Working with Daddy!


Today we took the day off from school to go on sort of a field trip. Colton is learning about operating heavy equipment and we will be going on a hike.   For now Carley, Stetson and I are just watching and getting eaten up by Bugs! Ouch !!!

Our first Light Sussex chicks!

We incubated eggs from our own hens! I put 21 eggs in and only 4 hatched! We'll do better next time though. I am thinking a few of them just weren't fertile as our hens were really young! Anyway.. these four little guys are thriving! I guess they can't stay in the bathroom forever, so hopefully we will get something built for outside soon!

The kids are loving this new excitement! Can you tell?

Homeschool Day


Today we had our first day of PE, with a certified PE instructor! The kids had a blast and wore off a ton of energy. 




The highlight of the day seemed to be the "King Snake" that Colton brought for show and tell.   The kids crowded around him to touch it and Colton loved answering all their questions. 


Then Stetson found a cricket and was letting it crawl all over his shirt and thought it was so funny!  Can you see it??
