anxious little farm boy...

matt has been itchin to get out in the fields, play in the irrigation water, and ride in the tractor. needless to say the warm weather has greatly increased his mood despite the "ashley watchers" diet he is said to be on. he finally got to get out and farm a tidge last saturday and he was delighted. he even had a little tractor buddy to keep him company:

in other peterson news: merv had his one year check-up appointment yesterday and he is a happy, healthy kitten! merv hates to travel, but he did exceptionally well on the drive out to farr west...especially compared to our last excursion for family pictures. anyway he was even being a nice little guy....right up until they pulled out the thermometer and took his temperature....through his tiny rear end! after that there was no more mr. nice kittie. he turned into a ninja of sorts. but it was a short lived fiasco and was well worth the peace of mind that my little mervie is healthy.

as for me...i have found a fun new interest in crafts and sewing. i have dragged matt to joannes far more than any man deserves to be dragged there, but i know if i go by myself i will get out of control! i really enjoy being creative and being able to make things. we went over to the widdisons last night and kari graciously showed me how to use my sewing machine that has been collecting dust in my basement. it surprises me to say so, but i think i really enjoy sewing.

i am also getting really excited to register for school summer semester...another thing i am surprised to say. but honestly, i miss going to school and learning things about this beautiful, crazy world we live in.

well...carry on.
