I made Tiffany this blanket and so, of course, Talen had to have his picture taken as well.

Talen loves to wear boots. Going with and being just like Daddy are what he loves most (unless he needs a cuddle with Mommy).


Easter morning after all the eggs were found. We spent the rest of the day with Tyrin's parents and Shalayna listening to conference. Then the missionaries came for a good ham dinner. It was a good day.


This is Tyrin's new horse trailer.
Okay.....okay.......I'm sorry........I'll try to do better. Yeah, .....I know it's been almost a year.....well, I just, you know, get busy with stuff and.........I know that's kind of a pitiful excuse........okay so it's a REALLY pitiful excuse. Sheesh, I already apologized.......what more do you want?.........Oh......okay, well...........I suppose I could at least post a picture every now and then............what?.......well, I guess I could go for at least once a month. Still friends?...........Awesome.

Our baby chicks arrived today! We ordered 25 chicksfrom Welp Hatchery. They're Buff Orpingtons. The kids have been looking forward to this for far too long(by their recollection). We got a call from the post office saying they were in, and my older children were so miffed that they wouldn't be able to see them until after school. Which is probably for the best, I don't think the chicks could handle all 6 at once. Only a few more months until we can butcher them and have fresh meat! Although we are keeping a few for eggs. I think that next time we order a couple on fancier breeds for fun. I'd like to get the kids invoved in 4-H , and this is a good way to start. Talen didn't know what to think at first, I tried to get him to hold one for a picture, but he kept backing away. Tiffy wouldn't hold one in her hand either, she says their feet poke her hands too much. I'm going to have to set some limits or the chicks will get TOO much loving.
