swim party

a boy's best friend

Collin and Jayden did this photo shoot. I guess Jayden woke up and was a bit chilly, so he cuddled into Briston. Then Collin came along and here are the results. I'll add that Collin and Lee took the pictures of the baby goats previously posted. They love to take pictures.



In the next picture I thought Briston had swallowed his head!!

I love this next picture. I might even love it enough to motivate and print it out and frame it.

Briston is such a love. He'll probably end up staying with us. There are currently two St. Bs looking for new homes on craigslist. So the odds of finding him another home probably aren't real high at the moment. Oh well, he's cute and he's growing on me....... And poor Jayden has to stay warm somehow!

Easter

We had a very nice Easter. Here is the loot. All the boys got fishing poles, and so did Grandma and Brent. I opted for a book, silly me. They are going out as I write to practice their casting. We were supposed to be going fishing for FHE (Family Home Evening), however it's 32 degrees factoring in the windchill and it's WINDY. So no fishing, but we'll let them play with their poles a bit anyway.



These next few pictures are just too neat and tidy. I can't believe we could dye eggs so neatly and so calmly! We asked the older kids to wait until we were done with the younger two, then they could go at their own pace and more easily do as they wanted. So they did that and I couldn't believe the difference! Amazing.

Brent borrowed a couple of Lee's eggs to decorate. Next year I'm going to have to do up a dozen eggs for him too! We also heard from some friends that used our brown eggs for dying that they work beautifully and so we'll be trying the brown eggs ourselves next year.

I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter.

Happy Easter

Collin snapped some pictures of Jayden cuddling with Briston. Here's one to tide you over until I can get more pictures loaded.

pictures and nothing else......

hmmmmmm

I swore I posted yesterday......really.......except when I think really hard about it.......I can't seem to pinpoint when I did it. So I guess my brain is really out to pasture!!

I keep forgetting to mention it, but I really, really appreciate the comments from everybody. I'm trying to get better about reading and commenting on other blogs, but obviously I'm not doing so hot there either...... And this is where my friend Courtney says "Well, remember you did leave your keys at the White House!!" So I guess I'm hopeless.

Today was a major day in Than's life, he got his glasses. He's so happy and so thrilled with all that he can see now! He had no idea how much better he'd see with them. He had another milestone, but he's probably not going to remember it and it's probably not really a milestone to anyone else either. But to me it is.....we went shopping in the men's department......my BABY in the men's department.

Yes, I know there are no pictures of Than in his spiffy new glasses, bad Mommy, bad Mommy, and my Mommy is going to tell me about it to. After all she's not here to see him, so she NEEDS a picture.

I'll try really hard to get one of him and one of the baby goats, yes I noticed I hadn't done that either. They are doing well and we're not bottle feeding round the clock at this point. It seems like they are older than the neighbor thought, as they are eating a lot of hay and not drinking a lot of milk. So we're still offering them the milk and monitoring them closely, but so far they are doing well.
