The Children!

Here is a peak at a my children! I took these pictures a few days ago while my mother was visiting. 

From left to right it's Syrena (7), Jordan (4), Gabriel (8mon), Lillian (2), Breanna (8), Elijah (8mon), Kaitelyn (6), and Isaiah (3). 

Enjoy! 

Welcome back....winter.

Apparently, my welcome of spring was premature, haha! Here's what is at my place right now!

Spring Has Arrived...FINALLY!

Spring has finally arrived here in Canada (yes I'm aware first day of spring was a few weeks ago). After a cold snap of -20c I can finally let the kids roam outside without worrying about kids coming inside screaming their hands are cold. Although with spring comes soaking wet kids wanting to come inside and walk all over the house and a lot of "Stay out of that puddle! Nooo, don't splash water everywhere" and "UGH you got me all wet!" Lol. I'm happy it's finally getting warmer up here in frigid Canada!

With spring comes new baby animals! I'm excitedly awaiting for my goats to start having their adorable long eared babies! With new goat babies we also can look forward to goats milk and all the products that comes along with it! I'll be documenting a few of the things we make with the goats milk now that I have internet :-) We will also be getting a few more chickens to replace the ones we lost in the coyote massacre during the winter.

This year we will also be having a fairly large garden and my children are so excited to start growing things! We will learn all about plants and how they grow along the way! They helped me pick out all the veggies we are planning on growing and we are still deciding on flowers :-) They have expressed interest in growing sunflowers so far but that's it!

So many interesting things going on here and it will be a really busy spring and summer this year!

Here's a quick video of Gabe laughing :-) It was taken in the truck so it's not the best quality. Enjoy!
