SPRING BRINGS....FLOWERS & GRANDS AND A NEW KITCHEN

I got to go shopping with this little darling and her family....

I think we should have bought her the hat

don't you? It couldn't have been cuter on any

other little girl I am sure!

Me and Caleb waiting for his mom in the changing room,

we got bored so we started taking pictures....

We do not know these silly people though...

they took our camera over and made us look C R A Z Y.

Spring in St. George is pure heaven...roses are

everywhere...

In every color...

I am constantly sticking my nose in them and deeply

drawing in that glorious scent...oh my!

The temple grounds are perfectly flowered

everywhere one looks.

We have roses in our yard too...

I LOVE our sweet home here in St. George

The air is just dense with the smells of 

roses and honeysuckle, I love to put some 

by my side of the bed at night, makes me

sleep so good!

I am feeding the birds and they are coming in droves...

every kind of darling little birds, so fun to watch.

We have torn out the old counter tops in this house...

they were so old and falling apart...

The kitchen didn't have a back splash at all, so....

This is the new granite for the counter tops...

and we added Subway tile for the back splash.

I am loving it! I have wanted subway tile in the last two

houses and got talked out of it, so this time I stuck to my

guns...loving it!!!

It looks like a new kitchen...

my view over the sink...

It is all so shiny and so gorgeous!  I need to get my bar stools

from the other house and my dining table too.

I love the Vintage look to this kitchen...

I can't get used to it yet, love it! I sold my saddle to help pay

for it and I have been selling stuff from our house in Bicknell,

we need to downsize big time!

Putting just my favorite things in this house...

Yup, I am one happy lady...

Now if our Bicknell house

would sell, I will be in 

heaven for sure!

Spring has brought many happy times...

FAMILY GATHERINGS... BABY CHICKS

Some of our kids and grands, gathering for grandma Donna's

100th birthday.

She is amazing, she still lives in her own home,

she know everything that is going on with all

of us and with all the world!

She is healthy and doing very well, she 

remembers more about our lives than we

do and is always fun to talk with.

Donna's children and their spouses...More about her 100th

birthday party in the next post below.

Sophia, playing peek a boo with grandma...

There she is!

Michael & Lindsey came to St. George and

took me to breakfast at Kneaders.

Jonah is the sweetest baby ever! He is always pleasant

and so cute!

Just put him in a pile of toys and he is happy.

Or in grandma's sink..he loved that!

I have a new hobby...Welcome to our funny farm!

I found this cute tin and hung it on the chickens

run.

We found the little door at the D.I. a thrift store,

and cut it down to fit our new chickens run

and home, it's nice to be able to just walk in.

The new baby chicks spent their first week in the house, the 

little grands had fun coming to visit and hold them.

Ella was SO excited and loved them SO much!

Sophia was so tender with them...

they just tickled her little heart so much!

They stayed in a big card board box keeping them warm.

Bo loved to stand guard over them...

It's amazing how fast they grew...I held them a lot so they

are quite tame now.

After a week, we built them a new home and moved them

into it. At night a light keeps them warm.

Michael & Lindsey came to help us, we 

really appreciated them.

It turned out so good, I need to get the little Pickett fence

into the ground.

The babies first time coming out of the coop.

Meet, "Mama Mia" (black& white).."Hilda" 

(white one) "Goldie & Dolly" (caramels)

It sits in a real good spot for sun and shade all day.

It's been hot in St. George, 104 degrees, so I bought a

mister to put in the coop for them and they just love it!

I am so loving have this new hobby, they are so sweet

and each have a different and cute personality. I am

looking forward to nice big eggs in about 6 month.
