Summer is near!

Shadow and Caitlyn have become good friends...She squeals in delight every time she sees him!

Wow! We just keep getting busier and the blog keeps getting neglected!

Last night was a daring first, we took both kids for their first trip to the theater to watch Shrek Ever After. They actually did fairly well, we thought Caitlyn would fall asleep, but it was too noisy in there so she was as busy as she could trying to keep herself awake...but was fairly quiet in the process and really didn't cry at all (which is very normal for her ). Christopher laughed a lot at the movie, got a little bored in the middle, but then was shaking his bootie at the end. I'm not sure if he really enjoyed it all that much, he really kinda said it was too noisy in there, and I think he would have rather been farming.

Christopher is busy doing all kinds of farming lately. He can't go more than a few hours without some type of farming! He has also been singing a few songs other than the Phineas and Ferb theme song! Yesterday it was He's got the whole world in his hands, and he sang it perfect! We also had him finger paint for the first time, and it was fairly successful, it helps though that he hates to have dirty hands!

Caitlyn is has gotten really big this past month! She is now army crawling, crawling a few steps, pulling herself up on furniture, standing for just a second or two on her own, and shaking her head no at appropriate times. She also has been eating a ton of new foods including watermelon, popcorn, spaghetti, hot dogs, and of course her favorite french fries. It's amazing to see how much she has changed. She also is getting a little longer hair, even though it's very thin, and she just popped her 3rd tooth this past week or two (it took a long while for it to come through!).

Ryan keeps saying every week that he is going to be done at the end of the week with all the planting, and each week he keeps getting more and more orders. He is out of seed in his barn though, and now has to run all over the place to get what he needs! Makes for some long days!

I keep busy at work, this past month I had several continuing education meetings in Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, and Des Moines. I should be done for the year now...thank goodness! We also are expecting that our new vehicle will arrive any day. We ordered it in March, so hopefully it will get here before the gas prices get too high!

We are looking forward to memorial day weekend, hopefully we can get a bonfire and some golfing in!
