Well, they grew up like all things do.... They are now about full grown and ready to lay eggs in about 6 weeks! We all love to watch them explore the yard, fight over bugs, get scared and RUN for their coop, and they are so curious and friendly... I am pleasantly surprised. :)
Joseph reading the "cheer card" After getting his awards
Joseph was SOOO excited for his first pack meeting! He was so excited to get his awards and to "be like the other boys". They had lots of fun and he is all geared up to work on scouts!
So... I am a sucker for baby animals! Shawn was very nice to "let" me get 6 baby chicks this year. The kids were so excited and have played with them everyday. They each got to give a name for a chicken (they all belong to all of us) They are Joey, Hercules, Margaret, Elizabeth, Elmer, and Annie. There are 3 white, 2 "golden", and 1 black. We are almost done with the coop and I am SOOO excited!
The girls and I (and our girly friends) went to see Princess Amerah! She was so cute and quite the princess! The girls loved it and wished they knew her whole song....
Every month the kids get to do an oral report. This month was on tall tales. Sarah chose El Dorado and Joseph chose Paul Bunyan. It is always so fun to listen to them and watch them "present" themselves and their report.
Jacob turned one this week! He is so cute and fun. He loves to tease, get into things, play with the kids, and make noise. He is almost walking and has finally learned to crawl "normal". We are so glad we have him!
This week we went to the new exibit at the Church History Museum. It is Awesome! The kids would have stayed all day if I let them. We went with our friends so it was even more fun! There are dresses and headbands for the girls, vests for the boys, games, activities, etc..... GO SEE IT!!
We are a CRAZY but having fun being that way family. We have 6 kids. They are Sarah-12, Joseph-10, Hannah-8, Caleb-6, Jacob-3, and Lydia -14 months. We love animals and the outdoors, and homeschooling!
