We got a puppy!!!!


OK So I am super excited here!!!! First things first.....

ALEXIS FINISHED SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!
She finished on Thursday April 23rd, 2009! I am so proud of her! She worked so hard. :D
We are really enjoying our summer vacation. Since Friday the temps have been in the 80's!!!! Since we finished school on Thursday we were off on Friday. Well there was a chicken swap in Farmerstown. We went to enjoy our first day of summer break! And that is when we found her.........


Beautiful Isabella Joy!!!
She is 6 weeks old. Friday was her first day away from her mama. She is a wonderful puppy. She is so sweet and of course very cute. She is a mixed breed. :) Her mother is a German Shepard and her dad is a Wolf! So she is a wolfdog. ;) Right now she is inside but Lucas does not want her to stay in the house. He wants her out by next week. :( I want her to stay inside with us! But that is in God's hands. I know I wont convince him.

Also, on Saturday we went mushroom hunting for the first time this year. I did very good!!!!
i found 18 mushrooms!!!!!!!!! And they were all gray sponge!!! We ate them for breakfast Sunday morning! Then Sunday afternoon I went back out and found 11 more!!!! These were the other kind. I like to call them the brown ones. ;) So anyways. We are doing great and having a wonderful summer break so far!!!!!

I will post more later. Have a blessed day!!!

Almost done :)

Great news!!!! We are almost done with school!!! WHOOOHOO!!!!! Alexis has finished all subjects but Phonics. She has 21 lessons left to do. We will be done with school this week! I am so excited!!! It really has been an experience. I am still not sure what to do about Brook. I just don't know. I guess if we still live here then I will home school. If we live else where then maybe I will send her to Kindergarten. Only time will tell.

We had looked at a house in Big Prairie. I liked it a lot. Lucas thought it was ok. We offered 3 different prices and they denied all 3. :( Lucas really wants to get land. I would not mind that. I would want enough to have the farm credit. Again..........time will tell. ;)

I have been doing great in selling eggs. :D I hatched out 72 sex linked and 58 buff orps for Moore's Lawn and Garden on the 12th of April. 130 chicks......not too shabby!!! That was my biggest hatch so far. I have not been in at Moore's since the 16th. I am not sure how the selling is going. I have prayed and prayed that they would sell out! I now have me some eggs in the bator. :D My first set of Spitz eggs and brabanter eggs!!!! I also have faverolles, BLRW, penedesencas, B/B/S Orps, and marans!!! What a great set of eggs. I can't wait till the swaps!!! I am so ready to visit my swapping buddies! And to have some nice warm weather. ;)

Well, I need to get back to work. I will try and update more often.
God Bless,
Chareia :)
