Highlights of Spring

As i said above, April was a busy month, but it was great. We drove to Calgary to pick up my parents from the airport. They were coming home from being in Israel for 3 months. We got to hang out, be in a snow storm and go to the zoo.  It was great.



 In May, we've started to get out in the yard and get some things planted. Our neighbours have been more than gracious letting us use their quads, harrowing tools, tractors, and truck and trailer. They are such a blessing.
 Brad and Isaac harrowing to get the ground ready for grass seed.
 Autumn now has two teeth on the bottom, one on the top as well as three more starting to poke their way through. She's been pretty content through teething, and no drool. (with Isaac I had to change bibs three times a day as well as his shirts)
 I'm so glad she likes to be outside with all of us!
 Brad's sister Lindsay and her boyfriend Kevin came out again to help us out in planting 26 spruce trees. Thanks to our great friends the Driedgers, we had no cost but fuel for these trees. Praise the Lord!

 This is Brad's nifty invention for watering the trees. Works pretty good.


All this time outside, and hard work tires a boy out!

Our shelter belt trees are starting to produce green stems, so i'll have to take some pictures of those trees too! Last night Brad and Isaac were on the tractor cultivating the area where our garden will go. Tomorrow morning we will plant the garden, and maybe even go to John Deere for their open house and buy a lawn tractor!!

A Busy April

We've had lot's of company this month, so it's been busy but great!

Brad's parents came first, it was a short visit, and we hope to see them again May Lond weekend.  Brad's dad helped put up the blinds, a mirror and we were all outside playing in the mud and trenching the ditches!

We even found time for a dance party!

Then Lindsay, her boyfriend Kevin, Dustin, Justine and Noah came to visit for Easter. Another short visit, but a lot of fun! we had the easter egg hunt outside, thankfully there wasn't too much mud.


 Isaac was having so much fun hunting for eggs, he didn't want to go inside to go potty. We look over and there's Isaac pants down going pee.  What a goof!
 Isaac found my bag for me!
 Then it was Autumn's birthday!
 What an adorable one year old!
 We didn't really eat the cake! I had mixed kool aid drink mix with the icing for the pink colour, but added way too  much kool aid mix....it was so sweet and sour you couldn't even put a candy in your mouth without wiping the icing off first!! Lesson learned.

 Happy Birthday Autumn
Then last weekend we went to Cochrane to pick dad and mom up from the airport, after being in Israel for three months....pictures to come!
