Got me some peaches

Took my parents and Grant to get some peaches down at Schnepf Farms this morning.  It was really fun.  Grant loved picking them off the trees.  He also loved looking at the reindeer with Grandpa.  Now I think I'll just sit around all day (or at least during nap time) and eat fresh peaches!

I just love those lips peeking out from under his hat!

The farm will have peaches all weekend.  Are you going to go?  You should.

Peach Fest

This past weekend we headed out to Schnepf Farms for their annual peach festival.  I've wanted to go for a few years now, but this year I actually remembered it and put it on my calendar.  We did have a fun day, but we had a very important birthday party to go to for our Nephew, that we didn't want to miss, so we ended up leaving without peaches.  Silly, I know, but fortunately they still have some peaches that you can go down and pick this weekend.

Notes for next year:

• Get to the farm right when it opens.
• Pick peaches first.  It takes a good bit of time to ride the hay ride out to the peach trees, pick the peaches, stand in line to pay for them, then stand in line to ride back.
• If there's a long line for the yummy peach pancake breakfast, skip it and just get lunch from the short line.
• Wear a hat.

The hay ride to the peach trees.  We rode out there and came right back.
Grant loved to ride on  a trailer behind a tractor.

Grant & Keith went to play in a fun kids area while I waited in line for our breakfast.

I would love to find this picture

The Garden of Eden by Stanley Galli

I love this picture, but I cannot find it for sale ANYWHERE!  It was featured in the Jan 2006 Ensign.  I like the kind of modern look to it, even though the guy that painted it was born in 1912.  

He did lots of other art like this.

It's not like it's a popular piece, but has anyone else ever seen it anywhere?  It would look so good in a nice white frame in my future kitchen....someday.

Do you have your list?

Do you have an emergency contact list?  I just made mine today.  I've been meaning to do this for years, but today was the day that I actually took the time, and it really wasn't hard.  

I needed a list that I could keep in a convenient spot.  Something for our quick reference, but also important to have for when a babysitter is here.  It's just a brief list, but I wouldn't want to have to go find these phone numbers should I need them.

Here's what I put on my list:

Emergency Fire/Police (911- we better know this one already, right?!)

Poison Help Line

Non-Emergency Fire

Non-Emergency Police

Electric Company

Internet Company (not really an emergency thing, but I wanted quick access to it)

Grant's Doctor

Our Doctor

My OBGYN

Keith's Cell Phone

My Cell Phone

Our parents Cell Phones

Our Bishop

Our Address

Our Health Insurance info

I feel much better having this done and put up in one of my cabinets.  I'm sure our list will change as the years go by.  Someday we'll be adding our kids school phone numbers and who knows what else!

Watering the plants.  What a great helper!

Where's Grant? 

Oh, there he is!

My Sweet Boy

I had been saving all of my dolls and stuffed animals from growing up.  I thought I'd want to show them to my kids.  Well I changed my mind and in an effort to get rid of stuff that's not even being used, I got rid of almost all of them about a month or so ago.  I kept this cabbage patch kid because she's in good shape and she has a cute bottle that goes with her.  I gave her to Grant so he can practice taking care of a baby.  He's so cute with her.  And don't worry, he totally still plays with all of his boy toys.  In fact he hardly ever plays with the doll, but when he does he's so gentle.  It's adorable.  Here he is when he was sick last week.  He took care of the doll and even tried taking her temperature.  What a sweet boy I have!
