Just in Time for Easter

The night before we left Cedar City, Shane told Tom and I that he had a little piece of Utah for us to take home. 4 Baby Chicks.


My boys were beyond thrilled.

It took me awhile to find my manners and say, thank you?

So they chirped and chirped the whole 10 hour drive home.

Thank you.

But we've grown to love them and even bought two more expecting some to not make it through their chick phase. But they're all super healthy and chirpy and fast.

You should see Caleb catch them, it's hilarious.
Tom did an awesome job building the chicken coop. It turned out great. I painted. We make a perfect team, he builds, I paint.

Although I ran out of white paint, I need it for the roof.
He even built openings to reach in and grab the eggs everyday.
They love their new home. Probably just happy to get out of the box they were living in. They grow so quickly.

Talin keeps telling everyone that we're going to have "farm fresh" eggs by July.
And Tom's cute butt. He's actually throwing the chicks down the ramp.

We are jealous of your chicken coop, our chickens live in a "white trash" neighborhood. I'm glad you don't hate us for your little gift to bring home. And little JoDee is looking pretty good, strong and healthy!

Oh my gosh! How FUN! Wow I am impressed with you two, way to go! Those little chicks are adorable! I bet the kids are enjoying them. The kids and I will have to come over and see the new additions to your family :)
