So we've had a fun week.
I was able to go in and help with A's class on Wednesday. That was a lot of fun because I had grown flowers for their moms and I was able to help the class plant the flowers in their custom painted flower pots (the kids had painted them the day before). It was a lot of fun!!!
Baby E is making some big developmental steps. He has become very vocal and I swear his imitations of what we say are getting so good! I swear he said Daddy the other day.
And the girls report that while he was playing with them in their bedroom, he stood up from the ground by himself. That was earlier this week.
Yesterday they reported that he stood up by himself and then took a few steps when C held out her arms to him. And A reported that he did it again this morning.
Its neat for them to have this experience with him, but I can't help but be a bit jealous that I'm not the one experiencing this with him. But its neat that they can.
Baby E is also cutting teeth like crazy. He cut 2 teeth earlier this week, and it looks like 2 more are cutting right now. What fun! The exciting part though, is that he will have a total of 6 teeth at the ripe old age of 13 months.
A is now riding a 2 wheeler. C has been riding one for a few months now. I think I posted about that already. They are both doing well in school. A has her AR plaque and C is trying to get hers before the school year ends soon. C loves to read, she just hasn't been reading books that have AR tests.
And we got 2 new cows at the auction yesterday. I think the whole experience was a bit traumatic for them however. They have been jumpy and VERY wary of people ever since.
This morning we found that 1 of them had escaped by pushing through a portion of the fence. After chasing him on foot through the next street over, pastures and backyards that aren't ours and through a fence or two, he is finally back in a different pasture with the other new cow and our other 2 cows (or so we thought. Cue forbidding music).
When we went to find the other cows, behind the buildings (we thought) we found that they had gone for a little vacation. Yep, they were gone.
We started calling around to the neighbors and found out from one that they had seen 2 cows matching that description about 3 hours previous to our call. That freaked us out (see $1200 going down the drain along with countless complaints of damage we have to pay for). So hubby went out to search and on the way picked up a couple of boys from our ward. I also called a home teacher who had just moved a few weeks ago who has a couple of boys who would probably be up for the fun of catching cows.
Anyway after a tense hour of searching in the wrong direction, we found them just down the road munching on a pasture that wasn't ours. Hubby is in the process of catching/corralling them now. I can only hope that everything goes well. I'm stuck at home waiting with the kids.I really need to go check on the other cows soon to make sure they don't bolt again. That guy was literally bolting through fences.
Oh, and we went to the doctor on Thursday to find out the sex of the baby. It was all fun and exciting until the ultrasound tech started asking questions like "Now you've already had an ultrasound right?" and "Now WHEN was that ultrasound", and then the best statement of all "Well it looks like you will be having twins".
Yep Twins. Twin Boys to be precise. And we thought that chasing steer was crazy.
