Mitchell's Kindergarten Graduation

Mitchell and his kindergarten teacher!

Mitchell's so proud!

Mitchell and I!

Tonight we had Mitchell's Kindergarten graduation! He was so excited about it and couldn't wait for everyone to see him graduate! Elden managed to sneak away from the fields to come and watch Mitchell graduate. Elden's whole family came and so did my mom, so we were thankful they were all able to come! Here are some pictures and video's of his graduation!

Tulip Time

A few weeks ago we ended up going to Tulip time! It was a bueatiful weekend for it, so we were thankful for the good weather, but there sure was alot of people. We ended up going on Friday naight with my parents, sister and her husband and their kids. Then on Saturday we went with Elden's sister's and mom. We had a good time, Mitchell thought he was too hot to wear his shirt though. The tulips were goregeous this year as you can see from the pictures!

Four Wheeling!

A few weeks ago we got Mitchell a newer four wheeler that was a little bigger! He was so excited b/c it was red, had a hitch on the back and could go reverse. I can't even tell you how many times he has gone in circles around the pasture! Connor is doing pretty good with Mitchell's old four wheeler, alittle harder on it than Mitchell was, but that is to be expected with Connor. Here's a few pictures of the boys riding their toys!

Planting

We have a busy day surrounded by one theme...planting. This morning the boys got to watch Papa Van Zee come and till up the garden for us to plant and after that the kids got to ride with their daddy in the planter for a couple hours! They had so much fun; I'm sure Mitchell asked a million questions like he always does. This afternoon, we decided to plant our first vegtable garden! The boys were so excited to plant everything, Mitchell enjoyed it very much and it will be fun to watch him get excited when it starts to grow. We decided to plant sweet corn, potatoes, sugar snap peas and green beans. Mitchell also wanted to plant some watermelon as well in a different patch so he's excited to have watermellon this summer too ! We had fun labeling our sticks and putting them in the right places and also making rows (even though they weren't very straight) with our hoes! We have a rule that they have to help weed it once a week or they can't ride their four wheelers, so we'll see if they keep up on their side of the bargain! Mitchell told me that I wasn't allowed to put any flowers in his garden, imagine that! I'll keep you posted with the progress of our new vegtable garden!
