Baby calf

Papa called to tell us a baby calf was about to be born so we all headed out!

We just missed the birth. The mama was just licking off the calf when we got out there!

Papa answered some questions from the kids! 

We love papa! He's the best & loves his grand babies! Today is even his birthday! Happy 61st birthday dad!

Mine svester & me!

Visiting the lambs at Ortmans!

It was rainy today, so we hauled all the littles over to Ortmans to see the baby lambs. 

The bigger kids hopped right in with the lambs.

Then we managed to get all the bigger kids in the pen with the babies. Anthony wasn't too sure about the lambs coming after him. 

These two are joined at the hip! Best cousins!  Love them together.

Prestyn LOVES the babies! He loves letting them suck on his fingers! 

Alex got brave & tried it too. These giggles were priceless....wish I could have captured it.

Hopey got brave & let them suck on her fingers too. She didn't like it as much as the boys. 

Aubbie even got a chance to see the lambs...actually she was small enough see sat on one!

She wasn't sure what to think!

"Mudding"

Charlie & I went out "mudding"! We didn't find a lot of mud, but we did find a lot of water.  Charlie went through some & got drenched. He said "at first it was really warm...then it got cold" I just laughed.

Have'n a blast!

I soon realized that a first....the water is very warm.... Then it is VERY cold! 

We were both drenched when we got done!

Farm kids!

We made it to the Bison Ranch! The kids are rather excited to spend a month at Papa & Grammies!

They are NOT, however excited about the constant rain! Boo hiss! 

Dancing in the rain!
