Moments gone by.

Just a few of my favorites phone shots from September and October...

I just uploaded September and Octobers pictures to the computer tonight so... that is the first step toward completing more album pages for 2013.  My plan is to complete 2006 album before the end of the year.  My hubby had a great idea for finishing all the rest of the years without getting overwhelmed about it.  Just complete the months of each year during the same months of 2014.  So, just do January 07, 08, 09, 10, 11 during January of 2014.  Then do February of each year during February of 2014, and March during March, etc.  I think it's a great idea and I'm going to try it. With Randy traveling for business and with hunting season upon us, I will be not be seeing him much this month so... my goal is to get a whole bunch of album pages done.

Hope all have a good week, month ahead.

Keep on keepin' on! A.

A Cluck Cluck Here and a Cluck Cluck There

You can't really bring mother hens into a school classroom for show and tell, so recently I took these pictures of the kids so they could bring in a picture of themselves holding their chickens to show the kids in their class. They also brought in a few colorful hard-boiled eggs too. The kids and the teachers alike think it's a pretty cool show and tell...
Speaking of Mother Hens... Scurry on over to The Prairie Hen Speaks Her Mind and take a look at another of my favorite blogs. Raimie is having a super giveaway and it ends tomorrow!!! Now that's something to cluck cluck about!

P.S. Don't you hate it when you get whipped in the face by a chicken wing?


Me Too!

Baby Chicks

This time we decided to go with all one kind of chicken. At the store we ended up with 13 blackstar and one buff cochin ( a pet for Kyla).

I had to go back and look at this post. Wow, how the kids have changed since our first batch of little chicks we got in April 2007. But they were as excited as if it was the first time to get chickens ever! So far all the new baby chicks are doing fine.

Painting the Chicken Coop

Here is a picture of my paint splattered face after I painted the inside of the chicken coop. I had to wait for Randy to get home from work with some more mineral spirits to get my mess cleaned up.

Growing Fast

The Chicks are growing and losing there downy feathers.


The kittens are growing fast too. Colter named this one Tiger...
