    Swimming

    My children adore swimming, but for some reason, we haven’t had a chance to swim once this summer. So we packed the children up… … and we rectified that today!             Jade kept coming up to me every 2 minutes and giving me the little hopeful look and saying, “Mom…

  • King of the Bath Bombs

    King of the Bath Bombs

    Many of you watched Indigo’s video about her promotion to printing the postage for internet orders. Hewitt wanted to know why I never posted the video about his job wrapping the bath bombs. I had taken this video not long before we decided to discontinue the bath bombs in favor of the bath fizzies, so…

  • Happy Birthday, Hewitt!

    Happy Birthday, Hewitt!

    Hewitt turned seven today! After over 10 years of use, our birthday crown died (and Mom hasn’t made another one yet), so the boys made Hewitt a birthday crown from his “I Can’t Walk” tracks. I thought it looked goofy, but he seemed to really like it. Greyden and Emery made him a lemon poppy…

  • Amazing Purple Berries

    Amazing Purple Berries

    We grow a lot of berries, but one of our favorites that we grow is elderberries. Elderberries are really good for you and great for your immune system. They aren’t very sweet, so Mom puts them in smoothies and they taste really good in pancakes. (Especially if you pick out all the stems!) We like…

  • Helping Out

    A couple months ago, Mom gave us a special treat and took us to Taco Bell for lunch.  As we were leaving and loading up the Hulk, we heard a huge crashing sound. We turned around to see a beat-up car at the curb, debris littering the road, and a bunch of cars stopped. Mom told me…

  • Will We Make It?

    Will We Make It?

    Remember when I surprised everyone with a trip to the Red River Gorge? During that trip, we drove the Hulk: The Hulk is 8 feet wide by 9.5 feet high by 22 feet long. In other words, it’s huge. While we explored the Red River Gorge, we discovered the Nada Tunnel. The tunnel was cut…

  • Puppies, Puppies, Everywhere!

    Puppies, Puppies, Everywhere!

    Did you know that we once got to “babysit” dogs for a few months? Yep! We took care of two Great Pyrenees dogs – Alex and Shelby.  Great Pyrs are livestock guardian dogs for the goats.  But we just liked to play with them.  Unfortunately, they also like to roam, and our 3 acres weren’t enough…

  • Massage Therapy Gone Wrong

    Jim has been making lots and lots of soap lately. In fact, he recently broke two records. First, he made the most soap ever in a single day on July 30th. Second, he made the most soap he’s ever made in a single month during July. That’s the good news. The bad news is that…

  • Chocolate!

    Chocolate!

    Ms. Gretchen showed up the Monday after Easter with a bag in her hand. She opened the bag, and pulled out first one chocolate bunny and then another! She explained that the smaller one was for the girls, and the larger one was for the boys. (The egg was for Mom and Dad). Boys: (After…

  • My Brother Hewitt

    My Brother Hewitt

    Mom just discovered this video on the video camera.   Apparently Hewitt found the video camera at some point and decided to make a video. He shares a little bit about his life.  Then he talks about how many brothers and sisters he has (and our ages).  Then he walks you into his room.  It’s…

  • Happy (Late) Birthday, Emery!

    Happy (Late) Birthday, Emery!

    I can’t believe Emery is 11.  I (sorta) remember when he was born! Normally we wear a birthday crown on our birthday, but we couldn’t find it, so Emery wore this instead:       Emery tried to pick Colter up instead of hugging him: He gave up:         Not everyone gets…

  • What Happened To Your Hair?!?

    What Happened To Your Hair?!?

    We were going to go out one evening, so I got the girls ready in pretty dresses (that they picked out) and did their hair. I came in a little while later to discover this:       Me: “WHAT happened to your hair?!?!?”     Indigo: “We fixed it!”  

  • Wet or Dry?

    Wet or Dry?

    Greyden really enjoy cooking eggs for everyone for breakfast.  The only problem is that some of us like our scrambled eggs “dry”.  And some of us like them “wet”.  So they make them twice. First Fletcher makes the “dry” eggs:     Then Greyden makes the “wet” eggs:       In the end, we…

  • Meet Greyden

    Meet Greyden

    When Greyden was a baby, we called him “fat and happy”.  He’s outgrown the chubby part, but fortunately he’s kept the happy part.  He’s an incredibly hard worker and mostly works with a big smile on his face! Get to know Greyden better and what he does at Goat Milk Stuff by watching his video.…

  • Dyed Eggs

    Dyed Eggs

    We haven’t dyed Easter eggs in a long time. But this year, Mom surprised us and bought eggs for us to dye.  Now, that might not sound like a big deal to some of you, but she didn’t buy just a couple of eggs.  She bought 8 dozen eggs!!  That was a dozen for each…
