What we've been up to...

All week long the girls have been getting ready for our San Francisco friends to come visit this weekend. We made rooster, chick and egg cookies to decorate with Courtney and Lizzie!
This is our meatloaf/mashed potato cake for dinner tonight! Did we trick you? Grandma Shelly taught us how to make this!
We had sooooooooooooooo much fun learning to milk Buttercup. We each took a turn milking. In this picture, I'm holding her legs down, and the girls each have one side to milk. We felt like real farmers!
Just a sweet picture Dave took of our little guy sleeping.
Nate has lots of favorite activities these days. One is to help Ashlyn with her morning job of emptying the dishwasher. Nate takes out one piece of silverware, hands it to Ashlyn, and then Ashlyn puts it away. He is so happy when he's near the dishwasher.

Would you like a little vinyl to put on your "milking" pots? :)
