Da Ranch

It is always a good time when we go to the ranch!!
We fed the horses apples-




Dia put make-up on the girls-
We found a toad (at night in PJs)-

And of course we went on an adventure on the four wheelers!
Arthur and McArtney, and Mark
The girls ventured the in the back until it started to rain.
Jens loved it, but got tired at the end.We also did cleaning projects, but I forgot to take before and after pictures.

The week run down

So I have been good all week about blogging!! Here is a rundown of the happenings:

Sunday:

Mark and MJ made newspaper hats. MJ loved it-- loved it so much she carried around newspaper all day (not the hat, the newspaper). I went to a . . . memory gathering for my moms friend Willard. He had been in the hospital for a while from complications of a brain tumor. The gathering was at a bar.

Monday:

My super cool cousins had an extra ticket to go to the shark reef. It was pretty cool. Pretty small- and I am glad I didn't have to pay for it. Jens was asleep for most of it. MJ had fun being there with her cousins. I thought she would be a bit more excited about the sharks and crocs because she loves them, but not so much.

Here is what is really interesting about the picture- MJ is 3. There are only 2 kids younger than her in this picture. Yep. The oldest one next to her is 8.

Tuesday:

We are in swimming lessons again. This time Jens and I are doing a class.

MJ thinks her barbie needs to go to lessons too. Except the barbie has lost her swimming suit so she is naked.

One of the best parts of lessons is the nap Jens takes after.

Wednesday:

I would like to think MJ is a princess, but DIVA is more suiting.
She slept with these gloves not once, but twice this week.

Thursday:

MJ has figured out the letter M, and for the first time she has written one- legibly all by her self.

Friday:

My Grandma Kathryn and Grandpa Bob came to visit. Bob and MJ worked on a clock they brought.

Can you see any problems with the first placement?
And of course while I was adjusting the clock, Jens figured out how to stand up.
Cute huh?
