Tummy Time

Spending time together chatting on our tummies!!! :)



At our house....

This year at our house adult birthday's are pretty low key!!  Scott turned 34 today!  Happy Birthday, hon!  After spending the day at the farm, Scott was greeted by many reminders of how much we love him and celebrate him!

 Soren signed his name on the driveway!

 Drew some birthday balloons!

 Officially greeting Daddy!

 Homemade cards!

 Red combine colored by Soren, "Because that's what Daddy drives!"

Apple picking-Round three

Today we got to go out to our farm and pick apples in preparation for making some much beloved applebutter!!  Soren has been able to pick with the Daniel family, the Schueler family and now with his family and hasn't grown tired of the fun of it!!!  It was a goregous late morning/afternoon to spend at the farm!

 You can see all the apples that fell due to the strong winds yesterday!

 Miss Kinley supervising!

 Of course, riding in the skidsteer is a must!!

 We were able to pick some tomatoes....also a favorite around here!

Diversified

It is not a surprise to any of you that Soren loves tractors!!  ALL kinds of tractors!  However, John Deere does such a great job of marketing to kids that *most* of his equipment/clothing is John Deere.  Well, the Newberg family happens to drive Case or red tractors!  So, it's a long standing debate (friendly, of course) that Soren is being converted to JD due to the availability of green kid things!!  Over the last 4 years one of my very generous co-workers (who has 4 grown boys and knows how boys love tractors) has given Soren many JD shirts and made numerous JD blankets, etc.  While we were in the hospital with Kinley, Scott gave her a hard time about not providing any Case items to Soren!  So yesterday, I saw her and she had made Soren 2 Case t-shirts and one very nice Case blanket (mostly, for Scott, tho)!  Therefore, Soren is now diversified in his options for clothing and snuggling!!



Apple Picking

Last week we were invited over to my friend Beths house to pick apples from their HONEYCRISP tree!!!  Soren thoroughly enjoyed the picking, the excitement of it, and bringing his wheelbarrow to haul away the apples!!  I thoroughly enjoyed the FRESH apples!  We love Honeycrisp apples at our house, but I didn't realize how much better they taste when they are just picked!!  Yummy!!
