James and Jani's

All of these pictures are Jami and Jani's backyard. The horses, from a distance. They have quite a few of them...7 or 8 I think.

Chicken coop

Jacob feeding a rooster some grass.

Collin riding his little bike.

Jacob and Alyssa with the cats.

The stinky pigs. Jacob got a kick out of them loving to be in the mud all the time.

Petting the horses.

Jacob had never done this before.

Jacob licking off his plate after pancakes with Jani's candy-syrup. Delicious!!

In the sandbox...back outside.

Janae on the tramp. She is such a cute and fun girl.

Kendra in the sandbox.

Janae helping Shaylee jump.

Jacob and Kyler watering the pigs...pretty sure they didn't need THAT big of a puddle, but oh well.

Jacob holding one of the grasshoppers he and Kyler cought.

Brian rounding up a little football.

Their trampoline is ground level. They just dug out a big hole underneath it to put the tramp down in. So nice. and so much safer.

I jumped for a little bit...I usually love to jump on tramps. But it got pretty uncomfortable pretty quickly with a bit extra tummy weight.

This picture makes me think of Brian playing with our (soon to be) 3 boys when they get older.

Carson and Tyler playing together.

Too many kids on the swings at one time...notice the bowing overbar.

Janae

Janae and Jacob popcorning Tyler in the middle.

Another shot of the horses.

Brian showing Jacob and Tyler how to pet the horses without touching the live-wire fence.

Tyler waving and saying hello to the horses.

Jacob was pretty excited about getting to pet the horses, especially the little pony.

Back to the trains.

Brian taught the kids how to catch a fly, freeze it until it slowed down enough to tie a piece of thread to the end. They had so much fun trying to catch the fly again and watching it fly around on a string.

Pretty intense.

Brian riding one of the horses. He made me pretty nervous riding so fast without knowing what he was doing.

James helped Jacob ride up on the horse while he walked it around.

Such a cute little horsemen.

What a good Uncle Jami.
