Life has been busy (as you will see from the pictures) so I have gotten a bit behind on blogging. Here is a REALLY long post with pictures from the past two months. I have posted the pictures from oldest event to the most recent on the very bottom. (It was just easier to post pictures that way.) Enjoy.
First, at the end of March we visited Aunt Britney and Uncle Ben in Idaho. We ate at a restaurant that had free face painting for the kids. Williams batman mask got smeared after the balloon sword popped in the car ride home. We had a great visit. The boys LOVE aunt Britney and uncle Ben.

| Played in the children's discovery area of the museum. |
 |
| Nursing sick Lincoln back to health. |
 |
| William falling asleep in the pile of clean laundry. |
 |
| Went to Baby Animal Days with Aunt Rachel, Uncle Morgan, Jonathon and baby Max. |
 |
This year for Easter we actually got to dye eggs. It is fun to have the boys at an age
where they can enjoy holiday traditions. |
 |
| This egg should be worried. He will be lunch tomorrow. |
 |
The Easter Bunny was kind enough to leave chocolate bunnies, a craft for each kid,
their favorite sugar snacks and new summer pj's for both William and Alexander. |
 |
Lazy Saturday mornings. We usually snuggle together and read books,
tell stories or sing songs. Every once in a while we fall back to sleep.
These are some of my favorite mornings. |
 |
| Lincoln ready for Easter Sunday. Handsome kid. |
 |
| Their new pj's. |

Gordon has been busy around the farm. We are trying to get set up
to receive our milking goats. This is the milking stand he built. |
 |
This the portable chicken tractor Gordon built. We put the Cornish
chickens (the meat chickens) in here and moved them daily. It worked out well.
I LOVED the Cornish chickens. They were so friendly, big and beautiful. |
 |
The goat pen and goat shelter we were given. (It was a chicken coop but will be perfect for
the goats.) |
 |
| The boys taking pictures with the camera. |
 |
We went to Moab for an over night stay since Gordon had to go down
to check on a job project. On our way back we stopped in
at the new City Creek Mall. I'm not one who loves shopping and the mall
scene but this mall was done so nicely. It is beautiful. |
 |
We made it to the Tulip Festival this year with Grandma Geri
and Grandpa Jon. Even Jonah our cousin came. It was a lovely day. |
 |
We've been to many parks the past several months. Mostly to
get away from those nasty gnats that hang around our house
each spring that eat us alive for two weeks. Thankfully they go away.
I should have been putting a garden in but had fun playing at the parks. |
 |
| Around the house activities... |
 |
| Please hold me mama! |
 |
| I've got my eye on you. (Picture by Alexander) |
 |
| Lincoln turned 9 months and what a beautiful baby. |
 |
| He is trying to walk. |
 |
Alexander completed his preschool on the 17th of May.
The children put together a little program consisting of 4 songs.
Pretty neat day for him. |
