Kids are mental..DO you see what they are doing?

Ok, so the kids are a little out there sometimes~The other day, I looked out the kitchen window, and I see the kids entertaining themselves--somehow I didn't think they would be skateboarding off a CHICKEN COOP~~~

Our new little slice of heaven~!!

Well, as of Sunday of last week, we were officially moved in to our new home in the country! Everyone in the family, down to the last kiddo LOVES where we are. Even my oldest daughter in our house at the time said " Isn't it beautiful the sunrise that God gives us every morning as she looks out her window". I couldn't agree more. Here is the beautiful sunrise that God DID give us the first morning we awoke in our new place.

Back of house

We are packing up and moving to the country~ Kids are thrilled..We are going to have tons of critters/ and farm animals and we can hardly wait~
We stumbled across a 3 acre property in the middle of NO WHERE~ The kids all want to do more 4-h and this way, they'll be able to do it~










Elijah says we need horses but I dont' see that happening anytime soon. The rest of the kids are a little more realistic and plan on cows, pigs, chickens, goats and rabbits. Oh, and a duck! Of course we can't forget our dogs, and cats from this house here.

My Daughter the Artist~Indiana State Fair

The ballerina picture won 1st place at the Indiana State Fair this year. The path won 4th place and the Rooster got an Honorable Mention.
The cows rec'd a Blue Ribbon w/ honors at the County Fair this year and the sketch of the Baby also rec'd a Blue Ribbon.
Addison has my mothers talent~ My mom painted for many years and it saddened me so much when she could not paint or draw anymore. When Addison was born I soon realized that she was blessed w/ my mom's talent! What a blessing it is to see my mom thru my daughter~

Eli's 3rd birthday!
