Lawnmower Adventures with the Cook Kids...

 There's been a drive and ride the lawnmower type of craze going on around here lately. Particuarly because Jackson gets to drive it this year. Pictured above is Jack, saying something like, " I can drive with one hand!" and as many kids as we can jam into that little old trailer.

 Thumbs up!

 A happy passenger.

 Jack, why don't you watch where you're going?

 The Sunset.

 Then, Today, I went outside and saw this. They were towing our minibike with the lawnmower.

Yep, we're Rednecks =].

Easter sunday...

Well, we tried to get a family picture. But have you ever tried to get 10 people all sitting down, looking at the camera, smiling, not picking their nose, sticking their tounge out, giving bunny ears to the person in front of them, or whining?

 So, you will have just this nice picture of the three littlest boys, all decked out in their new easter clothes. Enjoy!

The Cheese House

 Bright blue sky.

 We went HERE.

 An Amish run cheese factory.

 Cheese in the making. (sorry the pic is so dark.)

 Packaged cheese.

 Samples; something our family LOVES.

 Middlefield, Ohio is the fourth largest amish settlement in the country.
