Grandma's House Day 3

The 3rd day began with Church at my mom's ward.

Which she loved!  Riley got to go in Grandma's

Primary class even though she teaches older

kids.  Owen loved nursery and had no problem

going.  There were only 2 kids and one nursery.

Totally opposite of our ward.

Paige and Sierra went in the same class which

helped them be more comfortable. 

After Church we took it easy and then for 

dinner we grilled up some steaks.

Brandon was in charge of grilling but got

interrupted to help Michael find his frisbee

Sierra threw over the fence into the field

with the cows.  Earlier the electric fence

was not turned on but Grandpa turned it on

and Brandon was not aware. He was one

foot over the fence when it gave him a good

shock and he jumped twisting his ankle and

falling backwards catching his pants and skin

on the barb wire fence.  I'm sure it hurt bad

but I would have paid to see that.  

In the mean time I came out to check out

how the grilling was going to realize the grill

was a loner and Brandon was no where to

be found.  Two minutes later he comes

out of the bushes limping.  

And to make matters worse he ripped

his new shorts.  I hate it when that happens!

(getting shocked, rolling my ankle, getting caught

on a fence and ripping my pants all in a few seconds) 

Anyway he survived and the ankle swelled a bit

but after a few weeks felt better. 

After a good laugh and a yummy dinner we were

off to feed the lazy calf again.  Paige and Owen

got their turn this time while Grandpa helped

the calf learn to suck.   My kids realized a little

of the hard work farmers have to put in each day. 

 We did not make it back to the house and got stuck for

a while at the huge rope swing in Grandpa's mom's house. 

The hope was so long that when Brandon pushed them

they went so high.  I even gave it a turn.  Lots of fun! 

Riley was a bit scared at first but after everyone went

she tried it and then did not want to get off.  

Riley is just one that does things on her own time.

The rest of us just need to learn to be patient.  

Me especially! 

 Michael had to time it just right to catch up to Skyla

swinging to push her higher.  Michael did his back

flip out of the swing.  Of course he would try 

something daring. 

The kids took every chance they could get on the
four wheelers specially if Grandpa was driving.

 After a wonderful Sabbath day with our family

we settled in together to eat Grandma's home made

Apple Pie that Paige helped make with Ice Cream.

I even tried some and loved it.  I'm typically not

a pie fan. 

And to end the night with a laugh Owen picked up a 

song that we've heard a few times in the car driving

and was singing it all week end.  And he only 

sang the chorus over and over because that is all he

knew.  So I had to record him. He got Grandma's

microphone from her Karaoke machine and went

at it.  He sings so cute!   I love how he stops in 

the middle to wipe off the microphone because he sang

 to close to it and got it wet.  I asked him to do a bow

at the end and I was not sure if he knew what that

was and you can tell he thought about it for a minute

and then gave his best effort which was so darling!
