::the dairy farm::

Yesterday we went on another field trip with Chloe's preschool class. We got to go to the dairy farm and learn all about milkin' cows.

the cows

the smell

automatic milking machines

milk storage vats

bottle for the babies

the babies

the kids got to pet one (and, yep, mine wouldn't go near it)

as close as she'd get to the babies (and it still smelled)


watchin' the cows come out of the milkin' barn


headin' over to the stalls

a big "tracteh"

he didn't want to come back in the barn (it really smelled!)

of course they had to wear their boots!!

pew!!

cute little buddies :)
big thanks to Grandma Snowman for babysittin' Coopie so we could go on the field trip.
We love you ;)

::a busy weekend::

We had a busy busy weekend!

First, Cousin Josh's wedding reception.....

We're so glad we were able to go. Josh and Whitney looked beautiful, and it was so fun to see all the family.


Then, a race...
The Susan G. Komen Race for the cure. We (Me. Mom, & Kevin) ran the 5K (just over 3 miles). It took us just over a half hour and it was so fun.

Later, a [dinosaur] birthday party


There were dinosaurs, cake, ice cream, lots of fun presents, and family. Thanks so much for all the fun toys, Portie loves them all!!


And then,
Mother's Day...
We did our annual "Mother's Day Brunch." But this year we went to the Grand America for lunch and had some extra guests...Grandma and Grandpa Asay, Carrie and her boys, the Aaneruds, Taryn and Brady, and Cal. We're so glad they could all come. It was fun to talk and catch up after a year of not seeing eachother!! We've gotta get together more often!


And finally...

...I got a mother's day gift! Chloe and Porter planted some gerber daisies in a pot for me (with a little help from Dad). Isn't it cute?

::the great outdoors::

I'm not much of an outdoorsy girl (as most already know-haha), but Matt and I, and Jared and Sarah went for a 4 wheeler ride tonight. It was a muddy mess!! But still fun :)
Sorry for the picture quality, I forgot my camera so all I had was my phone.

They tried to get stuck...
...and almost succeeded!!


It's good to get out once in a while ;)
