Life on the Farm

Well here we are, on our way right through spring... Let the introductions begin:

This is Luna, our Aussie/Blue Heeler pup...

Cliff the Cat, he loves to hang out with...

"The Girls", our beautiful chickens (we have seven!)

Mama Chick

Snow White

Landon calls the chickens "the girls" and says "hey, girls!" We have two Aruacanas, two Barred Rock, one Australorp and two New Hampshire Reds. The oldest ones will start to lay their eggs in early August which we are really excited for!!

And of course every farm has to have a dog, so we brought Luna in to the picture April 1st!! Her hybrid is called Texas Heeler and boy does she heel!! If Landon goes too far or not where she wants him to go, she will be trying to pull him by the pant leg. While she has her puppy moments and he his two-year-old moments our house can get CrAzY from time to time! But we love every minute of it.

Landon is 2 and 1/2 and moved up to the older kids class at school and is just talking up a storm. He has been counting to ten for a while now and just the other day went to 18! He signs "twinkle, twinkle" to Mommy but when Mommy chimes in to sing along he says,

"No Mommy! I sing that!"

But Mommy's favorite saying comes every night at bed time after Landon asking for "one last one" (referring to hugs and kisses) when Mommy says "I love you forever" Landon says "I love you and always..."
