Weekend at the Ranch

This week has been filled with more projects and a super fun weekend at our family cabin.

We love the Ranch. Swimming in April?? Yes please. The water is warm enough to swim in pretty much year round, but more comfortably so when it's warmer out :) Calum and Ailee were in heaven. At first Calum ran and jumped in and started panicking, then he realized he could float.

 Too bright! Ah, that's better.

 Ailee was really mad we made her get our of the pool.

Finding snakes. Sorry grandma.

 Eating treats

This is Ailee's brrrr face. She even fake shivers, it's hilarious.

Campfires

The fishing wasn't as great as it usually is but Calum didn't care. He loved fishing! I think he would have done it all day long if we let him. Plus we got to see some sweet fishes, including one that jumped around like crazy right by us. It was pretty fun.

What a cutie

These kids loooove Papa.

 Scarfing some food.

Calum and Ailee making rock piles, went well until Calum threw a rock at Ailee's head!!! 

Helping me build furniture. Haha.

Calum had so much fun with these kiddos. He was in heaven.

The Ranch tuckered us out. These kids would fall asleep within minutes after laying down. It was awesome.

However the road to the Ranch is pretty windy, poor Calum got carsick. So we had to pull over and take a breather. Luckily there were no incidents.

 We've been busy this week. Kevin has been tinkering with his dirt bike, trying to put new (15 year old) stickers on it. Our car stereo also hasn't been working so we got a new one and Kevin installed it. He went to bed at two last night! I finally feel like our house is put together enough that I now have a cleaning routine again and it feels so good! I also busted out my sewing machine this week for the first time in ages so that was fun, even if it was just to fix some pants :)

We've had lots of fun. I think Ailee's liking the water table. Haha. 

 Pretending to be babies...

Calum's a wild man. He's loving his bike and wants to ride it all the time.

Poor Calum decided to slide down this skate ramp and got slivers in his bum :( it was so sad.

Calum's been loving MarioKart on the Wii. He's been funny playing video games and Ailee loves to pretend to play. Haha.

Helping Mama plant her garden. I sat around and watched. They were loving it!

We babysat in the kids room at Kelli's gym. Ailee thought she was a baby apparently.

 More pictures of them eating. Haha.

This green gremlin. Look at those feet covered in glass clippings! And this girl was loving carrying this backpack around.

Calum has been so articulate lately and it cracks me up. He often says, "I do not know" and "No thank you." When did he get so big??
And Ailee's been picking up more and more words. Her favorites lately are shoe, bubbles and baby. She tries to sing "The ABC's" when she brushes her teeth, "Rock a Bye Baby" to her dollies, and  "Who's that baby" (a song I made up) to herself in the mirror. My favorite though is every time I pull a shirt over her head she says "Boo" really quietly and then laughs. So fun.

These funny monkeys are loving playing outside! Happy to have the warm weather. So glad spring is here!!
