Austin 'giving away my snuggles'


Mackenzie so proud of her medal for soccer.

Turner brave enough to go inside and feed the goats.


Then Mackenzie got brave enough too.


"Hmmm mom, I though those bottles were for me."

We FINALLY made it to Grant's Farm this weekend!! Austin's first trip. We got there right in time for the animal show, then fed the goats, hit the elephant show and then it was time to leave.... Perfect. It is by far my favorite place to go with the kids, it's not too long, not too much of a commitment for the day, and cheap (well free, but pay to park). I do have to say though, i think this was the first time I've ever been there and not gotten my two free beers. Friday night we hung out with our neighbors and the vodka crept up on me. Then I was up at 6 to make breakfast and go to Mackenzie's soccer game - where she just happened to score 2 goals again! - and then we came home, changed the kiddos, and left. I wasn't feeling so great, so I laid back in my seat. Ended up having to have Aaron pull over on the side of the highway. It took some self control on Aaron's part I'm sure not get out the camera and get paybacks on me! LOL But we had a great time at Grant's farm, that place just puts you in a good mood no matter what. I almost started crying looking at the my life while we were there, you know when it just hits in you a wave sometimes and you think - wow I have a good life. I look at my beautiful kids, and a husband that loves me, and even though we have stressors, we've got it good - we do know that.


Today Mackenzie and I went to church, I came home and mowed the yard, and then went out searching for jobs again. Hopefully something will come through for the holiday season. Other than that just a half dozen loads of laundry and some "spring" cleaning and that was about it. Austin did start running a fever tonight, figures. I'm hoping that it is gone by morning and he will be ok to go to the babysitters.
