Aleksandra's lunch, the motorcycle guy decided to join us today.
Fresh cucumber, onions, and broccoli from the garden soaked in vinegar one of our family favorites.
All the cucumber pickings from the morning!
We all went to Big J's just like Napoleon Dynamite did, we where in his town so we had to partake!
Fresh Strawberry Shake, we went back for seconds!
Aleksandra and Daddy, getting really excited.
Yes we partook of the Tater Tots, but no we didn't put them in out pockets.
Brooke showing you the awesome DI, just like Napoleon went to, when in Rome (well Preston) people!
Me getting pretty excited to be there!

Aleksandra playing in the bleachers with her favorite Aunt Janet, we love her!
Yes, this is necessary and made our burgers DANG good!
Hello Demo Derby burgers we love you!
Loving the Derby, and my baby!
The cars going crazy, who knew watching cars smash was so much fun.
More action.
Mike and I got up early for the sunrise.
Earning our keep, wink wink!
Please meet Farmer/ Gangster Mike. Who knew he had this horse whisper thing in him he was a natural.
Riding the horse buggy was amazing and not as scary as riding a horse!

The chickens laid eggs that morning and Brooke and I went on a egg hunt to find them.
Aleksandra learned to climb this ladder this weekend, so big and strong!

She doesn't quiet know what to think.
Big smiles, she just loves horses.
Aunt Janet teaching her how to be soft.
We were so lucky to be able to come out to Preston and stay with my family. I love them so much and don't get to see them all the time. We appreciate my Aunt and Uncle for the hospitality and love they showed us and the Gowdy's. They went above and beyond with kindness, They showed us a true Idaho farm experience should be like, and it was AMAZING. Aleksandra loved ever minute and cried when we drove away. We can't wait till we can come back again or they can come visit us!
