Oreo and Smalls

After the success of the sheep last year we decided to brave it again and got us a couple of bum lambs. And they were YOUNG! One looked like he had never eaten and they told us he was 2 days all.  We named him smalls because he was so tiny.  You could see his hip bones.  The other one was a girl and she was a couple of weeks old they thought. She had a black face with a white spot on her head so we named her oreo.   Bryan had a super hard time getting Oreo to eat.  She fought him for awhile.  I thought she was going to die so I took a lot of extra pictures of her.  Smalls ate like crazy! We bottle fed them 3 times a day for months.  Easton really loved the sheep.  He couldn’t crawl when we got them so i would set him in the pen while I fed them and they would just walk around him.  He loved it.  They were super sweet so stinking cute.  I have so many pictures of them I’m going to have to split up the posts but here is part 1. 

Water turn 2016

Ever year I pay to have my water shares I really wonder how much money they really save me.  I’m pretty sure not really any money at all especially when you account for my time to do it.  Then my kids ask me what day the water turn is and I know why we do it.  They love to play in the water! Even Easton got into it and would crawl around in the water.  I’m looking forward to next summer to seeing him running in the water. 

 Look at my neighbors sunflowers! They are fantastic and HUGE!

Easton's first birthday!

I know I’m super behind on my blog but I need to back track to talk about my sweet baby Eastons birthday! His birthday landed right on the first day of the cache country fair and Tyson was showing his sheep so we spent a good part of the day at the fair.  Good thing he was too little to care! I got him a cute little yellow chair that you can push buttons and it reads and sings to him.  We didn’t need to talk him into smashing his cake at all. He loved it! We were lucky to have my parents in town so they got to celebrate with us as well.  

Easton at one year-

He LOVES his dad.  He would rather be with dad then mom.  If he is crying just turn on the song “take it easy, theres no need to hurry” and he will start dancing.  He doesn’t walk yet but he does crawl everywhere.  He knows what he wants and makes sure he gets what he wants! He doesn’t like his brothers getting into his face and swats at them if they get too close.  He loves ice cream and juice. He also loves spaghetti and can feed himself. He loves animals especially our sheep.  One of his first words was Baa! Easton loves little cars and drives them around the house.  He has the sweetest little smile and personality.  He still doesn't really like to nap but we are working on it.  He does sleep really good at night though thank goodness. He has 5 teeth and likes to bite mom! East loves the sand box and dumps the sand on his head and eats it. He also loves to swing on our swing set.  It's REALLY hard to get pictures of him because he is always on the move! Dad had to help me take his one year old pictures that's why they were in our backyard because he didn't want to drive anywhere! I had balloons but your brothers popped them. 

 I love my little buddy.  I'm so lucky to be your mom Easton!
