A quick trip...

From Collages

Yes, we did go on a trip. I lied...sorry..I couldn't in anyway spoil the surprise for Melanie! That's right she turned 40 this year, and we thought we would drive out to Michigan and surprise her. Well, sort of..for some reason she always finds out! It was a grand trip. While we where there it was very breezy and decent.Not so much back at home..haha..you guys had lots of snow! I know I shouldn't gloat but it was nice to miss at least one snowfall. As you can see by the pictures we had a grand time, and I highly recommend if you haven't seen Melanie and Ed in awhile...then you need to get your butts moving! It was a lovely....I was going to say a lovely trip but that wouldn't be true..because its boring! Driving straight through Canada is tedious. There is nothing to look at but the back of your eye lids. Unless, of course you are the driver. Which in this case was me,so I listened to everyone sleep while I drove. (( = I do have to say that I am so thankful that Mrs.Laskowski went with us. She made it super fun and interesting to say the least. I'll never go through customs now the same, and most likely pray that I get a women...(I can only tell the story in person so you'll have to ask me..)

Spring means new life...Here is some that appeared on the farm this week.

Great weather and a Happy Birthday...

I don't know about you but time flies by when you look at younger people.Aka my brother Denver who turned 10 on friday!! I can't believe it..it seems like yesterday my parents where on their way to sign the adoption papers...10 years flew by!! Hahaha...serioulsy.
So on Saturday we had a birthday party for him. Most of his cousins came over to play games,eat cakes,and open gifts. We couldn't have asked for a better day.It was in the 60's, sunny, and warm!! It was great. I'll be uploading pictures soon....

GOODBYE WINTER!!

Yippee!! Its the first day of Spring, and I thought I would show you some true signs around the farm that let us know summer is on its way....

Home,Home on the Range...

Hey,
Sorry I didn't update you when we got home. Yes, we are home and the chickens are running around free...everything here smells of spring! Its wonderful!!
Our trip home was uneventful just like we like it to be. We made wonderful time even with all the stops we had. We had one big stop in Ohio to pick up a truck for GOV. It is a Ford F-350 cab,full bed, and a diesel, so yea this thing was a beast of a truck! Megan didn't want to drive so Ted and I got to race to NY. Ok not really he got to follow behind to make sure we didn't do anything irrational. hahah...Anyway, we also stopped for lunch at this great mexican place, and then we had to stop for gas and lattes, and then gas again....We got in around 10:30pm. Ted and I both thought it was going to be later, but none of the troppers seemed to be in the mood to pull us over. Either that or their radar guns were off. Let me explain. We were driving through Buffalo when all of a sudden I noticed Ted wasn't behind us anymore. Just as I had that thought I looked in my mirror and saw a tropper.(I was doing at least 15 mph over the speed limit.) All this took place within like 40 sec. cause Megan's phone rang and it was Ted telling us that the tropper has been behind us for awhile....hmmm...he just wanted to get around us. That's it..not ticket just a slight wake up call to pay attention. Even Ted noticed when he was speeding home that they didn't pull out to pull him over. Yes, we are postive they gunned us at high speeds...it is a bit odd if you ask me, but I am very grateful! (( =
Now we are home back to the same routine as before. My next trip isn't planned till May, so hopefully we will do something worth taking a picture for!!
Hope your enjoying Spring cause the first offical day is friday!! Hooray!!!

Oh,My Aching Feet....

I have forgotten what it is like to stand on concrete all day long, so my feet are so tired and sore. Such is the price to pay for helping at a conference.(( = Our day was extremely busy selling books,tshirts,jewelry etc....Ted and I did get a quick brake, so we ran to Starbucks for everyone. Haha, hey! its totally a must when you don't get much sleep. Our day started early and it is now 11:17 pm (IL time), so it does make for a long day.
At this particular conference a music group called GoFish is here, and I really enjoy their music. They sing kids songs and their harmony is wonderful to hear!! I'm going to get Denver some CD's for his birthday...shhh! don't tell him. Anyway, they did a concert tonight so that was a nice brake to hear them! Even if they do sing kids songs. (( =
Ok...it was a long day like I said and if you have ever been to any kind of convention then you know that they are crazy busy..so Im going to say goodnight...
