Awana Games, Trees, Padme sayings and Yoda pics

Luke and Leia were in the Awana Olympic Games on Sat. They had lots of fun and each took second place. We had fun watching them. Here are a few pictures of them with their ribbons.








The past two weekends, Hubby, Han and Obi have been out digging holes for 10 trees we bought from a traveling tree salesman. The ground here is incredibly hard, and they have worked hard to get them planted. But, we now have 10 evergreens on our acre. We still have lots to do, but it is nice to look out and see some green. Next week the salesman is bringing some Aspens, so the guys will have more holes to dig. Hubby is starting to plan the fence. We will have a privacy fence along the road, and then chain link for the play yard part. That way we will be able to fence the little kids and the dogs in, but still see out into the next section where we may have some goats or chickens, and then further out where the boys are digging a huge fire pit. Good thing those boys have so much digging energy!

Padme is such a funny kid. The other day I took her grocery shopping with me and she was riding in one of the carts that has a front car for little people to ride in. They are very loud, so it is hard to talk to her. She asked me a question, and I answered, and she said, "I can't hear you mommy because you are shopping!"
The other night she was in the bath tub and she asked about eating out. We are on a strict budget, since the Christmas extravaganza, and then she said, "Oh, I forgot we are poor. Mommy, are we a little bit poor, a little bit rich and a little bit Indian?" Hmm, not sure where that all came from! She keeps us laughing!

And a few more pictures of Yoda.

He doesn't like the Bumbo seat too much.




And here he is crashed after a bath


And check out those thighs! If only chubby was cute when you were an adult!
