More April stuff...

My mom and I took the boys and my niece Shelby to the MV Street Fair this year. It was fun to walk around and eat some yummy treats which included, for Shelby & Ryan, white chocolate covered strawberries with sprinkles on them! Very fun, but awefully spendy if you ask me- like $5 for 5 strawberries on a stick! I told the kids that we could make those ourselves... so later that week we did! Here's our creations and boy were they GOOD!!!

Time to start farmin' again! Ryan was thrilled to get to chop grass with his dad for the first time this spring!
A few weekends ago our new swingset/playset arrived to be put together! It took Jeff, my brother and Jeff's brother all afternoon to put it together, but they got it done and it's great! They actually put it together in our shop and then used the forklift to bring it out in parts to put all the way together. That really tall guy would be my brother Greg who was having my nephews, Caleb & Cade, hammer something from the inside. They loved getting to help a little!

Greg, Jeff & bro-in-law, Cass (the engineer!) working on the final details to get it all ready to go for the kiddos to use... and boy were they anxiously awaiting!

Uncle Steve was sending the younger kiddos on 'parts runs' to the shop for them. Everyone got to help!

Thankful for all the guys' hard work who helped! Later that evening we had a bbq with Jeff's brother & his family and his sister and her family who were visiting from out of town!

A good, productive day!
