Preening time!

 

Meet our new babies, Copper, Chihiro, and Koshi.

Koshi is a Blue Cochin.

Chihiro is a Silver Gray Dorking

Copper is a fisty one.  She loves to perch on our shoulders.  She is a Speckled Sussex.

Button and Zoe are still adjusting to the new arrivals.  They aren't too crazy about sharing their coop with the little runts.  It has been a process getting everyone together and it is still in the works.

Then there was VBS with a space/Star Trek theme.  I am in charge of the craft area.  Here are a couple of  the ones the kids made.

 

 

 "We must pay careful attention to what we have heard so we do not drift away from God."  This is a verse we found in Hebrews after Aubry said we needed to put something on here about not drifting away from God.  The astronaut is attached with a pipe cleaner and it looks like he's on a space walk from the space shuttle.

"We are no longer foreigners and aliens....

 but children of God."  We took pictures of each of the kids and used their faces on this picture showing that they are on of God's children.

My girlfriend, Steph, came for a little visit last week and one of our projects was a script scarf.  This is mine completed. 

We also made these cute little cuffs.

This is Aubry's sewing station.  I found the cabinet at an auction for $10.  She loves being able to sew beside me.

My sweet Logan....

And my little forest guardian....

Let's Face It

These are my latest projects: face bags. They are currently available at

Three French Hens in Nolensville Tn.

Watching

Our chickens have "found" the front landscaping and love to come scratch and peck there.  Well, Echo and Whisper saw them and were very intrigued/mesmerized.  So I had to get a picture.  You can see Zoe to the left of them. 

And Then.....

         Button laid her first egg.

The very next day....

...she laid another!  And Aubry was there to see it happen!  She had gone out to see where her "girls" were and she found them inside the coop (they go everywhere together).  As Aubry is standing there talking to them, Button sort of sits up and squatts and Aubry hears a "thunk"; the second egg!  How exciting!  I never knew having chickens would be so much fun, but they really are!

I didn't take a picture of it, but we got our 3rd egg today.  I think Button is on a roll.  Zoe needs to catch up.  he he

School Pictures

I get pictures of the kiddos every fall.  As I was taking sweet shots of Aubry, we decided to get "the girls" in on it too.  (our hens)  The top picture is Aubry with Button, our Americana, and then with Zoe, our golden lace Wyandotte.

Aubry loves her sweet chickens (and so do I).

                   And this is Mr Logan.  He's such a handsome young man.  When he was younger, it was much easier to get a nice picture of him.  These days he's very ornery and would rather show out for the camera than let me get a "serious" shot.  I was able to sneak this one in though.

Chicken Tee

My girl loves her chickens and we recently

saw a t-shirt in a catalog with a chicken

appliqued to the front.

Being the DYIers we are, we decided to

try our hand at this.

Here is the product from

concept to completion.

Pool With Fence

The fence is up and it's so pretty.  You can't see the gates here, but they have an arched top.  I was surprised how much better the pool looked with the fence.  Now it's time to landscape....

More Star Wars

The guys are almost ready for their big trip.  I've posted a few more pictures.  The dark haired boy is Logan's friend, Andrew, who is going too.  There will be much fun had by all.....and lots of wonderful memories too.

Utterly Rediculous

My girl has learned to crochet and there is no end to her ideas.  She made udders for our cat, Whisper.  He's a good sport.  If I tried to do this though there would be wounds.  Aubry is Whisper's "person" and she can do no wrong in his eyes.

Pool Progress

We're getting there...  just a little more work and then a fence.

Star Wars Celebration VI

It's time for another Star Wars Celebration and my guys are going!  The costumes are still in the works, but this one is almost completed and I just HAD to share it.  Logan painted and distressed his armor.  He looks SO grown UP, doesn't he?!

Trying on all this stuff  is exhausting.
