The last week in pictures

Carson managed to get himself stuck in this tinker toy container.



Morgan came to the rescue.

The boys have loved just turning the hose on and having a slip-n-slide fest in the mud. Its cute to watch them but I don't care for the cleaning them up part.


Who ever has told us that chickens do not have personality I could not disagree with them more! These little creatures are really cute and fun to have around and watch. One followed Mike around yesterday out back. And I love seeing them eat the bugs in our backyard.


The goats in the backyard roaming free. When we are working back there Mike lets them out so they can eat down our weeds. Its cute to watch them but you really have to watch them. They will so quickly wander over to the garden or my trees and start nibbling!

Food For Thought

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Are we in trouble?

Chicks

Mike brought home six baby chicks yesterday and the kids were getting familiar with them. Only Morgan was brave enough to hold one though.

They are really cute. True, we know nothing about them so its time to start reading. We are hoping by next year we will be having our own eggs! We shall see.

Holy Shiner

Cole in one of his hyper rants last night tripped and hit his head right on a railroad tie in the backyard! It made a horrific thud sound! It is very difficult to remain calm and not want to panic when things like this happen. I am so thankful that Micheal was there to take care of it. His little eyebrow swelled up like I have never seen before and he got a cut right by his eye.

After Mike got him washed off and the wound cleaned and bandaged he took him to urgent care just in case. (Minds well use that route while we still can.) The Dr. said he was fine nothing was damaged.

Wow but look at his shiner today! Poor little guy.
