My kids were born to live on a farm

With their love of chickens, cows, and horses, my kids were born to live on a farm. If Scott had his wish we would be living in Idaho near the Snake River on a huge plantation miles away from everyone. No Malls, no people, just livestock and plants. We went to the Sackett Family Reunion this weekend and they had horses their for the kids to ride. My kids loved it. McKenna went twice! I definately did not go on a ride. Too scarry for me. But they loved it. Its ok they will get another chance this weekend when the county fair gets here!

Christmas in July

My mom got the kids for Christmas this year a swing set. And the kids love it. After three days of putting it together. I am guessing three days total, but literally took a week, it is finally completed. The kids go on it every night and love to play in their fort. Thank you Yai Yai and Grandpa, we love it.

Welcome new member of the family!

Just kidding. Maggie had attacked one of Mason's chicken....Susan. We ended up getting him a new chicken. She is a bantam cochin. which in english means "miniature chicken" so no matter what Mason will always have a baby chicken. He is really excited about the new chickens. We bought two. One for Mason and he named his Dena. One for McKenna and she is calling hers Candy. Currently they are laying the tiniest little eggs, so cute. Cochin chickens are known for being pet chickens. So hopefully these little guys last for a while. The other chicken in this photo is one of the surviving rhode island red chicken and her name is Ruby.

Mason counting down

Mason cannot wait to go to preschool. He keeps asking, is it time yet? i let him know it is another month and after Labor Day. I bet when he starts he will not want to go, but this school he is going to is music based which is good for him and they do science class, and has pet frogs in the class. He seemed really excited when we stopped by to visit. Orientation is sometime this month....i wonder if we are ready for him to start? :)
