Quiet moment with Pop.

Laughing and being silly slouchy with Mia.

Watching the Sound of Music.

Honey!

Pop and Mr. Tate "robbing" the hive.

Up close view of the comb from the safety of the car!

Mr. Tate in complete bee-keeper gear.

Checking for honey.

Extracting the honey. The extractor looks like a large salad spinner.

Scraping the last of the honey off of the comb.

mmm. Delicious honey pouring out.

The bee smoker.

The empty combs to be returned to the hive for next year.

Calvin, Isaac, and Pop holding a comb well after the bees cleared out and went home.

Filling the honey bears.

Washing off the sticky honey.

Isaac and Calvin each have their own honey bear full of Pop's honey.

Calvin in full bee-keeper gear. So serious.

Off to rob the hive. (Not Really!)

Happy Mother's Day!

This morning Mia, Calvin, and Isaac brought me this wonderful treat!

13 weeks

Now I am officially in the 2nd trimester. I don't feel that energy rush yet! I had an appointment yesterday and heard the baby's heartbeat - sounds great. All checks out and we are on the once a month to the Dr. schedule now. June 21st is the scheduled date for the 20 week ultrasound and hopefully finding out whether we will have a son or daughter this time.

Happy Birthday Diana!

Hope you enjoy Calvin's new Birthday song just for you :)

Happy Birthday Tankut!
