Pictures...

Clint and the kids by a living statue. We weren't sure if it was real until he moved poses. It was so cool! Clint and I in Puerto Vallarta by the dolphin statue.

Sadie and Harley really wanted to go too.

This was on our cruise. This was Frano our favorite server!

Here is little TJ. This was the day he was born. Yes he is in the house. We would warm up towels by the heater vent and then lay them on him to keep him warm. Emily came up with the her girls and fell in love with him too.

Time flies...

When your having fun. I can't believe I haven't posted anything since December. We have been busy, but not that busy. We spent Christmas in a hotel again. I wish Clint would at least stay in a place with a pool or other activities that are available so we wouldn't get so bored. It was not as bad as I was expecting. We were in Cheyenne and the weather was actually very nice. Who gets to go feed the ducks and geese on Christmas day? I haven't ever. The only downfall of being away from home for Christmas is there is no where to go eat a home cooked meal. Or even close to one. I think if we ever do this again I will be prepared with my handy dandy crock pot. Sometimes it takes three times to get it right! Just after the first of the year my grandfather passed away. I wasn't expecting it and it kind of took me by surprise. All I can say is I am so glad I was able to go to the Christmas party this year and I sat on his bed and chatted with him a little. Sometimes it takes losing someone to realize how special they are and what kind of an impact they had on our lives. At the end of January we went on a Disney cruise. It was not my first but first for Clint and the kids. We went with Emily and her family and my dad and Beverly. We had a blast. There were so many kids on this cruise because they had a promotion that kids go free. It was still fun. The kids always had activities going on all day and all night. The older kids would even stay out until 1 or 2 in the morning. Towards the end of the cruise you could tell that the late hours were starting to wear on them and they would end up in bed a lot earlier. This February our sheep started lambing. We try to have them born early in February so they are ready for the county fair in August. We have two black face sheep that had five little show lambs. They are so cute. We have three boys and two girls. This was the first time we produced our own show lambs instead of buying them from a breeder. We have at least two that I think will do really well. We also have Ashley's four white face ewe's that lambed about a month later. We got 2 really cute black and white ones that look like little Holstein calves. The rest of them are all white. We have 11 babies....we did have 11...up until a couple of days ago we had 11. One of the black face ewe's had triplets and the little runt was so small that we had to bottle feed the little guy because he could not reach the mom's udders. We grew to love this little guy so much and he loved us just as much in return...only because we were his source of food...TJ is his name. He would follow us around like a puppy and he would come when he heard our voices. Lambs usually run away from anything but their own mom. I loved this little lamb so much. It has truly broken my heart to lose him. I still cry about it only because when he died he did suffer and I was with him the whole time not really knowing what to do until it was too late. I will handle things differently if this ever happens again. I will miss little TJ for a while and my heart is broken but I know I will get past this. So now I am all up to date hopefully I will keep it up.
