No gifts?


We were sitting at the dinner table tonight. Out of nowhere Thomas asks Nicole, "didn't you open gifts on your birthday"? She started to explain to him her gift was coming in the mail but I interrupted her. I said very seriously, "Thomas, we decided not to give anyone birthday gifts this year. Daddy didn't get gifts this year, and Nicole didn't open any gifts"! You should have seen his face. His birthday is coming up in 2 weeks! The photo is from Thomas' last birthday spent in Thailand. This year he turns ten in Holland. He has been sleeping with the Lego catalog under his pillow!

That is so funny. Macie kept asking me what I was going to get her for her birthday and I told her I would get her a new rock. You should have seen the look on her face!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
