Track Meet and Cary Grant

I went to Kraig & Casey's track meet Monday. They both did a good job. In one picture Kurt is sharing his valuable advice with Casey as he used to do discus and shot in high school. Casey also ran the 200 yard dash. There are pictures of Kraig's shot, Casey's discus throw and her 200 yard dash. Also posted a picture of Cary Grant. That is what I named this chicken (sure hope he is a rooster!) Anyway, he is the tallest of all the chicks and is gray and sophistcated LOL. He is the only one that is gray. Maude is yellow and all the others are shades of brown. We have picked out names for the hens, Mable, Mildred, Maude, Bertha, Belina, Hazel, Mossie, Myrtle, Gertrude, Agnes and maybe Flossie. (Aren't you glad I am not naming your children!!) Not sure how many we are keeping once they start laying. Will have to wait until they are a little older to name the others. So for now it is just Cary and Maude. Keith thinks I am nuts....he may have a valid point.

Visit at Kevin's and New Chicken Coop

Just got back Saturday from a visit with Kevin's family. I stayed with Libby Thursday and Friday. I had a fun time with her. She is changing so fast. She loves her swing. Yesterday we went to Defiance and got a chicken coop as the chicks are outgrowing what we had them in. We have 25. We also got carpet for the deck at the campground and went to AT&T and got new phones. Out to eat at Applebees. Busy day. Raining all day.

Happy "39" Kurt

We had Kurt's family over today to celebrate Kurt's 39th Birthday. How can my baby be 39? We are very proud of him. He is a great son, husband, dad, brother and uncle. Love ya' Kurt.

How the Chicks have Grown!!!

We've only had the chicks for 8 days and they were only one day old when we got them. I can't believe how much they have grown this week. They are so much taller and are getting their feathers so they aren't as cute and cuddly. I posted a picture of me with one when we got them last Friday and one today..Saturday. We have them in a tub in the garage, but they are almost able to fly out of it so on to plan two.

Garrett Track Meet

Yesterday I went with Kurt, Christy, Chloe and Cayla to Kraig & Casey's Track Meet held in Garrett. I was so proud of the kids. Kraig got first in the discus with a throw of 88 feet 1 inch

and a third in shot with a throw of 31 feet 81/2 inches. Casey didn't place but she did good too. Her farthest throw on the discus was 41 feet 8 inches and 18 feet 31/2 inches with the shot. Good job kids. You made Grandma proud. After the meet, we went out to KFC for supper. It was a fun night with Kurt's family for me.

New Chicks

Keith picked up our new 25 little chicks on his way home from his auction today. They are Araucana chickens and will lay blue or green eggs. That is the same kind we had before. I am anxious for Libby to come and see them as she loves birds. We have both been out to the garage to check on them. It will be quite awhile before we have eggs, but they are so cute.
