Hippity Hop Hop

I can't believe that I'm just now able to update out Easter post. I've tried three different times this week and because of my extinct dinosaur of a computer it wouldn't let me.

Ever since we got our baby chicks from the farm store, I feel like we have a little bit of Easter everyday :).

Here's what our nine babies our doing every time we walk into the pump house

 So we've had quiet the chicken fiasco since we've moved to Kalama. We had five chickens from our friends Garrett & Amy; four of those got ate one day while out roaming the yard. Then with just one lonely old lady (Bess - the checkered one in the bottom of the photo) we decided to check craigslist for some more. We found 4 more pullets (not yet laying chickens) and then 3 of those got ate. Now they are pretty much in lock down, really getting out of their pen. Though we got some baby chicks this spring, I was nervous for our one pullet (Oreo - top of photo) because Bess no longer lays eggs and I didn't think Oreo would now what to do and where to do it come laying time. But she surprised us on Monday with her first EGG!!

Easter at my Mum & Jim's is always crazy, there's always good food, and the kids love it

 And there off!!

Gwynn & Payton's cousin Beau loves joining the craziness on Easter. We always love having him and his parents over too. He's such a riot. His mom, Tarah is pregnant with twins - looking gorgeous but I'm a little nervous for her to have two more Beaus :)

 

 Though Amelia was a little young for egg hunting she loved soaking up the sun. I can't believe how cute this girl is

 Then to wear the kids out more we walked over to the park. Gwynn & Payton also got new bikes so they were all jacked up to ride them (except for when they wanted to walk the dogs). Don't let this little man foul you, at almost 4 years-old he is a biking machine - 2 mile rides with dad around town and even hitting up the easy mountain trails when dad lets him go!!

One word...... STUD

I posted this next picture to show how spoiled my mister is and a super easy idea I thought of. Instead of buying jello packs, I decided to just buy the box jello and pour it into small jars. Works pretty good so I think I'm going to do pudding to.

Hope everyone had a good Easter. We've also started announcing our wedding party!! I've told all my girls and the kids in the wedding to, but more on that later....
