This weekend we moved the little ladies to the back yard and put the ramp in the coop so that they could walk down and play in the dirt below. The girls were loving being able to be chickens, once they could play in the dirt the were almost instantly taking dust baths and scratching. They were some happy little…
Hubby has been working every hour that he is home on getting the ladies coop built. Granted hubby has been out of town a lot which means that our weekends and coop building mania.

Five… say it is not so!?! Middle brother turned five years old today and he for the last week has been relentlessly asking me when he gets to go to kindergarten.

Now that my boys are a little older and I am feeling like a few new clothes would be nice however living on a tight budget,…
I was asked this week to take pictures for my neighbor and her family. I always feel so privileged when I am asked to take pictures for someone’s family. I don’t really know what I am doing, I have been only snapping pictures of my family and so I am floored when someone asks me to take their pictures. Well,…
The last two days have been testing days for big brother which meant that he didn’t have school. This momma needed to keep her boys busy so we packed each day full of stuff and this morning we went to the park and invited the neighbors to join us. We spent almost four hours at the park. The boys played…
I have days where I have to stop what I am doing to remember just how blessed I am. I have three wonderful little boys that day by day are growing into wonderful men. I have to pinch myself at times to remind myself that I am a mom, let alone a mom of three boys. I feel very fortunate…
