Chicken Coop

Yes...we got some chicks! What I didn't know: they go from fluffy and cute to fat and scruffy in just a week!!

Kevin spent the weekend with us and helped Jesse make a coop and chicken run. The children are so excited- apparently seeing them in a box just isn't that interesting!

The Run...the men tried to create a "habitat" with places to climb, scratch, and flutter.

The Coop...needs a nice coat of paint- Ashley has chosen a turquoise that will really make a statement!

The Flock...yes, at almost three weeks they are nearing adolescence and thus looking pretty scruffy.

Easter Fun!

Here are a few of the fun things we did for Easter....
Egg dying...

Rice Krispie Bird Nests...

Egg Hunt (in the snow!)...

All in all a great Easter! The egg hunt was at the fair grounds, so the children each had to be in a different area for the hunt. I felt quite torn but had to stay with the youngest...and thus, I only got pictures of Dallin. The children came home with balls and whistles and stuffed animals- making the Easter Bunny's job quite easy!!
