Silly videos

I got a new phone that has a video camera on it and I have loved being able to capture quick videos of silly moments. I thought I would share them here because they always make me laugh when I go back and watch them! The first is Saige. We had a sleepover here at my house. I pulled out Band Hero and she loved it! She became a master at "Kung Fu Panda" (as she put it) About halfway in her spunky side comes out!



Next is from when we went to feed the ducks. Once again Saige makes me laugh in this one! There is a lot going on with Kanyon and Cierra at first, but keep your eye on Saige in the background towards the end...check out that wind up!



Lastly is Toby. I mentioned before that he loved the chicken we brought home before. Well, we took him out to see the chickens the first day we got them and he tried to bite one of them! We have been slowly letting him get use to them since they will be in the backyard with him eventually. However, I think he is in love again! I get up in the morning and find him sitting by the garage door whining. The minute you open the door he is out there trying to see the chickens! I had to record it because I was laughing so hard at his reaction! Luckily he hasn't tried to eat them again, just sniffs them...Anyways, so here is his reaction to the chickens:


As I sit here and write this post he is sitting next to me crying because he wants to go outside to see the chickens again! Such a dork!

Apparently we are Farmers now!

So, Billy has decided that we are going to be farmers. We've always had a garden, and he's always complained that we didn't have enough room. Once we plant all of the plants that vine out there isn't much room left for the things that don't. So this year he got the brilliant idea of building container gardens to go on the other side of our house where I could keep my tomatoes, peppers, onions and other goodies. So now not only do we have our entire garden area planted, we have these dandy little containers to plant! I was able to plant plenty of tomatoes and peppers for the extreme amount of salsa I plan to make this fall!

Not only have we doubled our garden space we have also added a strawberry patch in the back corner of our house! This is the thing I am most excited for, I can't wait to make strawberry freezer jam!

We've also planted a little apple tree. I've always wanted one, but didn't know if I wanted to deal with the apples that drop on the lawn. However, I gave in because I really wanted one! So, hopefully within the next few years we will be over flowing with apples!
Last, but definitely not least, Billy built this little beauty:
This will be the new home for these little guys:
This is the one that I can't believe I allowed. I mean . . . chickens really? Billy has wanted to get chickens forever, but I kept telling him NO WAY! We had one chicken for about a day. Toby loved it, and actually spent the entire night outside laying next to it instead of inside sleeping! However, i just didn't want to deal with chicken poop, and all that jazz. So the chicken went back to his dad's house. Somehow Billy talked me into it this time and he went and got 3 chickens and a Turken (the one in the pic with no neck feather) So, I guess we will have eggs before to long!
So there you have it . . . apparently we are farmers now!

Aren't these kids the cutest?
