Chickens!

Here is an update/post thingy on our chickens...
Each night we are trying to get the BIG chickens used to the little chickens. The babies are curious about the bigger chickens and want to do what they are doing. It is so cute!


Six big ones and one tiny one!


All of the chickens together! 

Mom got the babies to eat out of her hand!


Oreo and Meredith decided dad's arm looked like a good place to sit.

While mom and dad were on chicken duty, I was watching Kaitlin while she swam.
This is what I said while mom was taking the picture:
"Yup! This is how I babysit!"

Update!!

We also opened our pool!! YAY!!

Happy (Late) Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I know this is sooo late, but better late than never, right?

Here is mom's presents!


"Ooh! What is it?!"
 
 "A...card."

"Look, the perfume!"

 "YOUR WELCOME, MOM!!"

Mom got this from all her granchildren.

And this from Jake and Ashley.

Tadpole and Caterpillars

Oookay! So on May 7th we got a tadpole! Through the 'Grow-A-Frog' program.
His/Her name is Slick. 
You can't tell if a tadpole is male or female, you have to wait till it's full grown.


There he/she is!
All the accessories! 
Putting Slick in the water, gently.

 Feeding Slick...

Feels like home right?

AND we got caterpillars on May 5th.


Kaitlin and I have named them (we don't have specific names for specific caterpillars just names.. and caterpillars).. Sunny, Icy, Snapdragon, Kolo and Kale.
