Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend

120 pounds of Chicken

Mom and I spent the day cannning dozens of jars fo raw chicken for the year supply. It was amazing chicken and we had a ton of fun. Really it is so simple, the worst thing is waiting the 90 minutes for it to cook. Lucky for us we have 5 canners between Mom, Ray and I. I can't wait to use it in my meals. It is high quality yumminess that is very convenient.

Bikes, beagles and boys Oh my!

Ruby Rae is coming June 27th, 2012

This summer Myllyssa is going to have a little girl and she has committed to placing her in our family and home. She thought that having a older sibling the same race would be helpful for her little gal. Brad and I are thrilled to death. Last Friday a week after we got a call from her we met at the Fire station park and had a 2 hour play date with Lyssa and her little guy Kai. I told her she makes the most beautiful babies and we were so excited. We chatted about what we wanted from each other. Im telling you that if this was a missionary experience She would be known as a golden birth mom!. We are proud of Lyssa and her strength, she is going back to church and is being a responsible adult.
I am going to be honest I have already gone a bit nuts. Friends have helped us by giving us handdown girls clothes and I have already started making bows and getting the room set up. PLEASE do know that these situations have ways of not working out. I do realize this and I am 100 % committed until those papers are signed. But when Lyssa commits to breast feeding for weeks after she is born I am all but amazed! As of right now we are thinking Ruby Rae Olsen for our little gal. The family is on board and we are so excited.

Tiger and tigger.

We have a mini sports boy who love anything outside and that moves. He loves balls and carrying things over his head. He is such a fun boy. He blows kisses at people at Walmart, waves goodbye to my clients. He HATES when kids take his toy from him. He knocks over his nursery ottoman and most objects in the house, chairs, garbage cans etc. He is an amazing processor. He understands the words we say like, bye bye and car and park and dogs. We love this little man.
