Loye and Vaughn were so nice to come a few days prior to Reese receiving the Priesthood so they could help with our many projects around the house. We appreciate them coming to help. Vaughn and Scott were able to work on the sprinklers and on the chicken coop. Loye helped Mckenzie and I do our Saturday house cleaning...which was so nice. (Meili was asked by a doctor if she had 3 wishes what would they be....Meili thought about her answer for a bit and said with conviction, "..., I'd have a bunch of moms to help us clean and I'd work in a zoo" I understood her wisdom while Loye was here helping...it would be nice to have lots of moms help us clean each Saturday)
Davis loves, loves this basketball hoop that we have. We've had it for ages but it was not used at our last house. All day long we can here him bouncing the basketball and making shots. He hopes since he had his tonsils removed that he'll grow a lot so he can be an NBA basketball player or football player.
Reese went on his first camp out with his deacon quorum. He had a great time but came back absolutely beat. He spent the afternoon sacked out on the couch with his new ds Black and White Pokemon game that he received for his bday.
The little girls are absolute pack rats. They love to make messes and have as much stuff out as possible where ever they are. It is always interesting stuff...stuff I would not think of playing with...glad they are friends. They enjoyed sitting in their chairs, eating cheese its while watching the chicken coop take shape
In March we bought 12 chickens. We still have 11. They have been living in our basement in our water heater room. At first they were okay in the house but by about this size...it was time to get them out of the house. Scott has worked and worked on the chicken coop. He just said (5/20), "If I'd have known how much time this would have taken I would not have started it"...I said well I'm glad you did not know and he said he is too but, if he would have known... The chickens are fun...I'm not sure why but they are. I never have to get after someone to go take care of them because it is always done...not like a cat or dog that loses excitement when they get big...chickens seem to get better and better as they get older. They should start laying eggs in a month or so. We'll get an egg a day from each of them. A friend told me it is like Christmas everyday once they start laying and she never fights her kids to go gather eggs...they just do it...hopefully, we'll have the same luck.
