Animals on the Farm

Since we have moved back to Chandler, we have learned a lot about animals. Irrigation brings ducks to our backyard. I have no idea where they come from? Our one surviving chicken had little chicks yesterday-4 of them! The kids are amazed and so am I. The are all gentle with them-except for Nash. We cleaned out the chicken coop yesterday to try to have a safe place for the new arrivals. They kids named the chicks, Cheetah, Brownie, Peck and Strips.

Anni

The kids loved decorating for Halloween. Here is a picture of our front door and Anni. She even wore Halloween colors for the event!

Bo's Photography

Ever since the kids started school Bo has been interested in using my camera. Most of the time I get my camera out and notice about 100 pictures of the walls and floor, but today he took a decent picture of me----I mean he got most of me!

Nash at 14 months

The first picture capture a typical morning for Nash. He wakes up and imeediately want to go out in the backyard and walk around-shoes or no shoes. He usually combs around the yard for about 45 minutes. He usually looks for his chicken friends and any bugs he can find.

The other pictures, I took for selfish reasons. I laugh inside that Nash has to, do EVERYTHING himself. He HAD to hold his own sub sandwich and HAD to hold his own drumstick. It fine with me because Nash has a fit, if I tell him no, so I guess, I choose the mess over a 1 year old rolling all over the floor in a tantrum.
