Quick Update

I know it's been 3 weeks since we've posted but we've been going non-stop!

We had twin male goats born two weeks ago today. Their names are Tom & Jerry. They are so fun to sit & watch. I'll try to post pictures soon (at least it'll be soon in my world).

We had a second hen sitting on a clutch of 12 eggs. They were due to hatch this coming Tuesday but today when Lindsay went out to the chicken coop all the eggs were gone...just 4 days before they were supposed to hatch. We're not sure if a coon ate them or a dog(s). Regardless, we're disappointed we won't be enjoying new chicks next week. Looks like we'll be starting over if she's willing to sit on another clutch.

We also have 27 eggs in the incubator my dad sent to us. They are due to hatch a week from Sunday. This will be the first time we've used an incubator.

We have a hen that wants to be a mama so badly but every time she gets off her nest she sits on someone else's eggs. We're hoping she will adopt the chicks we're attempting to hatch.

This weekend we're having a few families from church over for a Memorial Day BBQ! Can't wait to hang out with everyone.

We really want to get the pool up before Monday but we're having a hard time getting dirt to level the ground before we set it up. It's already HOT here!!

I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!!

Happy Birthday Lindsay!!

Today is not just Cinco-de-Mayo...

It's Lindsay's 24th Birthday!!

What's on the agenda for her day of celebration?

Her  mom came in to town yesterday. Today us girls are going to Christopher's for brunch, then shopping, then back home to make her big birthday dinner.

After all the busyness we've had around here lately, we're looking forward to some fun!

Enjoy your day, Linds :)
