I wish for 3 sisters!

My friends Ella, Addie, and Audrey came to visit from Iowa. I wish I had 3 sisters! We had soo much fun. First we went strawberry picking. We picked about 19 pounds of strawberries and no one came home clean.








Addie is showing me how to take the green top off so I can eat the whole strawberry in one bite.














I quickly figured out how to pick my own and eat my own!











We did lots of fun things! Like play on the outside climbers, go in the bounce house, cook lunch, and finally go fishing with daddy. Ella and Addie are very good fisherwomen and I have a lot to learn from them! Come back again any time - please !!

I need one of these.

And farmers have the best toys!

Farmer for the day

Farmer's always start out with a huge breakfast!












And they invite lots of friends.




The chickens are always friendly and smell just fine.









And calves are always clean enough to pet. I hope my daddy let's me be a farmer!

Heat index over 100!

To start the day Grandma Mary brought homegrown strawberries. I can offical get 5 at a time. 2 in each hand and one in my mouth!













Daddy had the great idea of cooling off in the hot springs . . . I mean Mississippi River.















Look at his barge parked right at home, doesn't get any better then this.










Look what has attacking me. Actually minnows were biting us AND we had little leeches on us! It was worth it though.

She's even smiling as the calf licks her hand! We had a wonderful day at the farm. It was spring on the farm with chickens, horses and 1 week-old calves, puppies and kittens. I'll get pics up later.

Keeping up with the Joneses. . . grass!

Did I tell you about all the nice grass around my house!



















So I am already in training for lawn mowing work. Here we are testing out that my hearing protection works. Wait I must be able to hear something since I couldn't stop laughing!
















And here we are showing off the cool walkway up around the house. See all the grass.











My feet just don't touch the pedals, so we are all ready to go!!!

Grandma's blooming garden and my new house!

Grandma's garden is just starting to bloom, this is when I like it best. Not many weeds or bugs!

















Plants are hard to climb on, so a couple of garden chairs work great!

















My new house! Don't mind mom's car. Isn't it nice! It is like living in the mountains with a Mississippi River view.










To make it more family friendly a couple of walls, doors, windows and kitchens need to be reworked. Check out where the oven is and those yellow countertops!

It is a very nice well built house that just needs a kitchen update.

As you can see there is more then enough room for visitors and handymen.
