Is there anything cuter then baby Lambs??

We love our neighbors!! Don and Helen came over on Sunday to tell us their sheep had had their babies. They were less then 24 hours old and they thought Luke might want to see them. Now you need to understand that my husband wisely does everything in his power to keep me away from baby animals. So he was little alarmed when I started jumping up and down in excitement. But really how could we not take Luke over to see the little lambs ;) They were SO CUTE!!!! Can you tell how happy I was just holding one. As it turned out Luke would not even touch them but that certainly didn't stop me. They pretty much had to kick me out of the barn. You can see in the pictures that Luke liked to look at them but did not know quite what to make of them. And don't worry honey I know we don't have the right fencing yet so I have not run out and bought us sheep. (but I'm not promising anything for the future)

Our wonderful small town

There is a little boy named Kody that goes to Luke's Preschool who is suffering from cancer. The whole town has come together to support this little guy. Check out his website http://www.kodybug.com/ All day last sat they had a Jamboree for him at the local high school. It was amazing!! They had a band playing and invited kids up to dance. It was SO CUTE seeing all these kids of all ages dancing. Luke went up on stage and stood in one spot, he didn't move at all, except to look around. I took tons of pics but because it was so dark they didn't come out. From what I hear it was a big success in raising money to help Kody.
Luke and Drew loved playing on the air toys outside. Luke laughed and laughed going down the slide.

TAGGED!!

Luke has been tagged by Angelina and Angelo

The directions are to post 10 random bits about yourself and then tag 10 more people....

1. I like anything with tires, matchbox cars, toy tractors, my big-wheel, my bike, my grandpa's big truck.

2. I tell my mom the names of tractors ; Backhoe , excavator, frontloader. My mom is not very good at remembering what they are called so when we are driving I like to yell out the names when I see them to remind her.

3. I love books! My mom says I take after her cus books are her very favorite thing too. Hum... I wonder if thats why I have so many of them.

4. When I take my naps at home I like to sleep with four stuffed animals, two horses and two monkeys.

5. Don't tell, but I have a "blankie" that I make sure is never to far away from me.

6. I go to two schools, "New school" is Three Peaks Preschool and "Old school" is Jentle Jungle, I love love going to both.

7. My dad likes to play cars, so I make sure I play cars with him every day. If he forgets to play I'm really good at reminding him.

8. I have the very best Grandma and Grandpa, they play with me all the time. When we go out to eat I don't understand why it always takes so long. I usually start jumping up and down to get people to hurry. I think my grandpa gets bored to cus he will take me outside for walks. He's really good at looking at trucks with me. Sometimes my Grandma comes over to my house just to play. My mom and dad have someplace to go so its just me and grandma having fun.

9. I have three horses that I help feed every day. I have my own wheel barrow to put the hay in.

10. Sometimes my mom and dad will look at me and start laughing I didnt even know I was doing something funny. I like being able to make them laugh and smile.

Now for the 10 tags

FFF = Favorite Friday Foto

Liz and Gary took this picture from our hiking trip last Sat. This is one of the places that we climbed in and out of passing Luke back and forth. This kid has no fear, he laughed the whole time. If we would slow down he would say "go go", you can tell in this picture he does not much like stopping to take a picture. Come on, there are rocks to be climbed.

A play day for us!!

Last Friday Dewey and I got to go golfing. (YIPEEE) We both love to golf but really only go a few times a year. Some friends from Spanish Fork came down and we all met in St George bright and early Fri morning. I have to say St George has some stunning golf courses. I love the green grass against the red rocks. And please no comments on my gold swing, I'm really not very good and well aware of it. :) And no I did not make my shot across this gorge. (lost 4 balls in fact, darn canyon shot)

Easter Sunday

Luke LOVES cars/trucks/tractors pretty much anything with wheels. He was pretty happy to see that's exactly what the Easter Bunny left him. He was not to impressed with the new shoes, go figure.
After breakfast we drove down to Zions national Park. In Springdale (the town right before you get to Zions) there is this little Animal reserve. They have Elk, Buffalo and various other animals you can feed. Luke was loved it and didn't want to leave. As we were putting him in the car he kept saying "more, more elk". Then the rest of the day it was "bye bye Elk".

We did one of our favorite hikes, the Zion overlook. Check out Luke happy as can be riding on dads back. It occurred to me that once we bring Kolby home I will also need a backpack to carry one of the boys. Since they both weigh the same neither one is going to be easy. Hum.... note to self, always make sure to invite other people on our hike who are bigger and stronger then me. And who will let me talk them into carrying whichever child I am supposed to carry :)
The views are breathtaking when you reach the end of the hike. This picture was taken at the overview. Words just don't do it justice. This is the whole group from left to right, me, Dewey, Luke, Jordan, Gary, Liz and Haley. After our hike we drove to a picnic area and had lunch. It was a beautiful day, a wonderfu way to spend Easter. I love that we live so close to such an amazing place.

Saturday

Liz (my sister), her boyfriend Gary and his girls came down for Easter weekend. We all got up early on Sat morning for our towns Easter egg hunt. Lets just say there were a zillion kids there and it was over in less then a minute. Luke did find a special egg which meant he won a prize basket. The picture is of him holding it and laughing with Dewey

After the egg hunt we drove to St George and hiked around the "Narrows" park (I don't know the real name of the park, that's just what we call it). Luke loved it and had great time with "auntie" , Gary and the girls. We hiked all over the rocks. There were some places where we would pass Luke from person to person to get him down and he would laugh the whole time.

I like this picture, Luke and Liz relaxing in the sun.
