This weekend Heather, Janae and Kiera came down to visit. While they were here we went to visit Great Grandpa Jones on his farm. When we got there the first thing the girls wanted to do was play on the swingset. It was cold but they didn't care at all.
One of the highlights of going to the farm was seeing the cows. When we first walked up to the gate the cows were several yards away. But they moved closer at Steve started calling to them. The girls were excited to see them coming.
Heather has been teaching Kiera animal sounds and she has mastered a few like dog, horse, duck and cat but has not quite figured out the sound for cow. While we were with the cows and trying to get Kiera to "moo" one of the cows "moo'd" back at us. Kiera thought that was really funny and even tried imitating the sound.
I'm sorry to say that I didn't get a picture of Janae actually feeding the cow. As you can see the cow had already started walking away by the time I got to the camera.
This video of Cooper was taken early in February. Of course we think he's the cutest and smartest grandson around.
On February 11th, Kevin celebrated his 21st birthday. I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone by. It seems like just a short time ago that he was a newborn in my arms. These pictures were taken when he was just a few days old. It was hard for me to put him down, I loved holding him so much. I'm glad I held him so much in those early months because by the time he was about 6 months old he wanted to be on his own to explore the world. From that time on I cherished every hug and kiss I got and I still do. One thing that I have really appreciated about Kevin is that he has always been very open about saying "I love you" to me from the time he first learned how to say the words.
I love you Kevin, Happy Birthday!
