Mesa Verde

Last weekend to beat the Memorial Day crowds some of the Yeager bunch met up at Mesa Verde in Southern Colorado. It was such a great little vacation that wasn't too far away. The weather was perfect, and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time (even my little brother Wyle who tried to pretend it was all too boring for him.) It was a bummer Heidi and Irvin were busy with school and work and Lisa was just too far away in Iowa to miss out on all the fun.

Sivai was always leading the crowd and climbing everything he could. He only fell out of one tree, but it didn't seem to bother him for too long.

As usual Austin was most interested in the small things, especially caterpillars and bugs. He may have overturned every rock he came across. This happens to be a blossom from a flower.

Lily was carried around a lot of the time, it was a good there were a lot of shoulders to do the work.

Two Turkeys

Patrick was very excited to go turkey hunting this spring and even took Sivai along once. He was lucky enough to get one before the season ended. We haven't eaten it yet and I'm wondering how the kids will react when we do.

Austin has had a great time this year in his tumbling class, it's sad to know it's over. He gained so much confidence and was very proud that he could finally teach his brother how to do something. I can't believe he starts kindergarten this fall.

3D

I've never had a 3D ultrasound and when my Drs. office offered it for free I thought it would be a fun new thing. Unfortunately baby did not want to cooperate and stayed firmly placed between my hip bone and the placenta. We got a great 3d view of my placenta, with some of her face. It was still fun to see her moving, kicking and sucking. This is the best picture we got, on the right hand side is a partial view of her eye and nose, that may or may not be her hand over her mouth. Oh, and we double checked, still a girl :).

1st Grade Program

Sivai had his dance program today and did a great job, they have been practicing for weeks now and he has been very excited. They performed several different dances and at the end families could join in and do the chicken dance. I let Patrick have all the fun.
