On Jan 26th my parents came to visit for a few days. For some reason we never remember to photograph much of these occasions, but we sure do enjoy them! We got to celebrate Libbi's birthday at the sledding hill followed by a bday dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Doxey and the Murri's.
Mom and Dad left that Friday, but Dad came back the day Brian headed to Cancun, so it was nice to have him and the girls around over the weekend. I got to play some games, or should I say win some games, against Dad, watch movies in the basement and we even got a baby sitter so we could do dinner and a movie in Provo once Brian was home. Thanks for the visit and we miss you already! 
Visits from Russian Grandparents
Grandpa and Grandma's Farm
We apologize for the delay in posts and to make up for it you get me instead of Brian posting! Not that my posts are better, just that they are rare, so more of a treat:) We had a great time a few weeks ago visiting Grandma and Grandpa's farm in West Point. They have horses, chickens, goats, apple trees and cousin Joey to play with, so this is one of the kids' favorite places to visit.

Lincoln is sporting the new BYU shirt he got for his birthday. To Brian's chagrin it says soccer instead of football, but it is blue. His favorite part of the farm is harvesting chicken eggs.

Truman loves horses if you can't tell by his face. All of our pictures from his ride have this exact same expression - "I am the luckiest boy alive to be riding a horse right now". Along with the horses, his favorite part is playing with Joey.

We thought Truman would enjoy the horses the most, but this little guy refused to get off. He rode around and around and then we would offer to stop and he would ask for more. Grandpa and Dad led him around by himself and he also rode with Lincoln and then with Grandpa. I guess we have our cowboy. The horses and feeding anything that breathed were his favorite parts.

McKinley pointed and said "ooH!" to all the live animals running around. She wanted to get close to the chickens and roosters, but they are almost as big as she is so we held her back. Her favorite part was playing in all the dirt and riding in the wagon Grandma gave us. She now rides in the wagon every chance she gets.
We took her and Jefferson trick-or-treating in it and yesterday when I took them for a little walk Jefferson said he wanted to go trick-or-treating again. Already the little red wagon has valuable memories associated with it. Thanks for the wagon and for the fun visit to the farm Grandma and Grandpa!
