Typical Tuesdays

I should have posted this yesterday but like normal...I forgot. At lest I have more pictures today.

We were all sick quite a lot this last week. 

 Rainy days call for working inside. I would have liked to curl up with hot coffee and a book but instead I made ice tea in my Rudolph cup and washed dishes. 

Dishes with Rudolph! :)

If you haven't noticed humility does funny things to my hair...

 The apricot tree never produces fruit but it always blossoms beautifully. 

 I cracked this egg and instead for breaking the shell just peeled off. 

 Lexi turned one on Sunday. We went over to Daniel and Trina's to celebrate her. More about that coming later.  

 I made chocolate chip cookies and this is my amazing stack of them. I was trying to prove I could get them all on the plate. 

 Fruit salad has become a favorite in our house. I have always liked it but we never ate it. Now there isn't as many mouths to feed we eat it more often. 

Happy Tuesday um I mean Wednesday. :)

Until next time.

April Rain

"April showers bring May flowers" is true statement in Nebraska. The last week has been deary and rainy. I love rain so I don't mind it much. Today it has been particularly rainy. 

John rain inside saying "There are bullets falling from the sky" I laughed and then went to look. Sure enough it was hailing. But just baby hail stones as you can see.

I spent the morning with Dad cutting wood so when I got home the house was in need of a good cleaning. Why not listen to great music while you clean? (PS You should listen to this song. It is amazing)

 When I went outside so check the mail the rain, which had turned into hail, was now snow and still is. I am not a huge fan of snow so I walked around saying "I thought it was spring time" I forgot, it almost always snows at some point in April. Wow Nebraska weather! 

Got the mail!! I was very wet and rather cold. 

I hope this short post made up for the epic fail of the post before! :) Until next time!

Typical Tuesdays!

Well as you can see by this single picture I am not doing that good of a job with this Typical Tuesday thing. My week was very full I just didn't think to take pictures of it's fullness. If fullness is even a thing. My week held Easter, family time, lots of cleaning, taking care of my nieces and nephew, welcoming pre-mature baby lambs into this rainy world, dancing in the rain and not taking pictures of any of it. I do apologize for the major lack of pictures. One of the greatest downers on not having a good camera, you can't take good pictures. Spring is upon us so there are many beautiful flowers that are just waiting for their picture to be taken. All my Easter pictures are on my sisters camera so hopefully I will get them later this week.
To my embarrassment this is the end of the post. See you next week!

Typical Tuesday!

Technically should have blogged this yesterday but I didn't have the idea until today. 

I decided I would blog more since I never blog. To motivate me to do that I am starting something called Typical Tuesday! Since we don't do a lot of big things together I thought I would post as many pictures of the small things we did during the week. I just thought of this two minutes ago so I don't have very many exciting pictures. But I guess if I am going to do this faithfully, I need to take more pictures! :)  

 I couldn't help but blog this one. Hillary posted on Instagram and I had to save it to our computer.

 I have the privilege of babysitting Lexi and her big brother a lot. They are quite a handful but a cute handful! :)

 Rosie is figuring out how to use photo editors to make multiples of herself. As you can see she is getting rather good at it! 

Hopefully this post made you smile! And I plan on posting again next Tuesday or maybe sooner. 

Happy Birthday Rosie (Just a Bit Late)

Rosie's 11th birthday was on the 17th and I forgot to post about it!! She had a great birthday and got a typewriter, which she REALLY wanted! 

Happy birthday dear girl!!! Love you

Ice Skating

This blog post should have been posted months ago but I totally forgot I had gotten pictures of the event. Quit a few months ago we went to Fremont to go ice skating. It was for a school field trip so we brought our teacher, Laura, along. All of us have skating of one kind or another in our blood but Laura doesn't. We had her skating without any help by the end of the day. She is great!

 Ready to roll!

 Beautiful Laura. She is honestly the best ever!!!

 Rosie was all smiles. She loves the ice and being on it. She was out on the rink for all of the three hours we were there. 

 John is still learning but he was out there with no help.  

 The three of us!

 This is our school. Aren't we cute?!

 Me. I love the ice to. I got the whole rink to my self for a few minutes at the end which was awesome. I'm not supper good, like Rosie, but I love it.

On the way home our amazing teacher treated us to ice cream.

Sorry it has taken me so long to blog about this. It really did happen in like October. I really did forget that we had pictures. So I hope y'all enjoyed this very LATE blog post! :) 

Little Blessings From God

January and February are lambing months. I am taking care of the sheep this year so I am experiencing it first hand. This last week we have lost four and have eight still alive. So we have had a total of 12 lambs this week. 

 This little beauty had a hard time surviving. She was one of a three batch and she got rather forgotten. We have her in the kitchen as I write. She is very social and lively now. 

 This is our oldest lamb. He is four days old and growing as we speak.

 These are the other two out of the triplet batch. Mama seems to love them more. These three were born this morning by the way. :)

 These to cuties were also born this morning. They have great mom so I am sure they will do well

 These two had a sister when they were born but unfortunately she died yesterday, only about a half a hour after birth.

I tell you lambing season is like getting a little birthday present everyday.These presents just need a lot of attention.
