Cows, and Pigs, and Chickens, and Things

We had our annual preschool walking field trip to the high school district barns this week.  It was exciting to see, feed, and pet all the great farm animals.  Xavier and Maeve had a terrific time!  Xavier loves everything about preschool.  We are so blessed for him to have such wonderful experiences with good friends and enthusiastic teachers.  Yea preschool!


Make sure you check Xavier out in the background of this picture.  He's the little boy bent over in exhilaration wearing the dark blue jacket.  That pretty much sums up the excitement of farm trip field day.  :)

 Maeve made sure to touch at least one pig, cow, and turkey nose.  We couldn't quite reach the sheep and goat noses because they weren't that interested in sniffing our cute little girl, but that didn't stop her from waving at them.  She waved "Hello" to every single animal we saw in the district barn.  It was really cute to see how excited she was to meet all of her new animal friends. 

Xavier was so inspired by our trip to the barn he thought he would try out being a cowboy. His first and last job was to try to wrangle the most stubborn animals of all, his little sister.  Yee-Ha Cowboy!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
