Silly Stuff from the Farm

I was just organizing a few snapshots on my computer and ran across a couple recent photos that might prove entertaining! Hope all is well with everyone!

Welcome to Redneck Country

We've been trying to convice Tanner and Zoe that this is the result of FAILURE to brush one's teeth! Zoe found these in my make-up drawer and put them in herself, we couldn't resist a quick pic!

Be Prepared!

This picture was taken on our first 74 degree day here in Nampa. I was in the family room folding clothes and next thing I know, Zoe comes out in her boots, mittens and hat and says, "I goin' outside to work on the tractor." Needless to say, I guess my constant nagging during the winter finally sunk in, just in time for shorts and t-shirts!

Never question a pregnant woman's repair skills!

Pregnant washing machine repairwoman available for replacing lid sensors on any Kennmore Washing machine! Due to an unbalanced load, the sensor broke off inside the washer. The kicker was that Tanner had no clean pants for school the next day so I ran into the repair center and at 4:55 p.m. (they close at 5:00 p.m.) a little old man sold me a very expensive sensor and said, "you're not going to do this yourself, are you?" I took it as a challenge and 4 hours later after I had dismantled the electronics, removed the case and replaced the sensor, Tanner's pants were in the wash!

Pancheri Clampetts go to Disneyland . . .

I'm still a little challenged with this blog thing -- the pictures didn't upload in the right order, but since it took 60 minutes to get them on the post, I'm going to leave well enough alone!! Congrats to Matt on your MPA and new job!!

Pancheri Clampetts go to Disneyland

(In Pictures!)

Nate and Zoe enjoying the Ladybug Ride (Kids version of the Teacups, I guess)

Tanner and Nate in front of California Screamin' -- Tanner loved it until the 4th trip and then he almost lost his cookies!

If the California Screamer didn't make him lose his cookies, the pickled octopus from Fisherman's Wharf on Monterey Bay should have!

YUM, YUM!!!

Zoe's entire trip was made when the love of her young life, "Lightening McQueen" rolled onto the scene. As you can see, she was mesmerized and ruined everyone else's photo ops because she simply wouldn't leave the car alone. She kept patting the car and saying,

"I uv oooh, 'itin kween"!

I finally persuaded her to at least move to the back of the vehicle. But, for the record, an hour long crying tantrum ensued when Lighting McQueen had to leave the scene!

Another one of Zoe's favorite rides and one of the few that the pregnant mom could join her on (besides It's a Small World -- and I could only handle that song once!!)

Yes, it was an adventure taking a two year old on a 16 hour road trip and then dealing with the whole "sensory overload" at Disneyland, but I'm sure my trauma will fade as time goes on. (Kind of like women who decide to have more kids after they forget about how much "fun" labor can be!) There were lots of smiles on Tanner & Zoe's part, so I guess in the end, it was worth it!

done.

Hi from the Farm!

Greetings from the farm! I think I'm finally figuring out this blog thing. These are a couple of pictures we took around Christmas time -- those are our cows in the background! Come July I guess we'll have to find another pair of boots to add to the family!

Life here has been busy, I'll post some Disneyland pictures as soon as I get them sorted and have recovered from the trauma of the entire vacation!
