Papa by Kyler

I should have posted this yesterday since it was daddy's Retirement and Birthday. (I'm really behind and just realized I haven't posted since Valentine's Day.)

If you can't read the pictures they say:

Papa

by Kyler

My person is Papa.  He is my grandpa. We like to play games, take care of the cows, and rides the 4 wheeler together. He's funny. My Grandpa is my family and he is a cow boy.  I feel happy when I am with Papa.

Meet Barner the robot

Kyler had an assignment to build a robot.  He had to name it and answer a couple questions about it.

It had to have a body, head, eyes, mouth, and a control panel.  Extra credit was given for additional body parts.  We used those sticky stretchy hands for hands, red cups for legs, bottle caps for eyes and on/ off buttons, wrapping paper tubes for his jets, and pipe cleaner for an antenna.

O ya - we had red ribbon streamers coming out of the jets.

The three adjectives that describe my robot:

Fast

long arms

good catcher

Three things my robot likes to do:

play football

he likes to read books

run

Three things my robot likes to do for me:

Take care of my animals

do my chores

do my homework

I love my robot because:

he plays with me

7 Years ago...

Well, I know where I was 7 years ago - do you know where you were?

I was at Poudre Valley Hospital welcoming our surprise child into the world.  Seven years ago I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have 3 kids!  Now, we can't imagine life without the little squirt.  Well, ok, on occasion Steve and I do wonder what it would be like without any kids.  We are of course very thankful and happy to have the 3 brats, I mean wonderful children we do have.

OK - About Kyler. He is growing and is a great little boy.  He loves animals and is my little Farmer Jones.  He wants to do anything and everything his older brother does.  He loves the football, especially the Oregon Ducks. He loves baseball - specifically the Rockies.

Here are some pics and captions... (baby pics are here:)

Birthday Present

Steve and I gave him Skylanders for the Wii U early (last week).  MaKenna and Jake surprised him with 2 new Skylander action figures this morning.  I really don't know much about the game, but he was sure happy to get it.

Birthday Dinner

 One of my favorite traditions growing up was picking my birthday dinner.  Grandma would always make "Favorite meat", mashed potatoes, and "Favorite Gravy".  Kyler's go to meal is Chicken Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and broccoli. He had already eaten the broccoli by the time I got my camera.

Birthday Cake

For his birthday cake he wanted a football.  We made the inside camo looking.  I would post a picture of it but you wouldn't be able to see it (since its camo).

This morning Kyler said this WAS. THE. BEST. BIRTHDAY. EV-ER! It snowed last night - just for him.

Happy Birthday little buddy!
