Texan at heart

Check out Connor. He has embraced being a Texan!

My creative boys

Mom Mom got the boys Nerf guns for Valentine's Day. Our front door has a flower engraved on it. The boys decided to see who could hit the center. They were so cute.

Spring Fever!

Hey ya'll! It's been in the upper 70's low 80's the past 2 days! We have been outside enjoying the weather!! We have started helping Hunter practice for coach pitch baseball. That should start in April with games begining in May. We can't wait. For our baseball practice Brian was the pitcher, Connor and I were the catchers and Hunter was the batter. He also practiced throwing and catching. We played in the field in front of the house. Hunter hit some of the balls really far! Here are some pictures of the future Barth baseball team!

Busy!

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit, but we have been very busy! We have watched Makayla over night twice and had a blast! The boys love it when she comes over. Hunter is her protector and Connor likes to tell her what she can and cannot do. Brian, Pap, Granny and the boys started clearing out the trees (with thorns,etc) out of our front yard. It looks great!!! We also started to clean up the saddle we brought back from MD. I've also picked up a few extra shifts at work. Hunter is now reading at a 3rd grade level and is acing all addition/subtraction mad math. Connor is doing great in pre-school learning his colors and letters. Brian has been promoted and is now driving the big blue tractor to put hay out for the cows & horses. Here are some pictures of some of the happenings around here lately.

Calves

Our neighbors have been busy having calves. We now have 3 out running around in the field. They are super cute. The first cow to have her calf was Bessie. The boys (all 3) were super excited to watch the calf try and stand up. Here are some pics of Bessie and her calf.

Free Time

This week Hunter and Connor have had a lot of free time due to Hunter being home from having surgery. SO I went to Hobby Lobby and got them each something. Connor got crayons that have animal heads on top of them and a tractor coloring book. Hunter got a oragami set. He and I made a cat. The other items they have to make a very hard, mainly because they don't have directions just pictures with a lot of arrows. He is waiting for Mom Mom the oragami master to come down to help him. We do however keep trying and even made a canoe that almost looked like the picture.

Tonsils

Hunter had his tonsils out and a patch put on his right ear drum Monday morning. He did great! He has been drinking plenty of fluids and eating icecream. He even did some school work today (spelling). Here are some pictures. 2 were before and 1 was after. See if you can figure them out...
