What's happening around here

Summer is almost over so here are some things my kiddos are loving. They absolutely love our chickens. Some of them are named and some are not. The kids just pick them up and carry them all over. I know for most people it's not a normal thing but for us and our house, I'm am usually yelling get the chickens and ducks out of the house. Yes, we got 3 ducks about 2 months ago. The more the merrier right? Maybe. I never though I would say this, but I do like having the chickens for the eggs. I love getting fresh eggs. And the kids think it's so much fun to see the different color of eggs we get. We get brown, bluish/greenish, and white eggs now. We do have a chicken coop, but some of the chickens started laying the eggs on the lawn. One day I was walking all over the grass trying to find eggs. I thought to myself Wow, it's like an easter egg hunt everyday!

Here are the roosters, I think they are pretty cool looking. I always thought they only crowed in the morning, Oh no, they crow all day long. Anyone want them? Seriously!

These ones are Rosa (white one) and Tiny. The kids named them. Tinys not so tiny anymore.

Kyndee was helping the chicken walk. LOL. Apparently she didn't think it was doing a good enough job. I guess it needed some help. The sad thing is the chicken lets her.

The kids start school this week, which they are really excited about. I can't believe that Cadence is going to kindergarten. She got to meet her teacher a few days ago and I know that she will just love her. Kyndee got to go check out her preschool and see her teacher. She already knows her cause it's Cadence's old teacher.

Cody had to leave for Montana and has been gone for a week. He could be gone for a month. I'm not really looking forward to that. He has been doing project work and on fires. Man I miss that guy! I've decided they need to come up with a rent-a-husband kind of thing for those of us that have husbands that work out of town. I just need someone to do some stuff around the house, do some yard work, and fix my broken car.

The trainer that I was working with for the biggest loser challege decided to do another competition. I am not doing the comp again, but I am still working out with all of them. I love it. Pam kicks my butt, but I feel amazing. I never thought I would want to run, but a couple of weeks ago I ran 3 miles which I had never done before. My next goal is 4 miles. I am thinking about training for a half marathon. I'm not sure yet. I really never thought I would say that. We'll see how it goes.

Anyways, that's what is going on with our family.
