Our first egg!

We got our first egg today! Obviously, it is not from the chicks. We got 4 laying hens yesterday so that we could start getting eggs sooner. We were told by the gentleman that we got the hens from that they probably wouldn't lay any eggs for about a months, until they got comfortable with their new home. So we were very surprised when we went out there today and saw a brown egg in one of the "condos". Scott did an amazing job on the coop. It has 12 roosts, or condos as we like to call them, and lots of room for the chickens to run around. In the mornings, the girls and I go out there and feed the chickens, and then let the chicks out in the yard to run around for a while. The chicks have to be kept in a cage until they are grown, other wise the hens will kill them. I really think that I could live on a farm! It sounds weird, but it is so relaxing to just go sit out there and watch the chickens and smell the hay. We decided that when we move, we want to buy a house on a couple of acres so that we can have our chickens and more little farm critters.

My Uncle Robin, cousin Linsey, and her husband Matt came over on Thursday to give Scott some gardening advice, and he brought 4 of his horses with him. He took Lulu and Sally out of the trailor and let Macey and Heidi ride them up and down the street. You should have seen their faces!




Marley, Ryan, and Jenna have been having so much fun on our trampoline with the beautiful weather. We have an in-ground trampoline, so they can get on and off by themselves.
