The Science Fair

The boys decided to do a project together for their school's Science Fair this year.  They did some research together about the earth's natural filters and then tested them.  They did a great job presenting their project at the school and we all had fun learning!  

A Day Away

The kids had short days at school for parent teacher conferences, and we decided we should plan a little day trip. So we headed about an hour out of town to beautiful place called Walla Walla.  We went to the children's museum there, and then walked around the town a little to the toy store and ice-cream shop after eating at a fun pizzeria!  It was such a fun day to be with our great friends- a much little getaway:)  We all had such a fun day!

The Boys & Their Chicks

The Chicks got to go outside and play for the first time today- The boys were so excited, (and so was I since I've been dying to take a couple of pictures of them with the chicks in their new yellow striped shirts I got for $2.08 on the target clearance rack:).  It's been warming up and their feathers are coming in fast.  We're starting work on the chicken coop tomorrow, so it won't be long before they're living outside.  We are having so much fun watching them grow and enjoying our new little friends! 

Livin' the Farm Dream

We are so excited that spring is here- we decided to get chickens for our yard!  We've wanted to for years, and yesterday after seeing them at the feed store we couldn't wait anymore!  The boys were so excited and had them named before we left the store.  We brought them home and got them all set up.  It will be a few weeks before they can be outside so we are going to build a coop for them next to our garden.
Nate also replaced the motor on the old tiller that was passed down to us, and it runs like a dream now.  We are so excited to have the farm feel right here in our little corner of the world.

Kid's Workshop

The first Saturday of every month our local Home Depot does a kids workshop that the boys absolutely love to go to.  They get to build a project by themselves that they get to keep.  We're 3 for 3 so far this year.  I love watching them work- they concentrate so hard!  I had to get a few pictures of the action...

Grandmas & Their Grandsons

Our boys are so lucky to have Grandmas that live so close and that they're able to know and spend time with!  They have two amazing grandmas that love them and make life special for them.  They got to spend some fun time last weekend with both of them and I had to get a fun picture with both of them.  Thank you Grandma Mac & Granny Janny for all you do- You are both angels!
