Chicken Update

As you can see Jackson loves his new pets...

Many have been asking what we ended up naming the chickens; introducing....(From Left to Right) Doug, This One, Shirley, That One, Chicken, Laverne, and Jackson

When we were thinking of getting chickens we were only going to get 3. So we asked Jackson what he wanted to name them and he said "This One, That One, and Chicken". Since we ended up getting five Doug & I named the two Rhode Island Reds Laverne & Shirley.

Special Delivery

We decided to make some new additions to our family and they came Express Mail this morning.

These little babies had quite the journey from Connecticut. They hatched on Monday and off they went to their new home.

We recieved the call at 6:20 am this morning that they were waiting for us at the post office.

We are very excited to start bonding with our new family members. We have 5 chicks. 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Plymoth Rocks and 1 Easter Egger (Araucana)

More Swim Lessons

Jackson started a new session of swim lessons, this time with Daddy. It is amazing to see how much he has changed since the last time ....

First Snowcone

Jackson's new favorite sayings:

"Whatcha doin' Momma?"

Watcha doin' Daddy?"

"Mommy, What's that noise?"

He also loves telling us what he likes, car trips are now filled with I likes

(I like trucks, I like cows, I like airplanes, I like mixer trucks, I like birds) and I think it is safe to say that snow cones have been added to this list.
