I'm approaching the end of our kitchen renovation. I have yet to post pictures on the progress, because I really want to be able to show the whole finished product with some build-up of "along the way" photographs. Since this project seems like it's been stretched out over months and months (kinda because it has...), I'm more than ready to be done with...Read More
Back row: Rand-dad & DD Front Row (L-R): Sawyer, August, Brooklyn, Avery & Merrick Wearing Cousin Camp shirts designed by my talented husband, Kyle! This year, a tradition was born. The 1st Annual Cousin Camp came to fruition this week. (Technically, Wednesday - Saturday). There are currently 17 cousins if I'm not mistaken, many of whom are far too young to leave the...Read More

They started on Tuesday morning and go through Friday, June 12th. Only Brooklyn and August are taking them right now, and they are 45 minute lessons during...Read More

Definitely not places...Read More
Our new chickens are funny little ladies. There are 6 Light Brahmas and 5 Auracana-Americanas, and they have decided they don't like to leave the chicken hen house. I'm not sure why, because their little run is a nice place, too. Perhaps because we've had almost non-stop rain ever since they were moved into the coop - they simply don't want to venture...Read More
In typical Memorial Day tradition, we spent the past weekend at the Farm, although it was a smaller crowd than usual! Josh and Lauren just added their fourth child to their family (a girl, Hazel, born May 18th), so Lauren stayed home and settled in with her newborn. Chad and Melissa and their kids were getting over a stomach bug and decided not...Read More
