Living Life

He was just too cute, I had to grab the camera and snap a few.

Addy giving lots of kisses.

Gavin was upset about something.

Then I told him to smile. Above was his response the first time.

The second time I asked he cracked a smile.

Then he was back to his craziness.

Here he is giving himself a back massage with his toy cars. This boy loves his back scratched.

Finally got Gunnar to crack a smile.

The boys were hard at work and loving helping daddy bring in wood. It was actually Axel that asked Daddy if they could. Looks like Gavin was working so hard he had to shed some layers!

Gunnar 2 months old

I have yet to get a good picture of him smiling and also hope to get a video of him talking. It seems the camera is never around when he really puts on a show and I'm usually so captivated that I just sit there staring, smiling and cooing back. These are after all the moments that make the long pregnancy and labor worth it.

Axel looks so grown up here. Some days this little boy sends me over the edge with his whining, teasing his siblings and acting like a baby. Then all the sudden he is acting all grown up by being really helpful without even being asked. He just sees whats needs to get done and he does it. This morning Addy came screaming over to me while I was nursing Gunnar because her hands were still sticky from breakfast. I said I'll help you soon I'm almost done. She continues to break down screaming and crying. Axel comes over and says, "come on Addy I'll help you wash up", and away they went.
Yesterday I picked the kids up at my parents. When it was time to go Axel put his shoes and coat on and then took all their suitcases to the car. Then he went to my mom's van and got all the car seats out and put them in our van. When I finally come out with Gunnar he was working on the last car seat and I said I can get it. He said, "no mom I got it."

Gunnar is 1 Month

Life has been busy blur lately. Can't believe the month went so fast. It always amazes me how much a baby changes and how quickly. He is now cooing and smiling. Next thing you know he'll be talking and walking.

Stop with the pictures already!

This girl loves her baby brother. She asks a million times a day to hold the baby.

Gavin took the above picture.

So cute! Love a content, sleeping baby.

Gunnar 2 Weeks Old

It's a Boy!!

I know this is a little late but thought maybe I should finally share the big news on here.

Gunnar Ray come into this world at 4:45am the 6th of Dec. He was 9lb 6oz and 21in long.

Below is the our midwife Joy weighing him.

Taking it all in.

Axel and Addy meeting their new brother.

Getting lots of kisses from everyone.

What Happens in the Pasture....

We are taking orders now for bacon cheese burgers……

Just Kidding.

Daisy our Milking Shorthorn apparently didn’t get bred the first time around and was displaying a little activity with our almost due Red Wattle sow Renae. We called the AI tech and he came out that night to breed her.

Never a dull moment on this farm.
