Gammy, Winston & Easter!!

We have had some major happenings lately! We got concrete in the barn, Gammy came to visit and we celebrated her birthday, Winston joined the Barrett Circus and we celebrated EASTER! It's been busy but So. Much. Fun!!! I've taken lots of pictures so I'll just explain through those....


Sunday morning Rural King trip after church...toys & baby chicks and ducks





Concrete was put in the barn and the boys were in heaven with the cement mixer, dump truck and skid steer 


It turned out great and we can't wait to get our camper out here!



I wasn't feeling well for a couple days....my boys didn't leave my side


Getting ready before school selfie


Afternoon snuggles


Mellany's drawings constantly amaze us! 


Gammy came to town and first on the to-do list was celebrate her birthday!!! 


Picked up Mellany from school one afternoon and both boys ended up falling asleep. 


Next up on the to-do list while Gammy was in town: Surprise Ice Cream!! We picked Mellany up from school and surprised the kids with a trip to the Ice Cream shop.

Happy Tuesday! 



Introducing: Winston!

We got a puppy!!!!!!

The rest of the crew finally broke me down and we brought home our Mini Goldendoodle, "Winston", on April 19! He has been the absolute best puppy....he's picking up really quick on potty training, is super calm, independent and very compliant. I don't know that I've ever seen such a good puppy! I'm crossing my fingers and praying that this is his true temperament :)

The kids have adjusted so well and are loving having a puppy in the house. They are all really helpful when it comes to taking him outside, feeding him and just overall "monitoring" of where he is in the house. I'm also hoping and praying this continues!


Here are some pictures of our sweet little doodle!
