Happy Easter

We have had a successful Easter, and suprise, Daddy came home early. He arrived early morning Sunday and got to spend the day with us!!(we didn't think he would be home until afternoon)

Thanks for the chicks, Aunt Leslie- lucky will have friends.

The Utt Grandkids are ready for the, "ready, set, go!"

Yes Tucker recieved a Magna Doodle from the Easter Bunny, plus some candy and books.

Macho Man recieved a baseball bat, plates, and baseballs with his books!!!

Happy Easter to you all, we have had good food, fun egg decorating, quality family time, lots of lambs and we are ready for the daddy at this house to be home!!(he has been gone golfing for 5 days!)

Pictures

We are still having baby lambs at our house pretty regularly! The mommies in are barn are doing an awesome job, both with delivery and postpartum depression!!!!

We love the one with a black leg, we have another one that has a spot like a Holstein cow!

Total count as of 4-21-2011 at 6:00 am- 28 lambs- on 15 mommies.

Discombobulated

discombobulated - synonym- confused - disoriented mentally.
I used this word a couple of days ago, when I was tired, it was raining, I forgot my keys, we were late, I tried to learn braille, ... all of the above.
It wasn't my day and truthfully this week has been a little discombobulated altogether. I could stand up at work and state, " I just don't have it this week, I will do better next week."

With all that said I will try to make it through today and tomorrow!

Babies...

Yes we are in full throttle at our house. We have 14 lambs on 9 ewes right now and 39 ewes left to lamb!! We have sets of twins, singles and do I have to tell you this is the funny story, that I am somewhat ashamed to tell.
Brandon as we are watching a 1st time mommy have a lamb tonight.
"Lori did you just push with her?"
Lori replies, "well yes, I can't watch her without trying to help."
Brandon sighs, "Oh my"
Lori repeats, " I know how she feels that is hard work, especially the first time!!!!"
I will post pictures as soon as I get them on the computer at home, or learn how to post at school with our new security!(note the lack of blogging!)

Need to go check on my new little mommy!

Sticks and Stones

Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Sticks and Stones is a great picture book for young children to teach them that mean words do hurt us.
Sticks and Stones are fun to pick up out of the yard this time of year.

I read a book today to the little people in my world (students). It was awesome. It talks about how mean words and yucky attitudes stick to us, and it teaches how to turn away and say positive things to yourself to make yourself feel better!! I copied a page and put it on my door at school.

It is really important for me to be positive this time of year at school.

I will do my best to complete this 2010 -2011 school year, knowing that I have given it all my effort, I have taught Kindergarten 3 successful years (or we will see when test scores come back), I signed my contract to teach in Scotland County in 2011-2012.
Happy Spring!!

Being positive is contagious... So Smile!!!!!

Rambo

We are anxiously waiting for these lovely ladies to produce lambs!

Rambo is our new chore, (yes twice a day)! He will be raised by Tayden and shown at the D.C Fair in July! We are excited to have a baby calf and to show him what responsibility is other than the normal routine!!!
Rambo was a twin from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Charlotte, Thanks!!!!!!
