Branden's 6th Birthday!!!

Branden had been waiting to turn 6 years old since last September 9th when Donivan had his 6th birthday! February 6th finally came and we rarely do BIG birthday parties away from home but we decided to splurg and invite the whole family and a few of his friends to go bowling. We had a great time!



These little 6 year old boys could barely handle their 6 pound balls but with bumpers up, they got a few spares and strikes once they got the ball rolling down the lane.




It sure was fun cheering each other on!





Even the BIG kiddos had FUN!

A 6th birthday is not complete without SpongeBob!

BOYS . . . BOYS . . . BOYS . . . BOYS!!!!

There's that about small sons that quite unpins a mother's poise,
for even when they're quiet, she can hear them thinking noise!


My boys, Branden & Donivan; and my grandsons, Braxton, Sam & Peyton.


Trouble is brewing and noses go on the wall!


Boys are so noisey!!!


Braxton, how did you climb up there?



And then they grow up and become men and you couldn't be any happier!!!

WE HAVE EGGS!!! finally

Ten years ago when we moved into our home, we had a wonderful neighbor who gave us chickens that were already producing eggs. A monsoon storm blew through the neighborhood and blew our birds to "who knows where"? Eight years later we decided to give it a try again. After many months of patiently growing them from tiny chicks to chickens, our birds were finally mature enough to begin laying eggs. One problem - we had a dog that decided he wanted to eat those chickens! So off to the dogpound we went to deposit a "naughty" dog (which made mom very happy) and then we headed to the farm store and we started all over again with little tiny chicks. We finally had our first eggs in January. Mark and the little guys were so excited that they went down to the feed store and bought 10 more little chickens. They are growing on the back patio and will soon be ready to join the big chicks!

WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK DO CHICKENS HATE THE MOST?????
FRY DAY!!!!
