Farm Fresh Fun

Okay...so I realized when I was done that the pictures are in reverse order and I'm too lazy to fix it so go from the bottom up :) This is the Kilgus Farmstead in Fairbury. We at for only .60 a person and the breakfast was great!!!! They were charging what the farmer would pay and then we got a tour. It was HOT and HUMID and at the end we had some very yummy farm fresh ice cream!!!!! The prices for all of their meats and milk products are great!!!!

The nice lady helf Kenzie up and told her how the ice cream is made.

Runaway

Chasing the kids around after breakfast

Par-tay at the D's

The daddy's switched kids because Rowdy attached to Chris.....he even whined when Kenzie sat on his lap because it was HIS lap for the night....looks like Chris has a new little buddy :)

Look carefully...it made me laugh...Jenni is at the bottom of the slide (feet sticking out) and Chad is at the top of the slide (foot sticking out) and Rowdy is somewhere in between them trying to like going down the slide.



Future Nascar driver...he loved this toy!!!

Makenzie climbed up there and sat like this...she loves her little brother :)

"hey, that driver cut us off.......go bump him and move him outta the way!!"

Kenzie made a new little friend at the park :)

Rowdy, Kenzie and the new little friend were all playing in the little cube.

Bathtime together!!!!

This is the first time EVER EVER EVER that Zach didn't even make a whining sound in the bath tub!!!! They actually played nicely and I can tell that Zach's gonna be a rough n tumble kind of kid...he's all over the place!!!!

I love the way the water looks in this picture.

Owies

There's a scrape up by my hand also...it looks way worse in person but she's looking great now!!

She loves helping me bring in the groceries and does a very good job but as she was following me she tripped right before the two little stairs that lead to the main sidewalk. Well, she flew over the stairs and landed face/neck first and her body caught up last. Poor little thing made a loud head crash (I actaully heard her head hit the ground) and skidded on her neck. She has a nasty scrape on her elbow, knee, neck, head and by her eye....and she only cried for about 2 minutes then came right back out to help...what a little trooper!!!!!

Stuff n things

Lego house that I built for a 13 year old...yes, I did it and it took me almost an hour!!!! Hey, we were entertaining ourselves while it was raining out and the two little ones were sleeping.

The inside has bunkbeds, master bed and a chair...and Kyla made a van...yes, we love legos :)

Kenzie loves climbing on Collin and annoying him :)

If you go WAY back on the postings you'll find a picture of Makenzie just like this and with a smile too...they both love flying in their car seat with daddy :)

Grandpa gave Kenzie lots of change to ride things....daddy picked this one and Kenzie thought it was broken when it started to move...she kept yelling "broken, broken"...cracked me up...next time let her pick daddy :)

Walking thru the mall.....so precious!!

Riding the boat on the Merry Go Round...she loved this one!!!!
