The Lamb Family: More Utah fun at Grandma and Grandpa Olsen's

Here we are eating our delicious Christmas party dinner at Grandma Olsen's. Look at all the kids!!!

These were hard pictures to get! The kids kept sliding down the stairs! (and Carter didn't get there quick enough!)

Gage, Abby and Ashton at the Murray Christmas party.

Uncle Devin's nose will never be the same again!

Ellie mauling, i mean holding, Abby. She is soooo excited to have a girl cousin!!!

Quick Updates.....

6.2.09: It has been very cold and rainy the last 2 days. Everything is getting so green. We all miss Matt and can't wait to see him home tomorrow. One more week of school for Carter. He can't wait. My mom and dad are coming out in 10 days and we can't wait to have them!!! Gage killed all the ants in the kitchen with the toilet plunger. He "mashed" them all.
5.30:09: We have been to the pool twice in two days! I can feel summer coming!! The water was a little cold, but the kids still had fun. Gage is a little unsure of the water. He stays right by the side in the kiddie pool and vroom vroom's his trucks along the side. Carter is growing a bean plant that he brought home from school. He actually has been doing really good keeping it alive, watering it everyday. We are waiting for Matt to build us a garden box so that we can plant our garden, but we actually have had a couple strawberries from last years plant already! (and this year the kids' got to them before the rabbit's did!) I have ants in my kitchen and am about to my wits end to get rid of them!!! Matt is in DC for the whole weekend. We went to the temple grounds for a tour with the primary kids today. Gage was a nightmare, picking flowers, trying to climb into the fountain, but it was still nice to just be on the temple grounds. So beautiful.
5.20.09: I ran 3 miles WITHOUT walking yesterday!! woo-hoo. For me that is amazing. Ellie-bellie had her preschool "graduation" today, and then tonight we go and meet her kindergarten teacher...I can't believe she will be in kindergarten!!! Gage has learned how to squirm out of his car seat straps. Little bugger. He says "no want it" when I beg him to put them back on. Watered my flowers, cleaned the house, folded laundary. Typical day....

Words of Wisdom

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence.
Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor even eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
