ASh Lee's new friend

Today while getting two more chicks at the feed store I made the mistake lol of letting Ash come with me. About an hour later we lift the store with 2 chicks and one cockatiel. It is really cute though he (or she) likes to sit with Ash Lee and the other kids. Hopefully the dogs and cats will leave it alone.

The Girls playing with the new chicks

Our lovely new chicks

Here are some of our new babys they are about 50 hours old in these pictures.

Our new chicken coop

We found a play house and bought it for a chicken coop. I then went in search of getting chickens to put into it. I could not believe the scarcity of chick right now. I found some on Murray Mc Murry and they would be coming three weeks later that did not please me so I went on a search even more and found some in New Mexico from Privet ranch I have not ordered from them in the past as I have always gotten from Murrary but they had them for this week Wed. What am I going to do with 25 chickens you may ask yourself with 6 kids (5 at home) 2 dogs, 2 cats and one husband? Well some are going to the Porters and some to the Twohigs. As I said chickens are in short supply in our country right now (maybe people are wanting to be more self relient now with the way prices are right now) anyways we look forward to our new additions the following photo is of Page's new additon his name is Stanly. Page came up and helped decorate the house for the chickens.

Thursday

Today while I was trying to get acquainted with photshop (which did not work well) Mikensie thought she would occupy herself with the dishes and Teagan with the doll house Grandma lent us. Teagan loves to play with doll houses. Kelty has had a fever while I was waiting for it to break and a rash/vomiting/runns to show up it did non of the forementioned and I later in the day saw not one not two but all four eye teeth coming in at the same puffy gumms just cutting through stage. Not fun no wonder why she will not let me enjoy my new additon of photoshop. So Friday it is off to the Drs. to see if she has the suspected ear infections that I think she has. I also washed the persian rug outside by hand and the girls had a blast playing in the bubbles and slipping on the porch.

Danny's wedding

The Newly weds!

On Friday my nephew Danny married a wonderful woman. They were sealed by Brother Welch from the Santa Cruz stake so it was great to see some one we knew seal them. They had a wonderful reception after as well. The family sure loved getting together again.

No transportation

We have been carless since Sunday night it has been miserable. As you can see my car is missing a shoe.

Happy Birthday Teagan!

Happy 3rd Birthday to you Teagan we love you so much!
We had the missionaries for dinner and had a Amish friendship bread (that is very moist just like a cake)


Here is Teagan getting ready to blow out her candles and as usually Marshall is going in for the swoop of blowing out the candles for her (he has the nasty habit of blowing out EVERYONES candles)

"I'm just like Amie"

Mikensie has been putting her bike helmet into her shirt everyday since she saw her cousin Amie over the Easter weekend. So finally today she got her picture taken with her baby in her tummy. I have been called Grandma by Mikensie and Teagan for about a week now and they have been having a blast being pregnant and nursing their babies. I'm not to sure I want to be called Grandma at this time I haven't even turned 39 yet!

Sunday Salamanders

This morning I went out to block a path that Jack has been able to sneak out of to go out of the yard and found these cuteies. I brought them in for the kids to see them, Kelty could not understand why she could not hold them though. I felt it better though as she is not to "Gentle" when it come to things. We are working on this though. We then went to church where amazingly Kirk, Teagan, Mikensie, Ash Lee and I all bore our testemonies (this is very rare for me). We left right after Sacrament though to go visit my brother in Hayward and to help him transport a new mattress to his house. For those of you who don't know my brother had renal cancer 10 years ago and just had a cat scan showed a 2 cm cyst on the same kidney and a gal bladder stone. He will see a specialist soon but we feel that he will be fine.We wanted to be with him and help support him in anyway we could. He bought a very nice mattress for the first time in his life and I'm sure he will enjoy it very much.
