Baby Animals

This past weekend we took Blake to the Amish Pancake Breakfast, which seems to be turning into a tradition these past few years. Our friends, Kyle and Stephanie, and their two lovies, Hadley and Piper, also joined us. Blake loved the pancakes and sausage! We decided to add to that tradition by driving over to Govins Lamb Farm near Menomonie, Wisconsin to see the lambs, chicks, and piglets that were just born. By far Blake's favorite of the baby animals were the chicks. He loved holding them! While we were there we even got to witness the birth of one of the lambs! It was amazing! Hopefully this will be the start of another spring tradition!

From the Mouth of Blake

About a week ago Blake was watching Randy start a fire in our wood stove. Blake picked up a small piece of wood, but it slipped out of his hand and landed on his big toe! OUCH! Here is what happened according to Blake.

If Looks Could . . .

I asked Blake to smile for the camera the other night while taking a bath. He didn't really want to and this was the look that he gave me! We'll try again next time!

Blake's Bus

We saw a neat idea for making a bus out of a shoebox. I asked Blake if he wanted to make one and he said yes. Here is the bus that we came up with.

Giddy Up!

The other day Blake decided to get on the rocking horse that Papa Ron made for him. He sure had fun rocking away!

One Picture?

Randy went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico this past week for a work trip. Blake and I stayed home because it is just getting too close to my due date to take a trip out of the country. Believe me, I really wanted to go, but I didn't want to take any chances. Blake and I had fun hanging out while dad was gone. Randy's friend Kyle joined him in Mexico to hang out for a few days. While Randy was there this was the one and only picture that he took!! Can you believe it? Apparently Kyle snapped a lot of photos and is going to share them with us! Thanks, Kyle!

Couch Jumping

If "Couch Jumping" were an Olympic event, Blake would win a gold medal! He decided to put the couch cushions on the floor and jump, jump, jump! The activities we come up with to get through the winter amuse me! Sorry for the footage being sideways, I always forget that I need to hold the camera straight when I am taking video.

10 Weeks to Go!

I can't believe that Baby Risler #2 will be here in about 10 weeks! I have already started the 'nesting' process by moving Blake into the other room and into his 'big boy' bed! He has adjusted fairly well, and hopefully will be really used to it once the baby is here. He likes to show visitors his new room and his new bed! He now refers to his old room as the baby's room.
