March 30, 2012 - Preparing for Spring

We are getting ready for Spring. These two girls are getting their perching practice.
The Pop-Up Green House is up.

March 24, 2012- James Birthday Party


ALL ABOARD! James is 3!!!

 We decorated everything in trains.
 Trains!

 I'm not the best cake decorator. The ducky engineer makes it cute!
 Our local bakery made the train cookies! They turned out awesome!
 James' favorite train books.
 James' favorite new train hat he got from Grandpa Choo-Choo!
 Saw this on Pinterest: Making a railroad track out of black duct tape, leading up to the door. This stayed up for several months afterwards. James LOVED it!
 Bubble lawn mower! We love bubbles!
 

Grandpa Choo-Choo and Memee came, of course.
 
James had a GREAT birthday party. We don't usually do big parties for the kids, but once in awhile, we pull one together and the kids enjoy it.

March 22, 2012 - There's a Storm Brewing!

 Just some neat pictures of the clouds, rolling in.

March 21, 2012 - James' Birthday Continues

 What would a birthday be like without a cookie-cupcake?!

Yummy!

March 20, 2012 - James' 3rd Birthday Part 1

 Nothing fancy for James 3rd birthday. We spent the day very low-key.



 We didn't even wrap his gift.
 He didn't seem to mind it. We have a party planned for the weekend, where he'll get a ton of wrapped presents.

March 10, 2012 - Clara's Ballet Recital

 James thought he'd try out for Clara's ballet class.
 Here she is - Miss Prima Donna.
 Stretching.
 Ever so graceful.
 Getting ready to spin.
 She is so amazing at ballet. We are really impressed!
Until next time, Thank You Miss Meagan!

March 8, 2012 - New Additions

So, to add to the already 10 chickens, we've added 2 more Barred Rock Pullets. These two sisters are really funny. They aren't like the other Barred Rock girls.

March 1, 2012 - Abbie 8 Months

 This is Abbie at 8 months old. Apparently, this is the best I could do for pictures this month.
James is always goofy, doing so many goofy things. We should have named him "Goofy".

Feb. 28, 2012 - Elders

Having the elders over for dinner has been a great experience for our kids, especially James. He loves to play with them, and they have been teaching him how to use his "hand" guns!

Feb. 26, 2012 - James in Boots

"Get your shoes on, James!" Well, close enough-they are shoes, just not yours.

Feb 22, 2012 - New Shed

 This is our new shed in it's box.
 This is our old shed in a pile.
This is our new shed all built and empty.
It was time for an upgrade. We couldn't stand up in the old one and kept hitting our heads.

Feb. 11, 2012 - Circus with Daddy and Grandpa

 Clara and James went to the circus with daddy and Grandpa.
 They were really close to the "bad cats" (according to James).
 Clara liked the cats walking on the tubes.
 The ring of fire was also really awesome. Clara was scared that the cat wouldn't make it through.
They had a really fun time!

Feb. 10, 2012 - Abbie's 7 Months

There she is! My little chubby-chubbers! She is getting so big!

Jan. 28, 2012 - Comfortable

James' definition of "comfortable".
