Proof That It’s Spring

March 31, 2010 by Kristen

2008
2009
2010
We go to the Livestock show every Spring. We watch chicks hatch from eggs and we see how Mom’s hair has changed through the years.
This year we arrived just in time to see a baby lamb born (oh, goody, sex eduction!) My son proclaimed loudly (due to shock, I’m sure),
“Did that baby lamb just come out of that sheep’s _ _ _ _ ?????”
Awww…..Spring!

    How cool that you have the same picture from every year – I love seeing how the kids grow up! (Also, I really liked your hair in 2008 – very retro-chic.)

    LOL!!! I'll never forget when my daughter came home from kindergarten and said to me, "MOM! Emily said babies come out of your BUTT! Is that TRUE!?" (awkward silence) I don't even remember what I told her. Probably too shocked!

    Oh, and maybe we shouldn't vote on my best hair. Because I'm sensitive, y'all.

    🙂

    2008 was a good year.

    Another humorous post and such a great idea to mark the outing year after year with the same location shot.

    Hi! I just wanted to say that I think your newer hair style makes you look younger in 2010 that in '08! Cute!

    I've long envied your cutesy haircut, girl. Always so cute.

    I had the where-babies-come-from thing figured out at 2, so I think we're doing fairly well being my son is four and still hasn't asked!

    Sorry about the comment change, Marcy (and others who've noticed)…I just kept getting really ugly anonymous comments and decided to disable that feature.

    Hilarious! And this post makes me sad that we didn't make more of an effort to get down to the rodeo this year. 🙁 My youngest and I did see a glimpse of the trail ride when we were out one day, but we were headed the wrong direction to see them for too long.

    Note to Sharon–Make time to go the the HLSR next year!

    And this would be why I am nervous about my kids becoming old enough to talk in complete sentences and thoughts.
