddled around the farm trying to keep up. Sometimes she had some pretty crazy ideas, but no one ever got seriously hurt!
Hailee even got to where she ventured up the big pond hill in front of our house. It is definately a trek, but she didn't seem to mind. I can only imagine the fun our kids will have as they grow up with a killer sled hill in their front yard!
