chickens






Ok so I have always wanted to try and have chickens. Some of our friends had some chickens and they are moving so I asked if I could purchase their chickens and they said that we could have them. So here are our chickens there are six of them. Kind of a funny story goes along with the chickens.
Steve "I am starting to finally feel like I belong in Utah."
Emily "Ya why is that?"
Steve "Because I now have chickens."
I thought that it was kind of funny.:D

We went to the air show in Ogden on the 6th of June. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a ball going and seeing all of the airplanes. And watching the planes do tricks.



Daniel loves to be a big boy. He was helping Steve mow. And just so you all know it wasnt on when he was by himself. But he sure did love playing with it. :)

Its been a while let me update.

First I want to thank everyone for helping me with my back yard. it is looking good except for one part not sure why that part is turning brown when all of the rest is good I even went out there and hand watered it sigh. I need to call my brother and ask a few questions. anyways, we are so excited to have some room to play in our back. :) i need to take pics so they will be added a little later.
Shenna is walking she has been walking for about 2 weeks and she is JUST 10 months. I keep thinking why is my last baby growing up faster then my others? Of coarse that is because she has to catch up to the other kids. Sigh!!! oh well I am actually loving it and she is soooo cute. Oh and she is doing stairs also. She hates practising going down the stairs but once they learn to go up I teach them to go down so that there is no falling. Anyways she hates that part.
Karissa is as cute as ever. Her new thing she does that is sooo cute is when she asks for something and she gets her way she will whisper "yesss" it is sooo cute. And she to is going up. She now jumps on the tramp with the big kids and no longer cries. She keeps up pretty good. She has snuck over to the older kidses friends houses with out my knowing. Ya now I have to make sure that she isn't with them when they leave the house.
Daniel is doing well he is out of preschool and is now being really home taught with the others. I wasn't really doing much with him because he was in school. Anyways, time to get him started. : )
And the girls Martha and Corlie. They are starting dance lessons tap and ballet. They are so excited they can hardly see strait.
I am feeling a little overwhelmed with my house so we are going to be working on cleaning out and we will be having a yard sale so come. : ) That will be happening sometime this month. I will update on the dates. I am also slowly getting into reading the classics. They are great books but I am read out so it is taking longer then it usually does. But that is ok.
Steve is well he needs to get a new counciler because one of his moved. Husbands watch out. lol! j/k He wants to go into emergency management. We shall see what comes of that. He hasn't really pursued that yet just talk.
I am missing my girl friends and need to really start doing girls night. I also need to start doing my scrapbooking again. I really do love doing it and I have got to "just do it" for those of you who don't know that is my theme. : ) that is why I always get in to trouble. : ) I also really want to start finishing my basement. I know what some of you are thinking ya like your house isn't big enough. Well I would like to have a play room where the kids can have their toys and also have a scrapbook room : ) we shall see about that part.
Well I really need to get going. Got to get this place cleaned out. : )
Pics will follow a little later.

green smoothie

Hi all, I have this new shake that I make and my kids asked for it for dessert!!!
raw spinach, place in blender till full. Add just enough water to make it blend. Not to much. Blend
1-2 bananas to make it smooth and any kind of fruit strawberries are good and so is pineapple.
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder,
2Tbsp ground flax seed.
blend till smooth and enjoy
The fruit should be the same amount as the spinach. And they get their fruit and veggies all in one sitting. its fab. and soooo good. enjoy!!!
This can last 2 days in the fridge. Ours doesn't make it to the fridge. : )

The other day I was upset and was yelling. Yes I have a habit of doing that but I have been doing better. Anyways, Karissa says to me "Mommy don't be a monster, be a mommy, mommy!!!" That made me laugh. She can be so cute!!!
anyways, thought that I would share that with you all.
Have a great day.
Emily
