Buddies

A sweet moment this spring on our way to the aviary with Isaac.  I couldn't believe that Miles let Isaac take his hand, and actually held onto it for a bit.

Easter Weekend 2014

Took a little trip to St. George over Easter weekend,  We stopped in to visit Grandpa and Grandma Evans and also saw Craig's brother and sister-in-law at her family reunion.  

Our favorite hike in Snow Canyon

Easter basket!

A little ice cream snack on the drive home.  

First time outside

See what I mean?  They were about 4-ish weeks old here.  

Meet the Girls!

Cocoa, a Plymouth Barred Rock

Matilda, an Easter Egger (she'll lay green or blue eggs)

Rocket, an Australorp

Princess Leia, an Easter Egger

Honey, a Buff Orpington

Close-up of Princess Leia, unbelievably cute! Seriously, they were only about 4-ish days old in these pictures.  They changed so quickly!!  This baby phase was over in a blink!

We did it!  On March 7, 2014, we got chickens.  Well, I got chickens, Craig is not really a huge fan.  He's been a great sport though, built an amazing chicken coop.  That's the end of it though, from now on, totally my responsibility.  Miles has loved them.  I bought five, wanting only three (chicken salespeople are convincing at the farm store), and so far, they all seem to be hens.  Hmmmm.  Looks like two will be going to live with my friend Russin.  We didn't plan the space for five.  Probably won't have eggs until this fall, but in the meantime, they are a great joy to watch.

Glitter time!

A picture of fishing lines.

Yes, of course you need to use the whole bottle of glitter!  That's just how it's done!

Memory Grove

Early spring walk at one of our favorite spots.

Feeding Pelicans

In a moment of spontaneity, we decided to feed the pelicans at the aviary.  It took a little convincing, but Miles actually touched the fish and threw some in!  No one was more surprised than me!!  It was actually quite fun.
