Canada with cousins

 At the end of March, the kids and I took a trip to Canada for 11 days! It was such a fun trip! We did all kinds of stuff! The boys loved baking cookies with Nana...





  
and eating Nana's cookie dough...



 Parker put a bunch of "swords" in his pants and said he was a ninja. We didn't have a ninja mask, so I made him one out of his pajamas :-)


Riding the tractor with Papa






 Papa let Parker drive the tractor ALL BY HIMSELF! He was ecstatic! This video is hilarious, because he took his job so serious. He was in little boy heaven! Thanks Papa!

A picture of the tracks he made :-)

After about a week or so, Jessica and her boys came up. They had a blast together. With 3 newly-potty-trained boys, it wasn't a rare occerance to find boys in their undies. I thought this was hilarious. I found all 4 boys out digging in the dirt in undies and boots (except Conner who was in his undies and socks). I wish I would have had them line up and pose, but these pictures are all in action.














After wearing themselves out in the yard, they all cuddled up to watch a movie together. I love how they always share one blanket :-)


Conner and Parker are the extreme farm boys--they are always found with Papa.



Papa had a heck of a time trying to drive a quad with 4 boys on there...



I think this is basically the only thing Alex ate the entire time they were there---APPLES!

One-by-one, each boy climbed on the couch to play a game with Conner on the iPad. Dez just had to see what was going on, too.

I had Nana buy carrots so the boys could feed them to the horses. Too bad only one horse would eat them. They all sure squealed as he ate each of their carrots.





My favorite picture--Parker's carrot being eaten :-)



















Wrestling match with Uncle Mike











Parker and Alex were little pals. Alex calls Parker almost every day now, and they talk for a while. It is adorable! I guess Alex told Jessica that Parks is his favorite friend....TOO CUTE!!!



We thought Dez would want to sit on the horse...definitely not. He wanted off fast!



 Once again, the farm boys---always wanting to ride horses. Even when it is FREEZING outside!


We had an absolute blast in Canada! Thanks Nana and Papa for having us, and for Mike, Julie, and JJ for making the trip up to see us! :-) We love you all!
