Mom Says: Peyton, I am going to go get the bath ready for you, you NEED a bath

Peyton: Bath

Mom: C'mon, the water is running!

Peyton: Stuck, stuck

Mom: Really, are you stuck??

Peyton: Ready!!

I walk out of the bathroom, across the house to find her with her cap and shoes on, READY, to go, not for a bath! What a stinker.

She is so proud and ready to go.

Her shoe was stuck, she couldn't get it over her heel, after some stressful labor, she got it on.

This is her Dirt Flirt shirt her Daddy bought her in Louisville, KY at the pull.

We had an eventful, yet uneventful week this past week.

Tuesday was my 24 week appointment, the doc discovered something that caused worry about pre-term labor, so she threatened me with bedrest. The plus side to this, I got to do another ultrasound and see the little guy in there. He is doing good, growing so fast. End result of the doc visit, do nothing more laborious (is that a word?) than 2 loads of laundry at one time.

That limits a lot! You know how hard that is??!!

Wednesday I picked Peyton up from Daycare and Mom said, "you better take her in, it is getting worse" so we head back to the clinic, only to be turned away. They were packed due to pig flu panic. So I was there the next morning waiting for the doors to open, 3 in front of me, packed by the time I left. She got an anti-biotic and is getting better. Still has a cough but the fever is gone.

Now I have it!!

Friday! Yeah Friday! Cam tilled the garden for me.

I love that man!!

Planted potatoes, onions, green beans, carrots, beets, radishes, sweet peas, sweet corn, pumpkins, acorn squash, gourds, zucchini. I still have cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and more sweet corn to put in. I am going to give that a couple weeks before planting though. I would like to fit in peppers and cucumbers too, but I am running out of room and Cam even dug the garden bigger this year!! Yes, I promise, I took a break after digging the row, planting the row and moving to the next row. I took it easy. Promise!

Cam keeps good tabs on me to be sure I am not over-doing it.

So these flowers came up and bloomed over the weekend. I planted a bunch of Deep Purple Tulips and Iris' I got from the Conservatory at Como Park last spring. These must have been bonus, they certainly aren't tulips or Iris'.

You know what they are??

Cam worked his butt off all weekend, getting the flatbed on the bus, I will get pictures for you to see. He is working so hard right now, his Dad his helping him a ton.
He loves having his Dad there with him, those 2 make a good team.

Sunday I got to see my niece Brittany, I miss her, wish I could spend more time with her. She picked up a crib from my Mom for her new addition coming to the world in October. Yes, her boyfriend did the heavy lifting. Again, I was good, I promise.

Yesterday I chased Peyton with the camera between swinging and helping Daddy work on the bus. She has pig tails in, you can hardly tell, man she's got hair!

Bye! Bye!

Have a good week!

(Told you I chased her!!)

Somebody has been sleeping in my bed.......

..........so I will take the toy box.

After a hard morning of playing outside Peyton was ready for a nap. She usually will play a little bit after eating lunch and then go down for a nap. But Saturday the only playing with toys she did was to clean out some of that toy box so she could fit in there. She has her 2 blankies under her along with a layer of toys. The annoying part about this, she was laying on a toy that made noise, every time she moved just a little bit that darn thing would go on and on for 5 minutes and finally shut off.

Cam got carpet in the bus this weekend, along with the Bostrom drivers seat, couch, lazy boy and tool box. He worked hard all weekend getting the inside finished up, speakers, lighting and on and on. Now on to the flat bed and paint the whole thing. I will have to get an interior picture on here next time around.

We pull in River Falls the 16th of May, okay, that only gives us 2 weekends to get the pull truck and bus finished up. Happens every year, no matter how hard you try to be proactive, it always comes down to the last minute and mother nature's cooperation.

Looking for 2 more chairs to put in the bus, if you see any decent ones on garage sales, let me know!!

The young man in my tummy is kicking like crazy. You can feel him on the outside now (for the last couple weeks). I go in for the gestational diabetes test tomorrow morning, mmmmm, the yummy drink and hour wait. I can't believe how quickly time is passing.

The Bus II

Mmmm.....Cheeseburger and Apple Juice, hangin' out with Mom and Petie.

So I went to work on Friday, Cam had the day off. He was supposed to be working on the bus he sold to Joel and I get home to get ready for the Sugarland concert, here he was standing in HIS bus with the back half of the roof chopped off!

Sugarland was great! Billy Currington was good too, but he didn't look like he was having fun, so that kind of ruined it a little.

So, I didn't get a picture of the bus before he chopped it!! Ugh! Saturday morning I stepped out of the house with the camera and this is what I got.

Arrived home an hour later, this is what I got.

And then, within minutes.....

Peyton decided to deliver popcorn to Cam and Larry. They each got 1 piece!

She loves to help out in the garage. Here she is bouncing on a 4x8 sheet of steel.

Special Delivery

Jeg's delivered this cute little kid to us last week!

Saturday we went to the MN Zoo to see the farm babies, all sorts of special deliveries!

Peyton loved the baby pigs, chicks and calves.

She tried to climb up into this baby chick pen ~ I don't think the parents around me were happy, but we had fun!

Whoa!! That orange chicken makes loud noises!! (Rooster)

Leaning in to hear the next announcement from the Rooster.

"See Piggy's, See Piggy's" is all she would say as I took her away from them crying.

She tried climbing through the fence to get to the baby calves too.

Yes, there was a good 5 ft. gap between this fence and the calves pens.

She was able to pet one of the adult cows, she liked to play with that longer hair between the ears. Again, parents around me looked at me as though she was in danger or something.

Holy crap, get out of the city once!!

Didn't much care for the goats or lambs.

The Easter Bunny delivered a basket to her car, it had "Me Me's" in it (M&M's). She also got a book, stickers and a movie from us.

Thanks to both Grandma's, Gina and Aunt Holly too, they all spoil her.

Horsey rides on Aunt Holly!

Have a great week! I know I will, I am driving the Mustang! If it snows, I will be hiding from Cam, because he will say "I told you so"!

Can't wait to have dinner with a couple of my D&T friends tonight!

Wanna Kiss??

Leave her alone for 5 seconds while you put your shoes on.......this is what you get.

Hopefully getting her hair cut this week!

She and Petie waited outside for me while I put my shoes on.

Do you think she is like her Dad??

This is our front door, it is all glass, imagine the finger print and smudge possibilities!

I will be cleaning that window a lot this summer!!

Have a great week!

I am looking forward to Farm Babies at the MN Zoo this weekend and, of course, Easter Sunday!
