The Chicken Coup

So, I thought it would be great to get some chickens this year, which meant we would need a coup and my husband really ran with it. The stones for the foundation came out of the woods behind our field.
10 X 10, which means I can have a nice size flock. Plus there will be a fenced yard for them. It will be so cool and I will post more pics as we complete different phases.

Vacation in California

We went out to California for a week to see family and attend Archer's blessing. It was great to see Debi's family.
We went to the zoo with Mark's family, and fed the giraffes. The boys said they would rather not do that again.

Wow, that turtle was sure big!!!

Ronan and Odin.

Archer on Grandma's lap again.

My hubby, his brothers and nephew in law helping Mark out on his addition.

Ray taking stock of the project...

These old guys complain all-the-time!!!!

What did I get myself into?

Odin and Ronan were big helpers too.


The view is great.

Long shot of the addition.

The Joists going up.

A bit of relaxation after Mark's slave driving all day. Ray was an awesome race car driver.

Ron, Russ and Justin playing Wii.

Ray's truck was stuck in the snow Sunday morning after it had snowed all the night before.

On the way to church we had a bit of snow too.

Church on Sunday for the blessing. Ray, Russ, Odin, Ron and Mark.

Baby Archer being so sweet.


Ronan caught holding still for two seconds.

Ummm...snow cones from fresh snow!!!
