Swimming lessons

Usually swimming lessons turns into a huge headache for me but this year it was so wonderful. I had my older 4 kids in lessons and Easton in a stroller.  He usually would take a little late morning nap and I would watch the boys from a chair. It was wonderful.  They all did so well too.  We love going swimming as a family. 

 Brett ready to go swimming as a family.  This is how he got himself ready.  I was dying! Glad he let me take his picture!

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!
