Cookie Weekend 2012

It is that time of year for making cookies and spending time with family. Every year my family gets together for a weekend and bakes cookies. I mean ALOT of cookies.
This year b/c of all the kids we are driving. And we all fit in one car. My sisters twins (1 year old). My kids Owen is 2 and Emily is 1.
This is going to be a long trip. But fun ( I hope) . I will keep you posted.

My poor Emily

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. My little Emily is sick. She got sick a couple of time last night and as I was working on a post (the kids were napping) she got sick again. I am now rocking her back to sleep.

Happy Thanksgiving

I know that I am about 2 days late. The family drove to Yucaipa to spend the holiday with Dave's dad. To keep the driving to a min and so we can enjoy the holiday we rotate what family we spend the day with. We had a great time. The kids loved playing with their cousin and Papa Dave. The dinner was great but the company was even better.
The Buck family has so much to be thankful for. Even throw some times we may lose sight. One look at our kids faces or hearing them say "mommy" or " daddy" gets us back in track. I hope everyone had a great holiday.
Below is a couple of the kids playing in the trampoline. Sorry for how poor the quality is. The pictures were taken with my phone in very very low light.

Oma's Pumpkin Patch

I know that Halloween has past but I wanted to share with you a couple  of pictures of our family trip to Oma's Pumpkin Patch. The kids had so much fun running around and playing with every thing that they could. Oma's Pumpkin Patch is a work farm so there were old farm equipment that the kids were able to climb all over and play. There was also a hay ride. We were giving a tour of the cows. Owen made sure to tell us right away that it smelled. The kids were able to pick out their own little pumpkins to take home. The next night Dave helped the kids crave the pumpkins.

I tried to get a picture of the kids. Well it did not work out. The look on Owen's face is too funny. Just like his dad. Not a fan of a posed picture.

 

 

Summers Past Farms

I am always looking for fun and new things to do with the kids. At the park a couple of weeks ago one of the moms told me about Summers Past Farms. One of the best things about Summers Past Farm is that it is free. They have animals, flower maze, gardens, handmade soap, pumpkins, and a sand box ( this kids loved that part)
The kids enjoyed looking at the animals. We saw some  Mille Fluer chickens. When I asked Owen what sound does the chicken make her said " Chicken, Chicken, Chicken" He is too funny.

We also checked out some Alpacas. Emily did not know what to make of them.

"Lets go!"

Off to the pumpkins.

 

"Owen can pick up" "Look at me Mommy" Owen called out to me.

Emily liked picking up the hay.

"Owen did it"

We found a nice little bench to have some gold fish our favorite snack.
 

I just love these two pictures.

 

 

 

This is one for the wall. 

We had a great time.

 

We are back

Hello everyone. I am sorry it has been along time from my last post. This time of year is so busy. there is so much that goes on. I am happy to be back. I hope that everyone is doing well.

Water Color Time

Today I was standing in my art room looking for an idea for an art project for the kids. I look down and saw Emily trying to open my water color set. Thanks Emily for the great idea. The kids loved it. Owen likes to make hand prints and Emily liked to paint on herself.
I just love that my kids enjoy art. Now I have new pictures for my art wall
