Family

This month we have had lots of fun and hope that you all have too.  We know that the weather hasn't been the nicest here in Wisconsin, but we tried to make the most of it.  Looking forward to a little warmer temps, but we are all good with what ever comes our way.  As long as we can be together as a family, what difference does it matter.

Jayden's Nature Ranger class this month was all about Maple Syrup.  We learned a little about their adopt a bucket program, decorated a bucket and took a hike out to the Sugar bush.  The other kids in the picture are a family that we usually share a table with.

Here is Jayden drilling into the Maple tree so when it warms up, the sap should run.

Quiz time...how many gallons of sap does it take to make 1 gallon of syrup?  40 gallons.  Jayden is enjoying some syrup on ice cream.  What a wonderful and yummy treat after the big hike.

Time for some fun at the farm.  We went sledding on the hills and enjoyed it greatly.

Jayden found a kitty and actually was able to pick this one up.  He loves to look in the barn for all the kitties.

Oh yes, I did talk my mom into going sledding with Jayden.  Guess you can still act like a kid even if you have a mile stone birthday around the corner.

Jayden showing Grant the lady bugs he found on the window.  Lets just say that the lady bugs don't have a chance around Grant.  I'm sure Jayden will be showing more bugs and critters to come.

We were able to go as a family to the Shrine Circus.  Jeff and Jayden never have gone so it was a lot of fun.

When the lights are out.

The elephants...one of the favorite parts of the show for all of us.

On my weekend to work, Jeff took Jayden to a storm chasers class.  They were on TV and Jayden thinks he is famous now!

We had Grant over for a sleep over and loved it!  Here are the boys snuggling in and getting cozy.

Perfect snack for St. Patrick's Day!

A project for the kids at school.  They had a lot of fun!

Jayden wanted to help us paint the kitchen and he was loving it!

 

Here are few pictures of our new kitchen...still in the works yet.

Grant and Me hanging out.

Until next time,

Jeff, Heather and Jayden
