Kassi's Kindergarten teacher asked me to take some pictures on field trips to add to a class blog. Now that we have about 12 inches of snow on the ground, I thought it was time to take a minute and do that! So, after spending an hour or so doing that, I figured it was high time I take a minute to update our own blog! (The pictures I uploaded on the kindergarten blog aren't quite as biased as the pictures below!)
Waiting patiently for instructions and for the fun to begin!
Fun on the Hayride! (I don't remember details, only that it was a very chaotic morning trying to get the kids to school, Nate taken care of, and off to Hee Haws. I was very lucky to find an abandoned coat in the car from the weekend BYU football game because it was very windy and pretty chilly!) But, we had tons of fun on that blustery day!!!
We learned about how corn sneaks into everything from all types of food products to cosmetics, tires, and just about anything you can think of. :)
My cute little farmer. Grandpa McConkie would be proud! And, I'm sure he is!
Kassi is our 3rd child and exactly the same placement as I was growing up. I had a brother who was the oldest and an older sister, so I've always felt a special bond with her because of that. Her personality is quite different from mine, however. She is a "do it herself" type of gal. She taught herself how to ride a bike and swim pretty much all on her own. She even insists on learning to read on her own most of the time, so she has taught me a lot of patience :)! I love to see her working so hard to reach her goals, most of the time while she thinks no one else is watching. I know that her hard work and endurance will help her achieve many great things throughout her life and I'm so proud of her! I love her fun, spunky personality. She is always making us laugh and as long as she isn't woken up before her time, (which can be tricky because she is not one to want to go to bed) she is a very happy little girl and so much fun to be around!!!
She would have been happy doing this for hours!
And maybe a little bit of this over and over again as well!
The kids loved the chickens,
the sheep,
the pigs and brand new baby piglets,
the goats (looks like we are just a tad early for the baby goatlings :)
Kassi is pointing to the pregnant goat above and laughing. I hope she doesn't do that to pregnant women in the future :)!
Kassi with her amazing teacher, Ann Bigelow. Ann has helped both of my girls to love school and learning and I could never possibly repay her for the amazing influence she has had on my children! God bless good teachers!!!
The mother pig :)
My cute little farmer girl again! Why can I imagine this girl married to a rancher and horseback riding every day? Maybe it is just images of her on the horse tire swing or riding ponies at Thanksgiving Point? I don't think a horse would dare throw this girl :)!
To my surprise, she loved the pumpkins with the "warts". This girl is always full of surprises!
Kassi LOVES all of her friends at school and after the 2nd day of school, she had made lots of cute little friends. But, since I was there, she was attached to me the whole time! I kind of liked it :)!
Group Picture!
The kids (like mine) who don't typically ride a bus LOVE getting to ride on the bus for their field trips. Kassi even chose riding on a fun school bus with all of her friends over riding back to the school with me! I guess I'll forgive her. So thankful I could join my sweet Kassi for her school field trip to Hee Haw Farms!
