Emma Turned 7 and the "plastic pants"

The babies love being together. Suzanna can roll over now as of the 17th. Travis loves wearing the vinyl underwear as a fashion statement. You never know what the kids will do! He cries to have me put them on! He is so funny! More plastic pants! He will hate me in a few years for this!
Emma turned 7! She had a great birthday and got spoiled by all! It seems like yesterday I held her in my arms in Green River, Wyoming where we lived when she was born. Now she can read, ride a 2 wheeler and even make fun of her crazy parents! Life just wouldn't be happy without our Emma Lou!




The Chicken Coop

This is the almost completed chicken coop. There is a neat flap on the right side that are the laying boxes. It will make it easier for the kids to get eggs. There are a couple of windows that can be closed when it is cold and let air circulate when it is hot. The run is almost done...just need wire or netting on the top and a door. If we did netting then we could have pheasants and quail also. Kevin did a great job and it wasn't easy since we used mostly old lumber. We saved a ton of money though!

more Easter

Easter kids, Emma was sick. Awww......


Easter

This is at the community Easter egg hunt. The Easter bunny is in our ward. I think his costume is a little worn out! Coloring hands, I mean Easter Eggs!

Even baby girls can wear camo (with pink)

I'm not sure if Suzanna liked wearing camoflage but she looked really cute with the pink hoodie. We got a little Hereford/Red Angus steer last weekend. It sticks by our horse's side. He is pretty fiesty. We are raising him for meat. The kids are excited to do 4-H someday and this is good practice. I will post more pics and videos next week. I am finding it is hard to capture the kids on video. They freeze whenever I point the camera at them. I will have to be sneaky!
