WANTED-For Having TOO Much Fun!!!

Jeff, me, Jordan & Cayden-At the Houston Livestock Show on Monday.

Jordan-Bull Rider

Cayden-Bull Rider

We took Jordan & Cayden down to Houston for the Livestock Show-they had a blast! We spent most of the time at the AgVenture area they had set up for kids. We did get to see the Dexter Show-but there weren't as many entries as I was expecting! I did get to meet one of the ladies who has alot to do with the association and she is going to try to help us get Fozzie's paperwork straight-no promises-but has a few ideas on some things we can do!

The eggs in the incubator are due to hatch tomorrow-and some are beginning to move around-the eggs will start moving and rolling around as the chicks begin to peck their way out-we've even heard some cheeps coming from inside! It is SO hard not to open the lid and check for the beginnings of cracks-but you aren't supposed to open it and let the humidity out.
We got a few tomatoes planted this afternoon-lots more for tomorrow.Got the strawberries in their bed also. The phone just started ringing and we weren't able to get it all finished. Jordan & Kaytlynn were really busy helping-she just loves being in the garden!

It has gotten a little quieter-Sugar and Cheyenne seemed to have gotten over each other for the most part. It is always so hard when it is time to wean them. We got less than an eighth of an inch of rain yesterday-boy we got caught up in some all the way to Houston-so we've started watering the little bit we've planted already. And there's no chance of any the rest of the week-good for Spring Break-but not for the pastures or the garden. We might try to take the boat out on the lake tomorrow-at least it's a thought for now!

Another Week that went by Way Too Fast!

We had a pretty good week this last one. All the kids are finally well-and the other two haven't shown any signs of getting sick. But now I'm having a severe case of allergies due to all the pollen! My voice is almost gone at sometimes-at others-it's just a squeak.
The hens have really picked up this week! We got 9 eggs one day-that means only 2 didn't lay! Seems the average is 6 a day right now. The eggs in the incubator are due to hatch starting Wednesday-hope all Jeff's mother hen work turns out! Jeff moved the cows into the pasture across the road-it was way past time to wean Cheyenne-and it has really been noisey here the last few days-Momma and calf Do NOT like being seperated-but Sugar is due to have a calf sometime soon-we don't have a good date on that one.
The garden is still going slow! Jeff checked on the potatoes this morning before Church-and still no growth showing. Pretty disappointing until we realized it hadn't been very long since he and Mady planted them-just rushing them! My snowpeas are pushing through the dirt-so at least something is showing green! We bought tomato plants and some bell pepper plants yesterday-but we are expecting a cool front tomorrow-with a 50% chance of rain-YEAH!-so we decided to hold off a few days before planting them. We also bought 20 strawberry plants-so those really need to be in the ground, too.
Well-I'm on Spring Break this week!Last night we went to Alfred and Shelia's and spent some time riding the UTV's through the woods and down to the river-then roasted some hotdogs. Once the coyotes started howling-a little too close for comfort for me-we packed everything up and headed back up the hill to the main house! We are going into Houston tomorrow to Reliant Center to see the Dexter Show. Jordan & Cayden are going with us-we'll let them spend some time in the AgVenture area and play around. We were only going to take Jordan-but just couldn't stand to leave CayCay behind. She just has a tendousy to run away-so we'll really have to have a hands on day with her! The smaller girls are just too little and we certainly can't carry them around! Hailey got to go yesterday with her Dad and she'll go again Wednesday with her mom and best friend for the rodeo performance. Anyway-other than tomorrow-we don't have any plans-would like to go fishing on the lake one day-thought about a drive to the beach-but it will be SO crowded down there-and just have some chores and things that need to be done here-as ALWAYS! Oh-well-the week will go by way too fast no matter what we decide to do!
