Fall

By
There is no better time to visit a farm.  Since we moved we were not able to go to the best farm ever this fall so we headed out to another in our area.
The day started with apple picking.  
Nicholas really wanted to eat the apples while we were picking but they had to be weighed first.  He'd been spoiled all his life at his Grandma and Grandpa's farm (best farm ever) with unlimited fruit and veggies without the bother of weighing and paying.


Our next stop was the pumpkin patch to pick a few pumpkins.
The kitchen at the farm was closed so we headed out to look for food.  Less than a mile away we were surprised with this...
Luck was with me as Ryan just happens to be one of the fastest tire changers around.  We avoided starvation by eating a few apples while we tried to find a place to get new tires.  On the drive Nicolas was eating an apple and LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!  Hooray for apples!  We finally found a place that could fit us in before closing and had the tires we needed.  It worked out pretty well because now getting new tires has been checked off my list.  One thing down, thousands more to go.

Yea for loosing first teeth! Why do you need new tires on your van? Is your van going to be shipped over to Belgium for you? Love the pictures.

Springtime with Grandma L.

We were so happy to have Grandma come and visit this Spring.  Even more exciting was that she was able to stay for Easter!!!  I love having family visit for holidays! Some of the thing we did during her short stay: We went to the International Festival at the kids school where we ate food from many different countries.  It was delicious.  The girls decided to stay at the festival while we took Nicholas to the Embassy Easter Egg hunt in the snow. Although it doesn't look cold, I lost feeling in my extremities.  It was freezing.  Because of the weather a lot fewer people showed up than expected so the amount of eggs to collect rose from the original amount of 12 to however many could fit in the basket. We visited Keukenhoff in Holland to see the beautiful flowers.  While we did see beautiful flowers, most of them were indoors as it has been a very cold spring.   Flower Fashion Outside the crocus' were blooming and the...

Making dreams come true...

...one tree at a time. Poor little trees. You know the ones. Not quite pretty enough for the cherished Christmas tree. Standing all alone in the forest. Or maybe not standing alone, but so close to the perfect tree next to them that only one side is presentable. Wishing, hoping, wanting for someone to come along who recognizes them for what they are on the inside. Who cares that the branches are too scrawny to hold lights up? We try to help the less glamorous trees every year. It makes them feel good. And this year's tree was perfect for the kids to decorate all by themselves. I helped by picking out the lightest ornaments so the tree would not topple over. I know you're all jealous. It makes a great conversation piece and causes laughter for all who come to our house. If you would like a house full of jolly company next year, think of the trees. Make one happy. You can even keep most of the decorations in the box.

Temple Trip

Lindsay went to the temple for the first time and since the temple closest to us is in The Netherlands and we would be gone for a long time we took the little guy with us.  I miss the days when I had family and friends willing to take an extra kid for the day but he was a champ and waited in the waiting room by himself for hours.  It won't be long before he's old enough to go inside with us.  They grow up so fast.
