Some fun pictures of Ben

Today is a catch up day for Ben. Here is what he has been up to recently:

He sat in a real high chair to celebrate Aunt Tori's bday

He has been enjoying his Easter gift

He has been getting some daddy love

and he's just been chilling on the couch

He has also been saying mama, but I don't have video yet. (he has had a cold and not doing as much talking the past couple days) He has also been trying to crawl, and I do have video of that:

Praise Ye the Lord

The Farm Comes to Town

My parents came to town over the weekend. Spence needed to get his garden planted so we needed some plants pulled up and the ground tilled. My parents brought up their tiller to help us out. They also spent some quality time with Zeke. All we have heard since then has been "Pawpaw truck" and "tilla". Zeke is enjoying watering the plants with Spence everyday. Hopefully in a couple weeks we will have corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, basil, oregano, and thyme.
Thanks Yaya and Pawpaw!!!!

Down on Paw Paw's Farm

For those that don't know a lot about me premarriage/babies/etc, you probably don't know that I was born and raised on a beef cattle farm. My dad actually has lived on the same land his entire life. The farm has changed quite a bit since I was little. It used to be tons of acres with lots of cows, goats, chickens, pigs, a donkey, turkeys, guineas, and even a couple peacocks. Now, stupid townhouses have moved next door, the cows, goats, turkeys, and guineas are gone. BUT there are still a few farm things and some new additions as well. We went to Whitsett a couple weeks ago and Zeke got his first farm tour.

My older brother has added bees to the farm, yummy honey

Zeke on Pawpaw's tractor. I can't wait to show him a real tractor!

My neices got chicks for Easter

Soon we will be getting our eggs from here and not the store

Aren't they cute!

This little piggy went to market

this little piggy stayed home

this one had roast beef, and this one had none

And this one went wee, wee, wee, all the way home!

Zeke totally would have petted these suckers if we had let him

My edits

OK, so I love black and white pictures. Of course I had to play with a few from the other day. Here are just a few of the ones I changed.

This one is called graduated black and white. I thought it looked really cool

Zeke is obsessed

Please notice that once again we have outtake pictures with balls...

"Pink ball"

"PINK BALL"

"Baseball"

I actually like this one, I think it looks all american
