Our Annual Lambing Trip to Ephraim was the last weekend of March. Basically, our boys' dream world is Uncle Tom's Farm. Ben bought three sheep last summer that Tom and his family have added to their flock. Since then, we have been Tele-farming and it has proven to be a great arrangement. Ben can claim he is a proud owner of sheep and I don't have to take care of them. We have appreciated the emails and picture updates on their progress, including they have all had babies- so we went to meet all six of them. And see all the other Spring babies on the farm.
Sometimes I like to prove that I am not totally a city girl now.
We officially have three black sheep now.
Sissy wasn't quite sure what to think about the lambs.
This little one got his hoof caught in the fence. Good thing the doc was there to take a peek.

We don't have pictures of Bridger's muttin bustin experience, but it was pretty much the same.
Being a cowboy can be a dangerous job.
This is Aunt Neeser. I love she can text and farm simultaneously.
Bridger was more comfortable around the animals this year.
Bridger loves this "real cowboy vest" he got along with other cowboy shirts and hunting gear from our cousins. Maybe next year the pictures will have Bridger in a different shirt, or maybe not.
This boy loves to work.
He loved helping with all the farm chores. I asked Bridger some of his favorite things he did.
He said:
"Everything!"
Shooting a BB gun, shooting "a real gun, the 22"
Going "shed hunting." Cousin Joe hid a bunch of deer antlers that had been shed in the field and the boys got to collect them. It was awesome! Bridger followed Joe like a shadow and loved doing manly, cowboy things. (I guess that's why I have no pictures of him- he was gone from sun up to sun down)
They also got to shoot with a bow and arrow.
The neighbor dog had puppies. Sissy wasn't too sure about these either.
Carter loved them and Bridger tolerated them.

We finally convinced our boys to come home with us to our animal-less, boring city life. Only because we promised that we would return again.
