my new fish

My Mother’s Day was a fun and relaxing one! The family let me sleep in and I awoke to my daughter and hubby making me homemade pancakes {not from a mix!} with blackberries and bacon – yum!

A Rooster named Gimli (and a couple of chicks) #ww

Henrietta and her new chicks

I do believe that my rooster, Gimli, thinks that he was born to be in front of the camera. Everywhere I go outside, he follows me — peeking around corners, photo-bombing post pictures and generally ALWAYS getting in the shot! Then, I can’t help but take more photos of him. His black . . . → Read More: A Rooster named Gimli (and a couple of chicks) #ww

Wordless Wednesday - Chicken chasing and my hubby #ww

love my Ginger-Dog

My silly hubby thinks he can get away with these types of things. The chickens keep running down the road and over to the neighbor’s yard so hubby has been using the lawn mower to wrangle them back into the yard. Um… really?

He actually said these words to me when he noticed me standing on the porch (words in the . . . → Read More: Wordless Wednesday – Chicken chasing and my hubby #ww

a turtle in our driveway

Gorgeous turtle that crawled out of the ditch looking for water. We re-homed him in the creek down the road.

Hubby got out the 1974 Goldwing. We took it for a short test drive up the road. Ahhh!

Such a silly girl!

The kids were messing around with optical illusion . . . → Read More: Wordless Wednesday – Totally random Friday photos #ww

Wordless Wednesday - And the fun never ends #ww

fun with a box

I see lots of moms mention how much their little ones love boxes. The box usually gets played with more than the toy that came in it. I just thought I’d tell you that THE BOX never gets old. My kids love the box. They’re weird.

boxes are awesome WOOOHOOOOO

{almost} Wordless Wednesday - the making of the rainbow cake

rainbow cake

When I saw an adorable rainbow cake on Pinterest awhile back, I knew that we would have to try making one of our own! St. Patrick’s Day was the perfect time to bake up this colorful treat and I think that my daughter Pie did a wonderful job! We had a bit of a mishap with the baby cake…

Wordless Wednesday - raindrops, rooster and a sunset

chickens under the bird feeder

It’s been an up and down week but I’m still doing well with keeping up on the #marchphotoaday meme on Instagram. In between the few rainy days, we’ve had some absolutely gorgeous out-of-the-norm ones reaching temps near the mid 60′s! The chickens love it and take every opportunity to sneak up front to scratch around the bird feeder. . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – raindrops, rooster and a sunset

{almost} Wordless Wednesday - Son's drawing + horrible iphone photos

smile

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook or a Twitter follower, then you may have already had a peek at most of this week’s photos. Sorry! I’m sharing them anyways because they’re all I’ve got. Plus, I especially love the one of my boy. I so rarely have the chance to get a good photo of my ever-growing teenager.

Harlem-Globetrotters-Tullio-Arena-2012_th

We had a great family night out on Tuesday! We went and saw The Harlem Globetrotters at Tullio Arena!

This is the second time we’ve gone to see them and it was still funny. Last year we had awesome seats right up front but for some reason the seating chart was NOT right on . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – Harlem Globetrotters at Tullio Arena
