We've got Pickles

So - Doug did his first jar of pickles last night - he was very proud - we were able to use our own dill that we grew and everything - the garden is huge right now - he has finally decided he may have gone a little overboard this year on the potato's (ya think) - but hey at least we know we will eat them - if not I am sure we can find those who will - the potato's are almost the size of the twins and the beans aren't far behind - the tomato's still have some catching up to do -

Beau has fit right into the family as you can see - this is him and Faith on the floor in the living room - he's a little spoiled - Faith will be doing 4-H this summer with a new bunny which she earned for getting her grades back up where they belong - struggled a bit with that this year - along with a cheerleading camp at the church - she has also taught herself how to knit - yes taught herself because I sure as heck didn't teach her - ya'll know how well I do with that "crafty" stuff :) she is currently using a pen and a pencil as knitting needles because she broke the one that she could find and well can't find the other one - she supposedly is knitting a scarf - all I can say is she has a lot more patience than me -

that's all for now - I am sure there will be more to chat about after the weekend is over -

Hmmmm - Let's see where to begin............

let's see where to begin ....................

a) we have a new dog and gave another one to a new home - we sent Lilly to a new home where she has the attention she deserves - and we have now acquired mr. Beau - Mr. Beau is a 6 month old red heeler - I found him off of craigslist and made a decision he could not go back to where he came from - him and Ginger are like too little peas in a pod - it's actually perty funny -

b) we have new Rabbits -they are meat rabbits - so you know what they will be used for - the white is a doe the brown one is the buck - Doug says it tastes like chicken - we plan on breeding them eventually - they are only 8 weeks old right now -

C) we now have the "bobsy" twins - Hannah and Alexis decided that they needed new haircuts on saturday - they proceeded to give themselves new hair cuts, yes I did say themselves, so Hannah now has a "condor" on the top of her head (it's actually a "peacock") per the lady at the salon - and Alexis has a very short bangs to the right - the nice lady at the salon was nice enough to inform to them how longs she had to school to LEARN how to cut hair - and made them pinky swear NEVER, NEVER, NEVER to do this again - Daddy says next time he is going to fix it................... like his.
