The Mother Load from 2011!

I was reading a friends blog that had just a few pictures of the highlights of 2011. So, since I've been a bit of a blog slacker, I thought well that's cool I'll do that and give everyone a quick catchup.
However, I was going through my pictures and I just couldn't narrow it down to a few pictures, although I think I did a good job of going as small as possible. But, here comes a butt load, yep I said butt load :) of pictures and narrations from our 2011.
We were truly blessed this last year as we have been every year. We are our own happy little family in our own part of this great big world. And we enjoy sharing our moments with those that we love near and far! Happy looking...


Greg built this AwESoMe bird feeder for the hens..we had WaY tOo many neighborhood birds feasting on the lay feed. ( The hens step on the board and it opens the lid for them to eat. When they step off, it closes back up again. We had to have a rock on it holding it open for a few days until the hens figured it out., but they're pretty smart and got it quick.)


Emery turned ONE! My baby turned one and we celebrated with a monkey cake because she is "our little monkey."

She had No problem getting after it! mmmm....
