April 2013 bbq at friends farm!

Wow... so behind as usual... going to try and go thru some pics and upload them here so that I can keep memories of my babies alive!!!!!

This is Dylan's butt ... hahaha.... We had a bbq at our friends Kristen and Kyle's farm... Dylan was fascinated by the tiny little serama chickens they have! So he climbed right into the chicken tractor with them!

Marlee getting ready to eat at the bbq! woot woot!!!!

Our friend Kristen with the yummy food for the bbq!!!!

Our friend Kyle taking Dylan and Keith for a ride on the ranger around the farm!!

Girls turn on the ranger!!!!

We really enjoyed our time at the farm... it is relaxing and the kids love to play and explore. They have a big pond and Dylan and Keith and Kyle found a big turtle!

Bike Crash!!!

I am still trying to throw a regular blog post in here now and then.....
Today Dylan had his first bike wreck. It was awful!!! He landed on his FACE!!!!
Poor baby!!! He stood up spitting gravel out of his mouth!! My neighbor ( whose house he crashed right in front of) came running out of her door, I came running down the street... we had friends over to play and she was trying to round up all the little kids and get bikes out of the street... as I was getting Dylan inside, my youngest Sydney ( the very onery one) decided to sneak off on her bike and I caught her almost to the main road... just as my sister in law and brother in law were turning in to deliver a tire for my husband!!! AAAAHHHH!!! CHAOS!!!!
Well, Dylan is ok now, but he may have a scar on his eyebrow... I told him most BMX bikers have battle scars.. he thought that was ok. His cheek has road rash, his elbow is busted up and his knee is too... Poor little man. He's so brave though. No tears, just almost passed out !!!!! Yikes!!!
Its hard being a momma. But I know that bike wrecks happen, so we just have to stay calm and deal with it :)
I love my babies :)

Beautiful Day :)

Finally! It is nice outside!! Spent the morning cleaning up winter garbage around the yard.. while the kids rode their bikes and jumped on the trampoline! What a great way to start my day! This afternoon I will be working in the strawberry "patch" getting it ready.. we already have little strawberry plants coming up and I need to get alot of work done in it and get ready to plant the new plants!! :) Im a happy girl when I can play outside!!!
Does anyone have any good tips for storing outdoor toys like skateboards and baseball bats, etc???
Love, JL
