Birthday Weekend Fun

I got spoiled this year for my birthday. Saturday was a gorgeous day outside and we spent most of the day playing. We went to two different parks and had time to shoot baskets outside at our house. Then we met the Yoder's for a yummy dinner in Clarence.

Sunday we headed to my mom and dad's house for lunch and some great dessert. Thank goodness my birthday comes only once a year because I can not say "no" or "not that much" to that delicious chocolate cake! We spent the afternoon outside seeing all the new baby lambs and just enjoying some wide open space for the kiddos to run around on.

That night Jim and Donna Kay came up and spoiled us with the works from Pizza Hut. Too bad I was still sick from lunch to really enjoy it! We all agreed that we were totally spoiled with lots of good food, friends and family and great weather... and my birthday really wasn't until Monday!

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to Kyle..even though his birthday was in January! :)

Andi had lots of fun signing to me and Kyle and blowing out my candles.

Andi finally letting the bottle lamb suck on her finger...after Kyle showed her how.

TJ holding the bottle...or actually playing tug of war with the lamb over the bottle.

"inquisitive" TJ trying to see if that tail was really attached.

It didn't take long for him to really warm up to the sheep and get excited. This is about the time that he started "chasing" the sheep around the pen.

TJ starting to go after the lamb.

Andi "leading" Johnny.

As the afternoon went on, TJ showed no fear when it came to the lambs or the ewes.

Andi being a dork and showing us how she can climb through a gate.

TJ feeding/playing with Johnny.

and then riding him...

Papa Harold even let TJ have his own can of feed this time. He was supposed to be feeding the goats but thought Lucky might need it more.

finding a quiet spot to reflect :)

Andi "helping" TJ back to the hay barn. She kept saying "its okay, I'm here, you're safe now." What a dork, I mean loving big sister!

Travis trying to figure out the "darbie car" Thanks to Alicia- the kiddos will be able to really get around this summer!

Andi learning how to drive.

TJ not too impressed with Andi's driving. He wouldn't even sit in the seat but opted for below the dash instead. After a few more minutes he was ready to walk!
