The Big 1-0

We celebrated a 10th Birthday today also!

Started with some presents.

 

 

And of course ended with some cake and ice cream!

 

Ten candles is a hard job, but he got it done.

Happy Birthday, we all love you Tate!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone.

The kids started the weekend off with a pancake feed and an egg hunt at church on Saturday.

 

 

Then on our way out to do chores on Sunday morning (after chocolate chip pancakes), there were more eggs to be found.

 

Tylynn sure did love searching for the eggs and putting them in her bucket.  Tate was a great brother who helped point out the tricky eggs and held her bucket.

 

We even found some in the barn!

 

And there were lot's of goodies in their Easter baskets.

All candied out!

 



 

Tylynn sure had fun dying some eggs.

 

And of course Tate loves being creative, so he always enjoys dying eggs.

Pork & Ham

We have two more additions to our barn yard!

Yes this is Porkie and Hammie, Tate's 4-H project for this summer.

 

 

They arrived at our house this weekend and are getting used to their new home.  Now the fun begins :)

Spring Break

It was spring break time around here this week for school.  So the kids sat around watching a few movies, and of course popcorn goes great with movies.

 

Tate was playing with Bugzie, and then Ty wanted to hold her, so Tate took a picture.

 

Eric has been occupied with his own little projects, not sure how many more he is going to make, but there has been an assembly line established ;)

 

He also made me my "drying rack", for our new and improved laundry room.

 

Also notice the new cover on my ironing board, that was my project a few weeks ago, I am currently working on curtains for the kids room.  More projects planned so will try and keep you updated.

New Chores

We are in the chore routine around here.

 

 

Every day we have to collect eggs.

 

But this weekend we added some new chores to the mix.

 

Wait for it. . . .

 

Meet Abby and Albert, the newest addition to our family. 

They are of the Nigerian dwarf origin, but we welcome them with open arms.

 

And they are getting used to their new home.

 

We love our new friends.

 

And Dad and Tate have already made a nice new hay feeder for them!

 

And now back to our other chores.
