I just can't seem to stop taking pictures of the wildflowers. This field is next door to the church. All the rain we got this spring has made them more beautiful than usual.

Day at the Farm
JD has been saying that he wants to live on a farm so we took him to spend a few hours at a genuine farm. 
He fed some cows. Fortunately, farmer John's cows are more like big dogs.
Sitting on a tractor is fun, but actually DRIVING a tractor. It doesn't get better than that.
OK -- it just got better. JD and dad did some fishing.
JD stopped to smell the flowers.
Success at last!
They were able to catch quite a few fish. Our day at the Wende farm was FABULOUS!!

Happy Easter
We've spent the weekend visiting the the Grandparents.
First, we stopped to smell the flowers at Grandma's house. The flowers all along the way made a beautiful drive.
The Easter Bunny stopped at our house and left DINOSAURS in JD's eggs. The Easter Bunny is SO SMART to know exactly what JD would like!
The Easter Bunny made a second stop at Grandpa's house. Dad and Uncle Andrew lined the boys up at the starting line to go hunt eggs.
WOW -- another egg!
JD got a whole bucket full of surprises.
Some of the eggs were confetti filled cascaronss. JD and his cousin Justin seemed to like cracking them on their own heads instead of going after anyone else.

Flowers and Bugs
For Good Friday JD and I headed out to the Wildflower center. I tried to explain to him that it was kind of like a flower museum and when we got there you weren't allowed to pick anything.
I didn't know how he would like it. I was afraid all we would find would be flowers.
And more flowers. The flowers were pretty but not exciting to little boys. Fortunately we found lots of things little boys DO like.
We climbed up this observation tower -- TWICE!! WOW - that was quite a quad workout.
We also dug in these flower pots filled with gravel to find the bugs.
JD made a new friend at the giant spider.
These giant ants were just a few of the many bug themed exhibits. What could make a little boy more happy than BUGS?!
Only one thing -- a trip to Old McDonald's. It was a very good Friday.

Thanks to my FABULOUS student teacher I was able to disappear from my school for a few minutes to help hunt Easter eggs at JD's school.
While the children waited for the Easter bunny to do his work they did the chicken dance.
Next, it was off for the hunt.
JD hunted his eggs at a more leisurely pace than some of the others. You can tell who has older brothers and sisters -- they are used to the competition and really hurried to get their fair share.
Finally it was back to the porch to count their prizes.

Cooking on Fire
JD has decided that it is fun to help dad cook with fire. Today his job was these hamburger patties. YUM!
Fun Day
JD is beginning to get the idea that Saturday is FUN day. When he wakes up on Saturday he asks, "is it a school day?" and then, "is it a church day?" and then jumps up and down at the response that it is Saturday.
For this week's fun day we went to see this dragon movie. The theater is at our favorite outdoor mall area where we can also pet dogs, play on a playground, shop and eat.
For some extra fun we died eggs in preparation for Easter. JD wanted to eat one at 10 last night when we were laying in bed trying to get to sleep. I told him he could have one for breakfast. He is going to be awfully disappointed when he finds out they are just plain old eggs on the inside.
