Our Beautiful Monday

We got a new couch finally!! It is a very comfy sectional.
I am so glad that we finally have somewhere to sit.

What a difference a few weeks make. Today was so beautiful.
The boys had fun playing in their sandbox.

Flowers are even starting to pop up! Yeah!

A few of our chickens enjoying a nice walk in the sun.

Ehric helping me stack some wood.

Daddy and a friend having some fun of their own.

The boys and I went for a walk in the woods with neighbor friends.

Easter 2009




We had a pretty relaxing Easter. When the boys got up they each searched for treats from the Easter bunny. It was a lot of fun to watch them as they made new finds. We read some books about Jesus at breakfast. Later in the morning we decided to all go for a walk and took our dog, Nanook, along. Aiden suggested we get chinese food for lunch so after our walk we went to our favorite Chinese buffet. The boys ate really good after the long walk. In the evening we went to my parents house for dinner. Oh yeah, and hubby used the bee hive pan I gave him for his birthday to bake my birthday/Easter cake! I think it was a great day and we didn't even get dressed up!

A Walk In the Yard

Today was a chilly and wet day but Ehric wanted us to go spend some time outside. So we bundled up and headed outdoors. We had fun walking around the soggy yard looking for signs of spring and collecting chicken feathers for our nature table.




The boys had fun riding their trikes.

























We discovered some crocus shoots and the start of rhubarb. They posed for me in front of our new bee hives (we will getting the bees between April and May.) We took a picture of our house from the neighbor's driveway--right before Aiden fell in a huge, cold puddle!) After I got Aiden into a hot tub we took stock of our feather collection!
