Nothing exciting....

has been going on. Well, that's not entirely true. We have been BUSY. Busy on the weekends, busy during the week, just busy. And the camera hasn't been very busy.  I did find some pictures on my phone though!


We stop by Jed's office almost every day after school....this is how we contain Jace in the warehouse! 


I think this Jace helping me make his birthday cake....


And this was him taste-testing the frosting...


And this was the final product.


The first 3 mushrooms we found at our house...


Helping me grocery shop..


This is almost a sad picture for me.  I was trying to get a picture of Kyler sleeping on the mattress, and Jace in the crib, from when we were afraid Jace would climb out of his crib.  The day this happened was close to the last time Jace slept in his crib.


Posing with the new semi, with Uncle Jay and Great-Grandpa George Johnson.


And, the air show.  The air show that we went and watched, and it was kind of neat.  Jace liked the planes, but he liked playing in Aunt Jennifer's car more.  He got really excited to see the stealth bomber...until it got close enough and was SO noisy.  And it went over us several times...so he spent a lot of time with his ears covered and with either me or Jed holding him.  He got really good at plugging his ears, and I think he liked it!

Summertime Preview

Jace was sick last week, and wasn't eating much, so one morning I said we could eat pancakes outside for breakfast, and he actually ate!  Of course, we had to keep an eye on the cows while we were out there.  Can you see them?  And of course Angus kept an eye on Jace.


It was warm enough last week to make a test run of one of my "pins" off of Pinterest.  Toys frozen in water on a 90 degree day?  I think so.


On Pinterst it said it would "keep them entertained for 2-3 hours!"  Well, we made it 10 minutes.


Angus sure enjoyed it though.


Oh, I love you Angi!



We will definately be doing more of this in the summer!

Hi Cows!

Uncle Jay put cows out in our pasture.  Jace tells me this several times a day.  And, we must look for the cows every time we go down the road.  And he must have his window rolled down so can tell all of them "Hi."  Every. Single. One.


Parents as Teachers sponsored a Block Fest last week.  Jace was timid at first, but got the hang of how to play with all the different types of blocks.


That's taller than you, Jace!


Surveying his work...


He liked looking through the different colored blocks...


This was his favorite station to knock down the blocks...and then stack them up again!


And we saw the cows again...this time we said, "Bye Cows!"

Turkey.

The first turkey has been killed at our house!  Uncle Derek and Jed went out last weekend, and it didn't take them long to get one!  Jace loved seeing it, but wasn't too keen on getting too close.



After some encouragement, he finally touched the feathers....before too long he will be out hunting too!

Easter, Part 2.

On 4 wheels.


Scary.  You would have thought they were bumper cars.


Colton really didn't want to share his ride.


And we found some fireworks!  Grandma got out the poppers for the kiddos to throw and step on.


This seems to be a traditional picture...


And another Easter egg hunt! 


Here's one!


Over here Kyler!


Getting the 3 of them to pause for a picture?  IM-possible.  This is as good as it got.

The things we see.

Jace and I were eating lunch outside over the weekend, and he had to point out an "air ane!" (Airplane).



Yep, that's an airplane.


We came inside and looked at wild turkey pictures on the "Ipad"...which Jace now asks for by name...

Hello?  Daddy?

Easter, Part 1.

It didn't take Jace long to catch onto the Easter Egg Hunt idea.  An Easter Egg "Hunt" in a John Deere sweatshirt, pajama pants, and camo mud boots?  I think so.


Found some good books and a new John Deere movie that the Easter Bunny left at our house!


Got Uncle Jay to help him at Grandma Janie and Grandpa Jerry's house.


And of course the dogs were right there helping him too!


Great-Grandma Erma and Great Grandpa George Johnson with Jace.  It's hard to get all 3 to focus at the same time.


Soon-to-be "Aunt" Morgan and Uncle Jay with Jace.


Grandma Janie and Grandpa Jerry Johnson with Jace and Angus of course.


Family of 3!


Happy Easter!
