New Things!

We have been having a lot of fun at our new house. A fun thing that we got by moving into this house was a splash pad in the backyard. Preston's brother had built it before they left. The kids love it and have lots of fun! Kya plays in the water and Baden eat everything he can find... chicken poo, leaves, mud, grass, sticks, you know the normal things little boys eat!






Then yesterday we got a TURTLE! Preston's friend (Summer Sherwood Allen) from high school was giving away their turtle, he is 35 years old, his name is Rocky and he is super fun. We are so excited to have him. He is super friendly and comes right up to you. We all already love him!


He's cute huh!


By moving into this house it also meant that we were inheriting the three chickens. I have since killed two of the three, yes I'm a great farmers wife! Apparently they can't survive only on breads and grain, they need something tough to help the bread down. So I was feeding the chickens oats and pancakes, they liked it too, but evidently it got stuck in their throat and starved them. I think the only way the one lived was by eating stucco off the walls.
So here is Tut our only chicken.

And other NEW things Baden now has 5, yes five teeth! He is 8 months, army crawling and has five teeth! He's so cute!

Super cute! I dont know why my blog roll didn't show that you updated, but I hope my email went through.
It could be our computer, it's been wigging out lately.
Anyhow! I'm so glad to see you guys have fun with it all! :)
