Set with the poultry!

As Chandler so aptly put it to Joey on Friends, "you know Joe, I think you're set with the poultry". We have gotten ourselves into the fun of owning chickens as of today!  Thanks Corey! !   :-)
The kids were thrilled today to go out when they woke up and see the chickens! ! We got two laying hens from our friend Corey, and Daddy built a coupe out of a large shipping crate! Here are some pics of the kiddos meeting the new source of their hot breakfasts!  B-bug said, "Mommy, we're going to have a garden soon, and we have a shed and chickens, I guess we're becoming farmers! " LOL, I guess so B!

Teamwork!

just a little bit higher T-man! I want the juice box on the top shelf!
I suppose I am always a proponent of teamwork! Somehow, I knew this day would come.  ;-)

Our Snow Day

On Tuesday the first of February, Brian stayed home from work because of the snow!! We had a perfect day together as a family, Daddy got to do school with us, and play all day!! We watched a movie snuggled on the sofa and had a memorable time together playing in the snow. I love unexpected special treats like this was! Here's a few pics of our day together.

My Little Trenton

Trenton my love, You are my sweet monkey man. I love to start my day with your precious "Hi Mommy" when I get you out of bed.  You love to snuggle and I hold on so tight every time, as I thank the Lord for each day He gives me with you.  Thank you for the countless joys you bring with your contagious giggle, your determined and mission-focused exploring play, and your tender hearted touch that gently places a kiss on my nose as you hold my cheeks in your tiny hands.  I pray the Lord soon enraptures your soul and makes you a mighty servant for His kingdom. You are such an amazing gift Trenton I will always love you my baby.
Love,
Mommy

My Sweet Brayden

Brayden my sweet love. I wanted to capture some of the many faces of you, the faces that make me laugh as I see your happy spirit shine forth. You have brought us more joy than I ever could have imagined was possible. I love your happy, easy-going personality, your way of making your brother giggle like no one else can. You are ever imagining, ever playing, and always a blessing to me. I thank the Lord for you daily and pray that He would make Himself beautiful to you, that you would be called to Him and live your life in His service for His glory. I will always love you baby. Love, Mommy

  "Brayden, this makeup is very important and fragile, and it's not for you to touch okay?" Brayden: yes maam'"
  20 minutes later... Hmm, I'm thinking it got touched, aren't you? But, I was rather impressed with his skills!! aah well...lol!

Mommy's Photo Shoot

Ok, so it's true, planning and putting together outfits for my precious children is one of my favorite hobbies. My Dad says, you always loved dressing your baby dolls, I guess now you're getting to dress live baby dolls"! Well, you're exactly right Dad, and this is WAY more fun! ;) So, this particular day my sweet boys looked very photo worthy to me, so here they are. I love these happy children with my life!! Thank you awesome God for each of them!

A couple of Saturdays ag0 our dear and lifelong friend Megan came to visit for the day! We hadn't seen her in years, so she got to meet Trenton, and Ethan and Mason for the first time and we got to meet precious, nearly 1 year old Riley!! What a great day we had together! Brian and I are SOO grateful for precious freinds who are also brothers and sisters in Christ, like Megan!
