i think all of our chickens are finally laying. including the easter eggers (americaunas), who lay greenish-blue eggs. anna still loves yo gabba gabba. mostly brobee. as evidenced by this picture. heather and her girls came over to play the other day. livy loves our chickens. anna is pretty crabby lately. we see this face […]

#ikes6thbdaysleepover
so, rather than have a big expensive blowout party for ike, we decided to let him invite three of his best pals over for a sleepover. after a lot of careful thought (and me nixing girls, mixing school and church friends, and way older kids), he came up with alden, william and josiah. which works […]
six.
yesterday was this guy’s birthday: i made him pose for various pictures in front of the chalkboard. i woke up early (well not really. i skipped the gym and actually woke up later. but i digress.) and made him bacon and pancakes. his favorite. and i made him eat in his underwear because i didn’t […]
the rock star.
ike’s buddy (and my friend’s son), jesse had a big 5th birthday bash today. and i got to make the cake. well, decorate it. it was a costco cake, saving me a lot of hassle. and, kim sent me a picture of what they wanted, so i really had it easy. anyhoooo…. here’s the cake. […]
boring blah january.
not a lot going on around here. it’s january. cold. boring. blah. we’re in the full swing of keeping our extra little buddy in the afternoons. he’s so cute and fun. both of my kids love him and i think he really likes hanging with us. he especially loves the chickens and collecting eggs. a […]
instagrammy and such
not much to report from around here. if you follow me on instagram, this will mostly be redundant. but, there’s a few new pictures thrown in… i don’t know if i’m overlapping other posts, but i’m too lazy to look back and see… anna and lucy. anna got this little drawing board for christmas, from […]
christmastime was here.
but, you probably already knew that. rewind to sunday. actually saturday night. our church had “family services” all weekend. where the kids get to come in and distract everyone around them and our pastor just talks a lot louder and it’s cute and fun and christmassy and all that. :). anyhoooooo. we went to that. […]
ymca santa series.
at the clemmons ymca, there’s a giant blowup santa near the door. every time i drag anna to the gym, she insists on taking her picture with the giant santa. following is the entire collection of these pictures. sadly, they took santa down last week. i don’t know why. he did seem prone to flailing […]
eggs!!!! (instagram style).
on wednesday, we were pleasantly surprised to find our first egg waiting for us in the nesting boxes. we’re pretty sure that chickensarahpowers (the rhode island red) is the proud mom. we weren’t really sure when to expect eggs because we’ve heard different things about how the cold of winter affects their egg production and […]
gingerbread house construction school party
yesterday was isaac’s last day of school before christmas vacation. or i guess, “winter break”. anyhow, they had a gingerbread house making party and i got to go hang out with iike and 16 of his best buddies while they crammed as much candy onto a feeble graham cracker structure as they possibly could. rewind […]
