Back yard improvements

As many of you know Tim promissed me a chicken coop for Christmas.  The project took a back step to some unforseen circumstances, but it's almost done.  We refere to it as the Taj Mahal, there is nothing Beverly Hillbilly about this chicken coop! I'll do a full on post when it's toally complete, maybe I'll make Pinterest.  :)

Here is our little vegtable garden, let see how it fairs with my livestock.  We planted brocolli, peas, tomatoes, carrots, cilantro, bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Isabella helps water every day, which is an excuse for her to get wet in some capacity. 

I am a lucky gall to have a husband who loves her so much! 

Phase Two: The Cacoon

As you know we're obsessed with catapillers!!! We found one at Melissa's house this weekend and he's already working on a Cacoon. I can't wait to show Isabella when she wakes up!!

Random fun

Here are a few random pictures i took with my phone.

Abigail and Isabella sporting couture pipe cleaner sunglasses made by Tim Walker.

Isabella and Jacob were enjoying my moms homemade mango milkshakes.

Some moms might cringe at the thought of setting a child free with a yogurt, but not me. ;).

Our newest addition

In addition to our 6 chickens & one fish we now have a pet caterpillar. She named it after her neighbor Mairi.

Wonder if he'll turn into a butterfly in some time. Lets see just how hungry this little guy gets.

Father Daughter Date a la Chick-Fil-A

I can not believe it's been January since I've last blog.  It's hard to find the time to "put pen to papter" now that I have two young gils to tend to.  Refering to Abigail and Isabella as "girls" as opposed to babies is surreal, it seems like yesterday that we were bringing them home from the hospital. 

Chick-fil-a puts on a father daughter dates once a year in Feburary.  After a friend recomended it to me, I signed the girls up for a 4:30 dinner.  Tim and the girls had a wonderful time.  They had sit down service, fun coloring pages, a talking cow, and roses what more could the girls have asked for. 

This will be a family tradition moving forward. Our girls need to have a healthy relationship with their father, and hope these dates will set a high bar for whichever man they choose to spend their lives with. 

Chicks - 6 Weeks

 

You don't realize how fast time flies untill your around little critters.  These chicks are growing and growing fast.  Here are a few picture of my girls with our girls. 

Abigail gets so jealous when Isabella holds the chicks, she wants to do everything her big sister does.

So much fun!!!
