Happy Birthday Marcus and Jenny

Our dear neighbors Betty and Kaitlyn were so kind to have a joint birthday party with Marcus and their neice Jenny. Marcus was born on Jenny's 4th birthday. So, for the last 2 years he's been known as the birthday baby. We spent the evening with them just celebrating birthdays and our friendship. I'm so thankful to know them and consider them my Colorado family.

To infinity and beyond! Marcus and Buzz Lightyear.

Happy Birthday Marcus and Jenny!!

More chicken fun


I was walking and taking a video so it's pretty wobbly. Sorry!

Running around with chickens

Petting a chicken

Zoe is a natural at gathering up her chickens.
She gracefully picked up this one and held it for the boys to pet. They were pretty impressed.

Splash Splash

Time with Aunt Amy

Aunt Amy came for a visit over the holiday weekend. It was so nice to see her. She wasn't here 10 minutes and Marcus was snuggled up in her lap. He loved getting to play with her this week.


Marcus and Amy playing with blocks in the back yard. Marcus has only one
goal with these blocks - the higher the better! Then they are more fun to knock down!





Soccer time!




The tongue is always wagging! We are trying to get
him to run without sticking his tongue out. Not working so far :)




Pool fun!



This pool is amazing! Amy gave it to Marcus last summer. But this is the first time we've been able to play in it. Well, around it, it was so cold that we didn't get in it too much.






Ahhhh the Ipad. What a wonderful creation. Marcus had it figured out pretty quick. Amy had some fun stuff loaded on it for him to enjoy. Grover has a pretty cool interactive book for Ipad. It was a hit.

Playing on the Tractor

Sunflower Farm

Marcus and I had a fun morning at Sunflower Farm. It has many fun things for little ones to play on. This rope ladder led him up to a pretty fun slide. I think this was his favorite area.

This horse swing was his least favorite.
Too bad, I thought it was kinda cute. 


Oh the chickens, there were soooo many chickens. 


The hay stacks



One of two very old dogs.  They both just layed around and let kids pet them.


This was a silo they made into a sand box.



One of four tractors.


This swing was hanging from a very tall tree. There was a real opportunity to swing very high.  But, I didn't push that hard. Let's have some time to get over one injury before moving on to the next one. 



He walked the plank! All by himself.




We visited the baby goat before we left.

Bye bye Sunflower Farm. See you again soon.
