Busy Spring

Got some Bantam chicks, there like mini chickens, so cute and they get the feathers on there feet which is so cool. Just hope I didn't get any roosters. THE GARDEN!!!!! I long time coming, I love it , it is the coolest garden ever! My husband rocks!!

My little baker made cookies from start to finish the other day, they actually were really good!! I caught her just before she was about to put a Tablespoon of salt!

The major hail storm we had last week, broke shingles on the roof, put tons of dents in the tin roof over the deck, dented up my truck, it was pretty bad. The plants in the garden did ok, cant say the same for the chicken we lost :( My truck is already in the shop, and all the roofs are going to be replaced, hopefully before Maddens birthday party next month! I don't want a mess everywhere!!


This is one of the "ice balls" as the bays were calling them. Poor Madden, it was so loud hitting the roof he started to cry and then for the rest of the day he was telling everyone, and I mean everyone "Ice balls scare me!"
The view of my front yard and the dozer that was working on the driveway, which turned out great and the kids have been ridding there bikes almost everyday.
We also had a YW overnight camp out in our back yard over the weekend. I am the ward camp leader, fun calling cause I love to camp and Love being in YW. It was a lot of fun, Zander had a blast hanging out with the girls and sleeping with mom! We went canoeing in the morning down the river, no one wanted to get wet because the water is still real cold, well just the leaders canoes got tipped over!! The water was freezing!!! But it was so fun, I haven't been down the river in 15 years!! Sad I know since we live 5 min away! I have been to the river but just not able to tube or canoe it in forever!! So I was excited and in was beautiful with everything being so green from all the rain. And the river was full and flowing nice and fast, usually takes 2 hours to float from one park to the other but we did it in a little over an hour! Must tube it when it gets warmer and I want to get wet!!
I will be busy until July with getting things ready for Girls camp in July, we have things we have to make and a hike that we have to do before going. I'm so excited though, I just love going to camp!

Wow, look at that hail!! Poor little Madden, I'm sure those suckers were LOUD...and your poor chicken, too! Yeah, try dodging those when you're that size. Your chicks are adorable. I want one.

You would be a great camp leader! I remember all the Girls' Camps and High Adventures... yeah, I can definitely see you in that calling :) I love the Guadalupe, your canoe trip sounds so fun! It's so cool how close to the river y'all live. Also, (since my comment's not long enough) that is one awesome garden.

I love that you have chickens, a super garden, a new driveway, hail storms, a great calling, and some really cute kids. I am just a little jealous!
