The Coop

As if Michael had nothing better to do, his latest project is all for me and the kids. Because we wanted some chickens he is building us a chicken coop.

Daddy's Helper

Almost done, then the girls can move in! Of course they are still way too young to just be put outside but we will move them to the top part of the coop with the heat lamp and we will keep them in the garage until they are big enough to face the great outdoors.

More Chick Pics

Chicky Babe

First addition to the "Farm". We got some chicks the other day. The kids are having a blast with them. Hopefully they get as much love and affection when the go out to their coop. They are still so little that they are inside for now. .. . . but if you have ever been around chickens you know that it is not going to smell too great in the house for much longer so out they will go. They sure are cute!!

My Baby's 1!

I know that mom's keep saying this but reality is we truely say this with complete disbelief that time can go by so fast. . . . so here it is, "Where has the time gone?!"

Sweet Myla "Smyla" turned 1 year old today. We had a great 1st birthday party yesterday surrounded with family and friends. She got some really cool stuff and did a great job opening her own gifts. She is a master at cake eating and knew just what to do with it!

Fabulous Family Fun

We had such a great time on our family vacation! We took almost 2 weeks over Spring Break and headed to Florida. We spent a few days with Aunt Rosie in Naples and then headed to Orlando to enjoy a week of Disney fun. In Naples we spent most of our days going to different beaches. On our last day with Rosie we went to the Everglades and saw a lot of alligators "In the Wild". It was really cool and the kids were really good at spotting them along side the road on our drive home. We had Such a good time and took so many pictures that it was hard to pick our favorites but here is a taste of our trip.

A Break from the Rain

We got a break from the rain yesterday and it happened to be 60 degrees too. . . .we had cousins, Zach, Madalyn and Quinn over for the day so we decided to take an afternoon hike around the property. Michael and Makayla had found a waterfall on the neighbors property last year so they wanted to show all of us where it was. On our way we found several interesting things. These were our finds. (BTW - the kids were VERY excited about ALL the finds)

We found a skull, we think it is an Elk. . . a cow. And we also found some coyote poop which was more exciting than you would think.

We have no idea what these bones are. They were not too far from the skull so it could be part of the same animal.

It's Booked!! Wahoo!

After a long day on the computer and phone trying to get our timeshare to line up with our free air miles we FINALLY booked our next family vacation!! Now we are really excited! Kaden knows where we are going but Makayla has no idea yet. And it is just 2 short months away! It is going to be crazy and busy but we are still going to go have a great time. It's so hard when you kids are in school to take a vacation when the rest of the world isn't on vacation but I guess that's how it goes. So for Spring Break this year we are going to WALT DISNEYWORLD!!!
