Weekend in Mount Ayr, IA

Brandon was out of town this weekend in California with the Baseball team, so I decided to tag along with Drew and Kate and go up to Mount Ayr. It was great to get out of Manhattan for a little while, since that will be the longest trip that I am allowed to take in the next month. I called my doctor before I left and they didn't think that it would be a problem for me to go out of town, but they did print out my records just in case something happened. Everything was great and the 3 1/2 hour car ride was not that bad. It was a very relaxing weekend filled with playing the Wii and waiting around to see if there was going to be any baby calves born. No baby claves! We were very shocked that we were there for 2 nights and nothing happened. I have already seen one before, but Kate has not and was hoping to while we were up there. I love that Kate is a city girl just like me and it is fun to watch her go through learning about the farm.
The weekend always goes by way to fast and we never seem to be up there long enough. It was nice to see Brett since he is really busy this time of the year and is not able to get away from the farm. I was very excited to hear that he sold some of his cows, so he will not have anything going on in April and will be able to be there when Peyton is born. Peyton will be very happy to know that her Grandpa Yoder made this happen so he could be there with her.


Wrigley hanging out with Brett. Wrigley loves to sit with Brett in this chair and she really loves how he smells after he has been out working on the farm. She would like his jeans clean if she could.


Drew, Wrigley and Brett just hanging out.

Drew and Debbie playing the Wii. They are playing baseball with Drew pitching and Debbie batting.


Wrigley and Jake having a great time playing together this weekend. They would play so hard for 15 minutes and then they both would be so tired that they would lay down until the other would get up and start running again.


After I would let Wrigley play outside with Jake this is what she did the rest of the time...SLEEP! She was so tired that all she would do was cuddle up with someone on the couch and fall asleep.



It was a great weekend! Thanks for everything Brett and Debbie and for letting me bring Wrigley along.
