Kilgore

We had a tragedy in our family this week. My brother was in an accident with a horse trailer. The trailer came off the pickup and rolled killing my moms horse Bou and hurting my dad's horse Amber. My mom was so upset about losing her horse. The trailer below is after they got it put back together. The front of the trailer came off. Bou is now buried in the field behind Burtenshaw's cabin. We went with mom and dad to Kilgore to take Hadley more horses. The boys had fun playing in the field and picking the wild flowers.

Macy got to ride lilly and go with Grandpa & Hadley through the field to check the fence. She loved the ride but kept telling me the next day that her bum hurt.

Macy's Track & Field Day

Macy's school had a fun track & field day. They start with a family picnic. It was a lot of fun and the boy's were really excited to go. This is Carter's cheese sandwich he made with his lunchables. He took the whole thing of cheese and put two crackers around it. It was so funny watching him try to get his mouth around it.

Rexburg Splash Park

We had such a long streak of really warm weather so I took the boys to the Rexburg Splash park. We had never been and the boys had a great time playing in the water. Carter really wanted to go down the slide but he wasn't brave enough to get his face wet. At least this year he is willing to get wet.

Macy's School Program May 09

Macy had a fun little spring program at school. They did all of the songs that they had learned throughout the year. It was really fun to see Macy up there and she did really good not getting scared being in front of a crowd. I can't believe my little girl will be in 2nd grade now.

Easter Egg Hunt

Every year I have put together an easter egg hunt for the kids. This year we decided to go the egg hunt in Rexburg. I thought that it would be so much fun for the kids. I think that it turned out more tramatic than fun. Macy was upset and crying when we were done because she only had 2 eggs. The kids were mean and pushed and she didn't like any of it. Austin did better. He went with the flow and ended up with 7 eggs (which he shared some of with his sister). And then there is Carter who could care less about gathering eggs. He got one egg because his mom made him get it.
After our tragedy I thought that it might be a good idea to do something fun to erase the easter egg hunt from their minds. We packed a lunch and headed to Hamer where Jase is planting grain. We had a tailgate picnic. Lots more fun than the egg hunt. The kids had a blast and it was so warm outside. I got a sunburn in the hour we were outside. Pretty unusual for an Easter weekend in Idaho to have sun but we were soaking it all in.

Mary had a little lamb

Grandpa Bird decided that the kids needed some bum lambs to take care of. He kept them for the first few weeks to get them going and then brought them to our house. I had the most excited kids. They spent the entire day outside with their lambs. They absolutely love feeding them. Carter would wait up in his bed until he would hear me come out at 10pm to go feed and would go with me. I will admit they have been kind of fun to have around.
