President's Day Weekend

Last weekend, we went to Provo. Every year about this time, we buy a portion of a cow and a pig. Two weeks ago, my father in law bought the pig, and last weekend we went down to buy a cow. We took the kids to the auction to see all of the animals before they were about to reach their impending doom. SL was very interested in what happens to the animals, was asking a lot of questions about it. That morning, my husband made sausage for breakfast, and when Mike told her where the sausage came from, she was not hungry any more. She hasn't asked about it since.

While we were there one of the baby goats (or maybe it was a lamb) escaped from it's pen where Grandpa and IL were. You can tell from the look on IL's face that this was one of the best moments of her life!



Here is SL enjoying the baby pigs.

It sure was fun to see you guys that weekend!

Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
