Traders Point Creamery Outing

Our MOPS outing to Traders Point Creamery for a tour of the farm and to milk the cows! Bella woke up saying, "I am ready to milk the cow!"

It was a raining, chilly, muddy...yucky day!! We made the best of it and bundled up for the tour. It was well worth it!
Here they are learning how they bottle the yogurt and milk. I was amazed at how much Bella took in about the process, because at dinner she was telling Tim exactly how they did it. Another interesting fact...all cows are born with horns not just males/bulls. Most farm cut them off when they are born but Traders Point is an organic farm and cutting horns off could cause infection. Then they'd have to give the cows antibiotics and in return the cow would not be "organic" after that.

They milk 50-80 of their 200 cows a twice a day.

Bella's turn to try it out, Lucy, the cow. Lucy was a trooper letting all these little ones milk her.

At the end of the tour we all got to enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate from the brown cow!!!hehe YUM!!!

Even a little wet, it was a great day on the farm!!!

Birthday Celebrations...

Grandma had a birthday on the 2nd and Papaw's was that day so we had everyone over for a steak dinner to celebrate!

As you can see the kids love celebrating any ones birthdays! Bella did her hair all by herself for the occasion!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, may you have a year full of many blessings, love and laughter!

We love you!

Saturday with Grammy J

Saturday we enjoyed the morning/afternoon with Grammy J. We started of with brunch at Good Morning MaMa's. Then we headed across the street to the Local Grown Gardens, a year round farmers mart. They have fun music coming from the building, a fire pit to enjoy freshly made bbq and lots of local organic items. We got some brussel sprouts, grapefruit, oranges and a warm sugar cream pie! We also shopped some cute shops in the area!

It was a beautiful day to spend together.

Ready for Warmer Weather...

Trying on her new bathing suit and ready for summer!!!

A girl can dream!

THANK YOU!!!

Friday I was in a big bind with Bella after school! Luckily Tiffany and Becky came to the rescue!!!

Apparently Bella enjoyed entertaining the 4 boys and moms too while she was there a few hours until Grammy J could pick her up. Above is one of the pictures Becky sent me, obvious that she is having fun, silly girl! We also got a hilarious video of her rockin' out while playing the keyboard!

THANK YOU for your help, Tiffany & Becky!!!

Stuck Birthday Boys!!!

Thursday we had a fun play group Birthday party for Hayden 4th and Bordy's 2nd birthdays! Becky had decorated in a fun Star Wars theme! The kids loved running around playing with each other and having pizza and cupcakes for the celebration!
