Happy Mother's Day!

Gwen, and I, wanted to wish all the Mother's a very Happy Mother's Day!  
"Yeah for Mommies!"

Although we both have been battling being sick again this week (somehow Brad keeps missing it all), our mood was great yesterday and we had tons of fun.  We went over to Brad's Grandmother's house and did our annual Clean-up/Spring Cleaning Day.  Every year all her children and their families come back and help her around the house and yard.  Things get fixed, cleaned, painted, and planted all in a day!  It was a lot of work and a lot of fun!  Gwen made sure to give me plenty of hugs and kisses throughout the day and even applauded me last night before bed.  How sweet is that?

The last 2 weeks have been very eventful.  Gammy and Grandpa came for a quick weekend visit from the big city.  Gwen loved showing off all her toys and tricks!  She even received her first haircut!  Just the bangs, and I did them a bit shorter than I wanted to, however she was a trooper and even smiled for a picture.

"Check out my new doo!"
Gwen helped with some yard work too!  We planted flowers in some pots around the yard and later she sat on a real tractor!  She wasn't too sure about the tractor, but she really liked messing with the volume on the radio.
"I don't know about this Poppy.  Are you sure it isn't in gear?"

With the weather getting warmer, Gwen is running off naked every chance she gets.  She has also discovered joking.  She will run around the house with her shapes in her mouth, and sometimes will throw them at you if you get too close!  It is all fun and always gets her laughing.
"I'm gonna get you!"

We also went to the Tempel Genetics Farm for a party and Gwen met some real piglets!  She petted and chased them and had a blast.  The piglets were only 3 days old!

"Kennedy, you are so much fun!"
