Nerds With Birds

(Life) Well we have been hiding a little bit. We did it to suprise Momma cause we thought it would be fun and since she already knows now I can spill the beans *L* We painted our house - yup the outside…with freakin hand paintbrushes *LOL* It looks good and it needed to be done but talk about tiring! The other BIG thing was that we ripped the carpet out in the livingroom and hall and put down that click together wood floor in there and the kitchen/dining room. Now that was rough but we finished it in 2 days - and YES for those wondering that is how the hammer met my finger ;) Jay is going to be attending OTC with me in the fall - he’s going to be taking the signing class I took. I think he will enjoy it. We also got a new game for the Wii - Wii-Fit. I freaking love that game! The kids and Jay will play also but I think I enjoy it more than they do ;) It’s a fitness game that has yoga, aerobics,strength training and some balance games. It weighs you and gives your BMI results and helps you get on track to getting fit. I’ve been tracking my progress - you can check it here - I added a link to the right side toolbar to. Aunt Kelly has been working out with me and I’m hoping a few more people will jump on board and keep the motivation flowing!

(Farm) The farm is booming *L* Angels babies are growing big - they are starting the wean now. I think I will be keeping the runt out of that litter - he/she is adorable! I plan on trying to figure out the sex on them this weekend and see what we ended out with. Sassy, Alberta and Murtle are getting a tad husky :) so I’m hoping they took. Murtle and Manson are doing so much better now that we’ve shaved them. Hmm did I even mention them before? Well just in case we bought 2 new angora’s (with papers even - oohhhh *L*) a black male(Manson) and a tortoise shell female(Murtle). They are HUGE! *L* We got them at the Marshfield Fiber fair a few weekends (5/17) ago. We ended up making new cages for the rabbitry and I love them. We did 4 male cages and 4 female (with drop down nest boxes) and I’m so happy with how they turned out. My arms and hands were so scratched up from messing and cutting the wire. I’ll add pictures under the rabbits. The ducks started laying on 5/16 (the 2nd duck started on 5/19) and have since laid 18 eggs that were put into the inky today. If I think we’re a go on them I’ll have Jay hook up the webcam when it gets to be hatch time.

(Kids) Emily just had her 3rd birthday - Happy birthday emily!! She was so excited to turn 3. We got her a little princess tryicycle and mamoo got her the princess helmet to match :) So cute! Emily’s latest “cute” thing that she says that is completely unique to her is “I love you a million ba-zillion” - omg sooo cute! I just LOVE when she says it. She also got a guitar (toy of course) but her and Cody have been rockin out like crazy fools to that thing. We got Cody a bike - his first one. He did such a great job of getting good grades and being kind and caring at school this year - he earned a bike :) and he loves the thing. He’s been riding around with Emily almost everyday. Cody will be done with school in 2 more days and let me tell you he is counting down the hours *L*

(Garden) We planted a few more things since I last updated, so Im going to update on everything *L* We planted 4 tomatoe plants - the cherry tomatoe has already started to grow one :) the others just have blooms. We also planted a watermelon and a pumpkin with haven’t done much yet. I decided we needed a catawa grape plant - and it seems to be growing…leaves…so maybe that’s a good sign?! *L* The cucumber plants - all 12 of them have of course taken off. I have over 40 (I quit counting) blooms and about 4 cucumbers started. Jay’s pepper has a few buds and  the pepper from veitemese pepper (a friend sent him some seeds) is the tiniest thing you ever saw - but it’s growing *L* (although it does look alot like a weed right now*LOL*) I also planted a blueberry bush - and it has started some green blueberries :) I’m hoping they turn blue…soon! That’s all for the garden but I also have a patio peach tree on the front porch that has 6 peaches started *woohoo!* and Cody is excited about eating them!

(Hobby) Well like I’ve said before I dabble in a million different hobbies and crafts. I’ve awful proud of the wii-mote cabinet I made though. I basically just took a picture of the wii-mote and enlarged it - then decoupaged it onto a cabinet but it’s my creation and I love it. I made it for Cody - and he loves it to. I havent managed to get a lot of craftiness done the last few weeks but hopefully this summer.

