Equipment Time

We spent 45 minutes chasing kids from one piece of equipment to the next. They would have spent longer if we hadn't shooed them out. I think John could live there and be quite content.

Posers!

Most pictures were tough to get while the kids were having a blast. This one...well, it was exceptionally hard to get. As soon as Chris would get John's attention...well, you see Grace's face.

John was too excited to even try to stay still for this shot.

We tried to get just John with the big tractor...we had a little Vanna that wasn't going to be missed in the shot, though. ;)

And, our little Diva again. She was having fun posing. Do you think they'd sell more equipment with her as their model?

Mom and the Girls...

On the boy's day out! Actually, the girls enjoyed our John Deere Pavilion trip just as much as the boys. ;)

5-Year Anniversary

Chris has officially been with John Deere for five years now...and we've never been down to John Deere Pavilion in Moline. So, we took a family trip today. :) Pictures to come!

Done!

They wore themselves out! We went to a restaurant to eat some lunch and they were both GONE! Libby and Ganion rode with my aunt, and she said that Ganion was almost asleep...unfortunately, he made Libby his pillow and she said NO WAY and kept him awake. :)

Crazy Boy!

These are pictures of my (might as well call him) nephew, Ganion. He has LOTS of energy and is ALL boy. ;)

Grace and Her Friends

Grace was completely content to be with someone the whole time.

This is my cousin's son, Anthony. He worked REALLY well with Grace.

Cat Work: Sad but Funny

Being that our cats are outdoor cats, they are learning outdoor cat ways. So, the other day we found two special presents at our front door: a grasshopper and a teeny tiny shrew. I showed the shrew to Libby (hey, it was kind of cool...I've never seen a shrew before!) and she got reallly excited. So, she brought a clear container to put the little guy in and then wrote out a title for her presentation. Thus, Cat Work: Sad but Funny.
