We had a very different week this past week. We started off the week with car problems. Both mine and Travis' cars needed work. My car took priority as I was planning a trip to BeBe and Papa's at the end of the week.

My car was in the shop Monday and Tuesday and we put Travis's in in Tuesday also. Wednesday we had JumpStart at Midland so we took daddy to work and then I took the kids out to breakfast. Daddy went into work a bit later than usual so we didn't have to get up that early. The kids did well at breakfast and we finished just in time for JumpStart. The theme this time was exercise wellness. They completed the time with yummy healthy snacks.

We were home just for a couple of hours and headed out to pick up dad so he could watch the kids while I had a dentist appointment. Wow! What a busy day.

Thursday morning we dropped daddy off at work and headed out for BeBe and Papa's house. As usual, the kids were excellent travelers. We stopped twice the entire way and made it in 9 1/2 hours. Samantha didn't take a nap the entire way but Blake took a decent one. We ran into about a mile stretch of nasty roads but thankfully that was it.

The kids were so hyper when we arrived and ran around to get some of that energy out. They were happy to see BeBe, Papa and their cat Walter.

Friday I took the kids out to see the new baby turkeys. I made the kids take off their boots and Blake wasn't a big fan of the shavings on his feet. Samantha loved the entire experience. She loved picking up the turkeys, holding them and playing with them. Blake didn't like the feel of their feet on his hand.

Sabbath we went and visited my Grandma at her house. The kids enjoyed the visit and seeing the birds at her facility.

Sunday we found us out the turkey shed again. I helped my dad with a bit of chores and the kids played in the barn.

This afternoon we did a bit of sledding on the farm. Blake ended up back the house after just a couple of minutes but Samantha enjoyed going down the great hill and then being pulled behind the four-wheeler.

We're looking forward to the coming week on the farm
