Easter and Miss Belle

We had a very busy and bless filled weekend! Easter was fun, with a great church service and a day spent with my family. Church service was amazing and entertaining, especially Mary who was holding her own conversation with Jesus, who was trying to help her be quiet she tells us! The day at the ranch was fun and family filled as always. Uncle James took them on a walk up on our ridge to "the fort" where he got talked into playing "castle." Oh what a good uncle indeed...always playing the king for them so that Sophie can be the queen, Gabe the guard and Mary either the Princess or Princess dog, depending on her mood. Sadly in my rush to get out the door by 7:45 Easter morning with four kids, a husband who under no circumstances could iron his own shirt, a bum calf and two dogs to feed, I forgot to take a picture of all the kids dressed up for church! O well maybe next year :)

Grandma and Papa gave the kids a bum calf this weekend, that we decided to name Belle. The kids have all assured me that yes they will feed her everyday. I can guarantee that they will but I am guessing probably not as enthusiastically as they are now in a few weeks when she is big enough to run them over when she sees her bottle coming!






Oh and Friday, the kids found a turkey in our yard, who they promptly named Mr. Wiggles. Mr. Wiggles is now thankfully in the neighbors barn and the kids are welcome to visit him anytime!
