Mother's Day 2009

My Mom decided to take reigns of mother's day and took us all to Antelope Island. It was definately a blast. Still a bit chilly. Definately memorable. We played in the sand and had a pinic on the beach, and went rock skipping and searching for rock treasures.

My mom had everything prepared. She fried chicken for lunch with all the accessories, then suprised the kids with shovels and pails. Isn't she the one who's suppose to be spoiled?

Amelia definately got the hang of dumping sand in the bucket, and then after a few times of dumping it back out, she decided to see what would happen if she dumped it on her head. She thought it was very entertaining. The sand stuck to her shirt because she had spilt Sprite on herself. And she definately has sandy cheecks when we changed her diaper.

On the way over to the farm after we visited the visitor site and looked through the gift shop, and at all the cool pictures they had hanging up from an artist, we ran into a heard of bison crossing the road. I had taken some pictures with them on the road, but they didn't turn out. Here were some not too far off of the side.

Over at The Fielding Garr Ranch the kids had fun with the farm animals. They fed chickens with grass through the fence.

I love this picture of the horses. The were huddled together. Like I had mentioned it was chilly. They did come and visit us, but not for very long until the huddled back together.

This is one of Faith's posings for the picture. I love doing her hair in french braids. She has such pretty hair.

I love this picture as well. Amelia was sharing kisses with us, though sometimes she was just teasing. She ended up giving grandma Byrd a nice big wet one.

Of course the kids had to revisit the chicken coup. Carter just loved them too much. They all loved teasing them too.

Thank you mom, for an awesome Mother's Day. Definately one that we will always remember!
