just another Monday evening.





Grant is in the field today planting soybeans. Here's a little of what my evening entailed...

Someone got a little dirty. So...



we went down to the creek.



Simon jumped in!




And swam around.





Then we headed home.





Where he then got a bath. Which he did not like at all.


But at least he's clean now!




Then we went and watched the kittens playing in the barn.




A great evening in the WIND. See our hammock for proof:

tornadoes

Yesterday Grant went storm chasing with Derek and a friend who works for the National Weather Service. They didn't see much, but did see a small tornado in Oklahoma. See the picture below. As I'm writing this, they are out chasing storms today, as it's CrAzY weather in Kansas and Oklahoma this afternoon. Hope there aren't too many tornadoes!

Nugget update

Not too many more of these pictures to take! With the June 19 due date, I'm 35.5 weeks. I realized that June 19 is Father's Day. How cool! Anyway, one more month until the due date. Any guesses when she'll actually be born? :)



Can you tell I'm getting more excited?



P.S. Scroll down to see pictures of the nursery.

LOTS of hair bows!


cute piggy bank.


handy built in changing station. we'll put wood blinds on the window. made the curtains, alphabet print, and changing pad cover (thanks for the help, Mom!). Also, we put up the shelf for the shoes.


crib with bumper pads (made by Grammy, my mom), and my quilt!



mobile I made. probably going to change it a bit, but I like it.


wall decor. going to hang the first letter of her name above the quote, and put a picture of the three of us in the left frame. Thanks Mom for the wonderful wall!


My mom drew and we painted the tree and owls. I love it! Makayla loves the "little chair" (as she calls it). So perfect for little ones!


The cute shoes on the shoe shelf. I love shoes!

finished quilt!

I finally got the binding done on the baby quilt I made! Thanks Nana, for showing me how to do it. It's certainly not perfect, but I like it. Not a huge quilt, but fun to know the quilting process and have something that I made for our little girl! (Hope she likes it...)
