Barn Burner

On March 23, my neighbor came running over telling me our hay barn was on fire.  I told her, I did not think so, I have been smelling smoke all day because the farmers were just burning ditches.  She said no, you need to call 911.  I ran outside and this is what I saw.  I hurried and call the fire department and before long we had 3 fire engines, and ambulance and several police cars here.  They block the road off both directions because not much excitement goes on in Warren and everyone wanted to see what was going on.  Thanks to awesome neighbors we were able to get the horse out and everything was just fine.  We lost a lot of hay but that can easily be replaced.  Luckily we had great insurance on our hay barn that we are going to rebuild and Christopher is really hoping to put in an outdoor arena.

Baby Chicks

You would have thought it was Christmas morning the day Christopher brought these chicks home. Image
 Chloe has high hopes that she is going to make a lot of money selling eggs.  Tessa just want to hold them all day, everyday.
Image
 Christopher has been wanting to get some chickens and I really do not want to have to feed one more mouth but he surprised us anyways.  He brought home 4 chicks the first night and then he keeps bringing more and more home.  We are up to 8 or 9 so I have banned him from IFA!!!  We don't need anymore chicks.  So if anyone wants some eggs in a few month you sure know where to come.

Happy St. Patty's

Chloe made this cute Leprechaun hat at school.                      Image
 A Leprechaun came to our house while we were sleeping and turned our milk green and left a green treat in Chloe and Tessa's shoes.
Image
 The Leprechaun even left green foot prints on the toilet.

New Bike

Image
All I can say is SPOILED!!! No, not by me but by Grandpa.  Chloe's old bike's tire popped so my dad said he would pick up a new tire for Chloe.  He got to Walmart and realized that new tires were much more than he thought they would be.  She instead of buying a tire and bought 2 (with a new bike attached).  Chloe was so excited and has not stopped riding since. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for being the BEST!!!

Swimming

In March we went to this really fun hotel that has an indoor water park.  The kids had so much fun swimming.                                                                Image
 Tessa has been asking me since October when we get to go swimming so she could not wait.  We had been planning on going for months and of course the night before we were suppose to go Tessa woke up with croup.  I took her to the doc just praying that she was not contagious and could still go swimming.  It would have broke her heart if she could not go.  The doc gave us the thumbs up so we got to go!!
Image
 Tessa loved the slide and I think she wore out the bum on her swimming suit.

 My pretty little Chloe.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Image
We found out that our baby is a GIRL.  We were a little surprised since my pregnancy has been different from Chloe and Tessa.  I was a little worried to tell the girls because they really wanted a brother. Christopher and I stopped at the store and bought these outfits for the girls to open.  They were actually really excited about having another girls around this place.

100 days of Kindergarten

Image
 First of all can I say how much Chloe LOVES Kindergarten.  She can't wait to go everyday and does not want summer to come.  In February was the 100th day of school.  Each kid was suppose to bring 100 of something.  Chloe did not want to just take 100 things she wanted to make a poster with her 100 favorite things on it.  Chloe is very artistic and loves, loves, loves art.  We made this cute poster with 100 of her favorite things.

Chloe awesome Aunt Erin combed her hair and braided the #100 in her hair.  I bet she was the only one in her class with cool hair!
