Oreo finally had that baby




Well we waited and waited and finally Oreo had her baby. Its a boy, and just one. We thought 2 for sure. Emily and Madison got to watch part of the birth process. I was worried Oreo wouldn't be a good mommy but she is finally coming around. Austin named the baby lamb FJ in honor of our white sheep who died last year (fluffy) FJ stands for Fluffy Junior.




Oreos lamb ended up being really big and Roger had to pull it out. It was really interesting to watch.




Easter Weekend


For Easter weekend we mostly worked in the yard. We took a short little jaunt for a picnic. The kids had a lot of fun. We roasted Hot Dogs and let the kids play on the sand dune hill.

Fence is going in!

Well we bought our Chain link fence. We ended up getting an unexpected refund from our insurance company that with some of Union Pacifics Railroad pay we were able to get a chain link fence for the backyard. It is vinyl coated (white) and it seems to be really nice. It was used so that helped. It only cost $2.58 for the materials so that really really helped as now we only need to buy the cement, metal ties and one more gate. Its going to be so nice for Cannon to be able to go in the back yard. Right now when I let him out he runs like a mad man and doesn't look back. He would be half way across town.

I have been getting over a cold this week, I hope to have pictures of baby lambs soon, but Oreo is still pregnant. We are pretty sure she has twins, she has gotten sooooo fat.

The kids just have weeks left of school. They are already making plans for the summer. Emily got registered for Kindergarten on Friday there is going to be 26 kids in her class!!
