What is louder, 10 nervous chickens or 6 yapping dogs?

Maybe I'm a little biased by the beauties now located in our newly refurbished shed. We'll let you know when we have some eggs to share. Until then, cousins are welcome to come and take a peek through the chicken wire.

Happy Easter!

We had a really wonderful Easter, complete with colorful eggs and more candy than anyone could want. My favorite thing about Easter can be summed up in St Matthew 28:6 "He is not here: for he is risen as he said."
I also love this video:
His Sacred Name: An Easter Declaration

Also, the nursery lesson yesterday consisted entirely of singing "I am a Child of God" and this simple testimony, "Jesus Christ was resurrected. He lives and He loves you."

Hurray for Cousins!

For Spring Break Heather and Lorraine brought their 4 kids each over to our house for some fun in our back yard. After lunch, running through the hose, watermelon, and drying off, I put up our hammock for a little swinging.

It may be the first day of spring, but summer is coming on quickly, and we can't wait to spend more time with our best friends: family.

Claire and the Marshmallow

My sister Mary, who is much better at taking pictures and blogging regularly, has documented an event that happened at our parent's house a few Sundays ago. It is very cute, and includes current pictures of all three of my kidos. The Marshmallow Challenge Thanks Mary! We love you!

So, after struggling to get some shoes from her bottom drawer, Claire just said, "Double drats! I can't even get them out of the drawer!" LOL I love it!!
