St Patrick's Day!!!
Of course the Leprechauns visited!
And we made rainbow cookies again. Grandpa joined us for dinner of corned beef and cabbage!
The boys and I stopped for Shamrock Shakes while in town.
My Birthday was in March. The kids took me to my favorite place to eat in Iowa so far.
Nadya was at a sleep over so Hallie's Best friend joined us too. Alex ordered their
garbage burger and didn't come close to finishing it.
Grandpa went to school for Grandparents' Day.
He had to bop around four different classrooms to visited everyone.
Alex interviewed and wrote a report about Grandpa.
And calving season officially began which kept Doug pretty busy. He checked on his cows twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night to make sure they were doing okay. Sometimes I would join him. This little cutie was born on my birthday.
Meet Stormy. This is actually Grandpa's calf, but Doug and Alex found him in pretty bad shape as he was born during a March snow storm. His mom had died and left him cold and wet in a pile of snow which is not great for a young calf. Doug, Grandpa and Alex spent hours working on him trying to warm him up and get him to eat. It was quite a learning experience for Alex. I was a little worried because Doug didn't think he'd make it. It looks like he is taking the bottle in this picture, but he didn't. They had to tube him for a few days before he finally decided to suck. I am happy to report that stormy is doing fantastic and all of cousins have enjoyed having a bottle calf around. This is stormy the night we found him and after he was dry and warm.
