random happenings


It's been pretty cold and wet here this spring, which none of us love but we have seen quite a few rainbows and the boys think that is pretty cool.



We came home from school one afternoon and saw these Sandhill Crane in the field behind our house. Gage and Jett were very fascinated by them. I didn't even know what they were, they make a funny noise and Jett knew instantly what they were and started telling me all sorts of interesting facts about them he learned at school. Plowing and planting and fertilizing and whatever else that requires a tractor has been going on out here and Case loves tractors so whenever he hears or sees one he is either out on the front porch watching it go down the road or glued to the window like this. He has also figured out that the red ones have his name on them and tells us every time he sees one.



"Look mom, that tractor's named after me!"







We finally started working on our house, so we've had a couple of these. Probably not the last. The kids are very willing to help haul junk out of the house if they know they can throw it on the fire!




And walking the wheel lines.