(Website) I added this post, the Wii-Fit page and a million ba-zillion pictures ;) Check out the recently added section under photo’s.

Awww it was a good day :)
The kiddo’s and Jay made me a card with their hand prints in it - so cute! I got to sleep in (until 10am *woohoo*) and then Jay made us all a good big breakfast. Then I got to play with my mothers day prezzy - a BB rifle :) I know - weird that I actually wanted something like that huh? Ahh well - I love it! It’s crazy powerful (1200 FPS) and has a great scope that was already sighted and mounted (thank you bass pro gun guy *LOL*) and I LOVE it! So I played around with my targets for awhile. We did a little bit of shopping and I actually got started in a little crafty-goodness - look for an update called the Wii Cabnet. It’s bedtime for the kids and I think Jay and I will settle down with a good zombie movie and a glass of sweet tea…It’s been a good day!

(Life) Well I explained a few posts ago that our lives have been a tad crazy and busy these days. I finish this semester next week, Cody will be graduating kindergarten the end of the month *woohoo go Cody* Emily is turning 3 in 2 weeks…Just lots of events going on.

(Farm) Gosh let’s see…The 2 baby pigeons are fully grown and we had 2 more hatch out a few days ago that are getting so big already. Angel (rabbit) one of the Sassy/Walter from Oct had 5 babies this morning - what a nice surprise! They all seem to be doing good and she pulled enough fur to make another rabbit *L* so we are keeping our fingers crossed that she figures everything else out and these little ones make it. Stil no eggs from our leghorn chicken - who is SUPPOSE to be the better egg layer out of the 3 we have *LOL* so who knows. The ducks have been mating but no eggs from either on yet :/

(Garden) Well we planted a few weeks ago. We planted 4 tomatoe plants (Ill add the types in later) and about 800 cucumber *LOL* well maybe not 800 but alot! 4 - 6 packs and a few singles. I’ll count them tomorrow and let you know. We all like cucumbers and you can always find someone to take the extras off you hands ;) Jay planted some peppers (types later) and we are planning to add in some okra and MAYBE try another watermelon plant this year.

(Hobby) I actually did get some sewing in this week. I made some capris (for me) out of a to small pair of jeans and one of Jays old Hawaiian shirts *L* They turned out good and they are comfy! I also made Cody a few pairs of shorts from his to small (yes, as in floods) jeans and Emily got 4 pairs of capris from her to small sweatpants. On Emilys I added some cute ribbons to the bottom - and she loves them :)

(Website) Well I’ve posted quite a few times and I added a crap load of pictures tonight. I also updated the rabbit page , the Lists page and the zoo crew to reflect the right amounts :)

4 years ago today I was having a D&C after losing the twins…
It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but it has. I think about their faces and sweet little voices. I think about the brothers or sisters that Cody & Emily missed out on. I think about how our lives would be so different. Mainly I just think about them. I’m better now than I was then, but I still miss them just the same.

And his love is the one true emotion
Heaven knows no fear no pain
I never got to set my wheels in motion
But they loved me just the same
And they didn’t even know my name
Didn’t even know my name
You loved me just the same
And you didn’t even know my name”

Oh my gosh - I cannot explain how excited I am that this semester is almost over. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it doesnt involve math or biology! *lmao* I am sick of that boring CRAP! I have 2 more classes and a presentation then a final to take in ASL, and Math (well I bombed it anyways) but 2 classes and 2 more tests…and 2 more online tests in Biology and I’m DONE! *happy dance* Did I mention I received a big fat A in health? Woohoo - go me..so what if it was an easy class ;)  Anyways I know I keep promising to update more but this time I mean it, once school is over I’m gonna update this baby all the time and finally get those pictures added! I have a big update but I’m practicing for my ASL presentation (that happens to be tomorrow) and then *hopefully* I can get a few hours of sleep. I’ll update more later this week :)
