We celebrated Laton's and April's birthdays while we were there. 
Hey you have the same hair I do.
These are the fish the boys caught in the river.
Laton asked me to do a camera trick to make the fish look really big.
All of us after church on Sunday. We had a great lunch and then dad, Kyle and Logan went to play a round of golf.
Dad and Collette on Sunday- the day she was confirmed.
Notice the dogs get priority seating. :)
Meghan used to say that she loved grandpa "20" and he would say yes, how much is that and she would say that is a lot because that is the highest I can count. Dad and Collette tell each other that now and have it carved in one of the posts of the porch.
This is the one and only time I drove the Ranger. The kids begged me to take them for a wild ride. It is kind of hard to give them a wild ride when Jaidyn is with us. She loved sitting on the steering wheel.

How many people does it take to hold down a 200 pound calf??? Notice Logan is not helping at all.
I love how you can see Meghan in the background watching Logan and Jaidyn. This is on the front porch of the house.
Just a swinging! My dad had built this swing last time I came to visit. We enjoyed it this trip as well.
Cute Girl!
Meghan didn't have a hard time at all posing
Laton thought this was for the birds!!!

For our second leg of spring break we drove from Eric's house to my dads house in Missouri. This was another 4 1/2 hour drive. So we drove quite a lot to say the least! Luckily the drives were all very pretty. We would stop and try different restaurants along the way that we don't have out here. 
This is a picture of an old bird coop that is on the farm. I love the look of the wood.
Logan and Laton loved driving the Ranger around. They were hardly ever seen the entire trip. The Ranger was their best friend. At the top of this pic. you can see the top of the pond. It is a man made pond and I guess they "turn" every 7 years or so. The pond turned this year so all the catfish had died. The boys were bummed they couldn't fish. The pond did have frogs- or so we thought-! The boys wanted to go frogging one night so Collette being the good sport went along! She did take along her 410 for protection. The boys took pitchforks and pellet guns. They came home with a bucket full and were proud to show off their catch. My dad laughed as they had killed a bucket of toads not frogs. So we didn't have frog legs for dinner. Logan also had tried to "molly-hawk" a few ducks on the pond so Collette could taste duck, but had no luck! We did get to have fresh fish one day. My dad took the boys down to the river on Sat. and they caught a ton of croppy. We fried them up and enjoyed them for lunch!

Logan and Laton hung out while Collette fed the cows. Collette is raising a heifer to milk and a steer for beef this winter.

Great pictures of the kids...Meghan looks real country-ish with her pigtails. I love the one of all the kids.
So. This was a super fun post. Kris, Ty and I all enjoyed it together. Cute cute family. Loved the "making the fish look bigger" photo. Kris was laughing pretty hard. Been there!
