Happy Birthday, Daddy!

4/21/2010... We celebrated Keith's 32nd birthday by doing a little yard work. Just the way he wanted! He got a new fertilizer spreader for the lawn so the boys had to try it out. Chloe wasn't going to just sit by mom and watch... she had to get in on the action too.

Her first lawn mower ride. She didn't even flinch when I put the big ear muffs on. It was like she knew she had to wear them to get a ride.

Jared's called this "bailing hay".

"Where are the guys?"

There they are.

Like father, like son.

Keeping an eye on the mower at all times.

Jared's first solo ride. Don't worry... it was just idling and no blades running.

SO proud!

Fun on the farm

4/18/2010... More playing with my camera at the farm. The kids were having fun playing outside so I got a few more fun shots. I have taken an enormous amount of pictures with my new camera... love it!!!

Grandpa should like this one...

Hmmm... debating if this needs a taste test.

She'd rather play with the dirt and sticks...

Lily & Jared

They look so serious.

Chloe, Ava & Alec

Oooh...

4/18/2010... I wanted to play with my new camera so I put Chloe in the wagon at the farm and got a few fun shots. Her new thing is to do the "Ooooh" thing with her mouth. What a little ham.

SO big!

Swingin'

4/17/2010... It was a beautiful day so we decided to stop at Harman Park and play for a bit before we took lunch over to Keith. He was planting corn at the Helget farm that we rent (near Hanska).

Chloe loves to swing... she giggles and giggles!

This one cracks me up because of those 2 big teeth!

Jared looking handsome as ever.

Nicollet County Sheriff

I found a Sheriff shirt for Jared knowing that he would like it but he really cracked us up this morning when he came bouncing into the kitchen stating that he was a "Nicollet County Sheriff". He is NOT a morning person so this was a nice change!

We were waiting at the farm to help Keith move machinery so Jared got the Gator out. Chloe took off with her arm in the air squawking like "hey... pick me up!" Too cute. She even scolds him if he stops for too long.
