what we've been up to...

fieldwork is in full swing.  jason has been working long hours and spending alot of time in the tractor.  which is nice, because he can usually take a kid or two along for a ride.  josie loves being in the tractor!  especially with her daddy.  i even ran the soil finisher!  so fun.  i love driving tractor, hee hee!  in this picture jason is plowing up the field which he later planted with barley and alfalfa.  this will make great hay for the cows!

i like cows.  i can relate to them.  i feel some sort of bonding thing happening, especially when i'm nursing.  i sometimes felt like a cow and all i was good for was milk.  and oh how i would have loved to have some huge super-power milking "parlor" where i could go and get some relief.  like i said...i can relate to my bovine sisters.  don't laugh...your day's coming sister!  this particular jersey took a liking to me and my camera and was posing.  isn't she cute!?  you should see her smile!

for mother's day we went to rochester to visit mada and jim.  grandma & grandpa were there too!  josie loves her great-grandpa willard.

we flew jim's kite.  it turned out to be a beautiful day.  they were predicting rain all day.  but luckily, they were wrong!

my grandma, me, and my mom.  the mothers.

honestly, i don't know how these pictures get into my camera.  josie eating breakfast.  nevermind the disaster behind her...it's totally normal.

the other morning i woke to find two strange cowboys and one sweet cowgirl in my living room.  they look pretty threatening don't they?

grandpa willard gave all of the grandkids (including me) a ride in jim's new lawn wagon.

sweet.

ok.  so i'm not good at putting these pictures in order.  oh well.
