 EASTER
This Easter we had the older kids, (Matti, Kael, & Kylan) hide the eggs for the little ones.  They had a blast but were concerned that they wouldn't get a shot at finding eggs.



Oh, but we had different plans :)  We blindfolded them, then made them dig through a tub full of sawdust!  We hid golfballs in it and told them for every golfball they found, they had to give us a treat!  They were good sports and had a good time.


HOUSE
So, one of the reasons things have been WILD around here is because we are adding on to our home.  I dont want to reveal to much yet but here is one wall!!!  (Because boys outnumber girls around here!!)  Go Aggies!!


The mud room sink instructions said "five adults needed for installation".  Ummmm . . . YA!  A few more wouldn't have hurt either!  We turned the existing patio into a mud room so now we have a place to hose off before coming into the house.  I will post real pictures, I promise!


SHOW
3 weeks ago we had a the Cache Co. 4-H Show.  Trey and Kase were able to show in the Pee-Wee class.  Trey showed Nike and Kase showed Addison.  They are having fun naming our registered heifers.  My favorite still has to be Soggy Waffles (Kase's steer).



Matti waiting patiently to show.


Awwww . . .  great mommy moment!  They are actually getting along :)


Kael all ready to show!


HOUSE . . . again (because I am not a perfectionist today and I don't care what order things are in!)
 I've been dying to show you a picture of my new kitchen!!  It's about 850 sq.ft. and quite spacious!  It is so big, it seems like the appliances aren't even in the same room!  The floor is easy to maintain and I can even spray it down with the hose if I want!  If I had a complaint it would be the dust, but perhaps that is because we are still wrapping up construction.  The lighting isn't the best but what do you expect with such a large spacious room!!  So here it is . . . my new kitchen!


Sorry if you were expecting something else.  My fridge died about 3 weeks ago so the appliance company was nice enough to bring me one to get by but they didn't want to install it anywhere.  So they plugged it into the garage.  Oh.  My.  Hell.  You should all stop right now and be thankful for a working fridge in your kitchen!!  Here is some useless information for you:  It takes two loads from the fridge to make a sandwich.  At least three loads for breakfast, depending on what you  make, and I have lost count on the trips for the rest of the day.  Keep in mind, what comes out, must go back so you have to make that many trips back to the fridge!!  Wednesday baby Wednesday!!!! and I should have a fridge in my kitchen again!!!!! 

I have to end on a sweet note:)  Here is precious little Kaisley (newest member of the Platt family!)  Oh she is so cute and tiny!  She makes Stock look like a 2 year old!  It took a lot of work to get her here and healthy but we did it!!  So happy she is healthy and I am so happy for Warren, Randi, and their family :)  Love!
