Logan is sweet and kind always thought full, loves to cook and clean , silly little man, loves all things building and farming, fishing , camping and dirt, watches out for his little sister, love to play with his siblings but is just as happy by himself. His quite shy side is quickly slipping away leaving a loud noise making boy! But oh how I love how he say momma! And stops in the middle of playing to come hug me. Donovan would be lost with out his they are best friends, my Secret mom hope with I had 2 boys so close in age. For his birthday he asked for a cleaning kit GeGe got it for him and it was his favorite gift! I love his personality and how he is just who he is❤️❤️ Grandpa Bowles took him fishing for his birthday and he is in heaven!! Happy belated big man I love you too the moon and back a million times !!!!!

Helpers

The kids have been asking and asking to ride bikes today. I told them as soon as their chores and my chores are done we can ride bikes. As I cleaned the kitchen these two started in my mountain of laundry folding it all. They did such a good job gliding every thing correctly, I'm kind of a laundry snob about how things are folded. 😊  love when my helpers are happy! 

Berrys and flowers

Last year we planted the blackberry and raspberry but it just looked so plain and need a little lift. We added the Pacers and filled in some garden soil, added new irrigation lines and a few planter buckets. Wild flower seeds , I love a patch of wild flowers, I also added some daisy and forget me nots starts we planted inside a few weeks ago. It's looking so much better. I can't wait to have flowers all over.

Chickens

This is how we wrang chickens. Stick them in a laundry basket. Thea is my chicken whisperer. She loves them and is good with them. They are so fun and cute, well they were cute now they are in an teen age stage not looking so cute but not looking grown up either, but we still love them.

Mom life

All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a mom, and lucky for me my dream came true with the most amazing husband and best daddy we have our 4 wonderful babies. But when one is sick like tonight it forces me to slow down and be with them. I hate when they are sick but I do love the one on one time we get just sitting and holding them while the sleep all day or reading books. It reminds me that this is what I love other things come and go, but holding this sweet child and loveing them with all I have is what each day is about for me. sometimes, more often then I would like life gets in the way and side tracks me but quite nights of hold sick sleepless kids fills my heart with so much love for them and gratitude for the blessing of being a mom and having been giving such sweet happy spirits. Get some rest sweet sunshine girl I got you! 

Birthdays are special

This little one is 4 today! Oh how time flys and I wish it would stop! But she's 4 and so happy about it. Anna is our little sassy full spirited girl. She lives life to its fullest and drags her bothers and sister along. The adore her! She is a special girl and we are so very blessed to have her. She is as smart as a whip, funny and oh so kind! Life would be dull with out her. Happy Birthday my sunshine girl!! Don't grow up to fast!

Life

One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides my kids being home all day with me, is the flexibility it gives us. When in up most the night with a sick Logan like last night , he and I can sleep in while Thea helps Anna with breakfast and then all the other kids play while we catch up on sleep. Then when we are up we can start school just hitting the top priority sand reading story's most the day with the sick littles. I love that I don't have to be up and make sure kids are ready to leave the house and go to school we just relax and move school back to later in the day. Ahhhh, life is good. I am so grateful for this opportunity and that if allowed the Lords promptings and took that leap of faith in to home schooling. He has provide so well for us and I know he is always there helping me reach my sweet kids.

More spring

We got a few things don't around the house today. We built a few garden boxes and filled them with garden soil. I moved some strawberry starts to a new home. We built the chicken coop and move the little lady's out there. I also moved some house plants to bigger pots and cut off a few starts for a new pot. Corey also fixed the new dish washer a fork was stuck in the water spout. But it's working again. Thank goodness!!! We have one more box to build up front and then fill and trim the tree. There are a bunch of dead branches 🤔 the kids did great with school today and we had so much day left that we got a lot done, fingers crossed for another day like that soon!!

Spring

I love spring it is most definitely my favorite time of year! The sun is out and more day light,the yard is getting green again, birds are singing, kids are spending as mush time as possible out side playing, bbqing, my garden is sprouting and getting ready to go out side, and this year baby chick. Ahhh I love spring! But really 30 minutes out side clean and weeding and I'm sunburnt:( Thats sad! Guess I will be buying sun screen tomorrow song don't burn with all my up coming projects. We got a few done, moved the play ground  and the trampoline across the yard that took forever. Weeded and planted one garden bed, set up new drip system for the front yard garden, planted 4 rose bushes from my friend, and got all the wood for the new garden boxes. 

Next we need to build them and fill them with dirt and plant them both front and back yard, thatch the back yard, pull up all the grass in the front yard and place all the pavers, get all the veggies and flowers planted, and in the house I need to build in a few walls. 

Spring makes me energized and oh so happy!!! It lifts my spirits after the long cold windy winter. And the weather is perfect no to hit not to cold. I hope spring is beautiful where you are!!
