  • Quiet On The Set!

    Today we did a lot of video filming! We filmed 2 Valentine’s Day videos, and 1 mailbag video. We have some really funny videos coming out.  The Soaper Bowl should be done tonight – I can’t wait to see Daddy and Indigo in that video. Mom won’t let me tell you too much about the…

  • Left To Do….

    Left To Do….

    Here is our to do list before we leave for Disney… Clean the goat stall out completely. Get the kid stall ready (take all the grain that was stored in there, and get it out). Give the goats their shots. All the boys need haircuts. We still need to be making soap. We still have…

  • Growing Up!

    Growing Up!

    Colter and I have started to help Mom with the computer work for Goat Milk Stuff. We have had a lot of fun helping her with small things before, but we finally have our “jobs”. Colter is going to be managing the Distributors, and doing a lot of the background work. Keeping everything running smoothly. I…

  • Sometimes…

      …I wonder what is going through her mind.   And then I decide… … that I don’t want to know. LOL        

  • Oh No!

    Oh No!

    We were driving to wrestling practice around sunset last night and the Hulk was acting strangely. We thought it was either a tire or the transmission. We were about 2 miles from our house, so Jim was trying to make it there. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it. The tire completely blew out. There was nothing…

  • Not Our Destiny

    Not Our Destiny

    We were driving someplace new earlier today. Fletcher noticed that something was different on Nuvi (our GPS). There was an ORANGE flag instead of a black and white checked flag to mark our destination. Fletcher: “What’s up with Nuvi?  Why is her flag orange instead of black and white?” Mom: “Good observation Fletchy-Boo! Nuvi’s flag…

  • Meet Brett

    Meet Brett

    Brett is the oldest of the Jonas children and displays many of the characteristics of a first-born. She is incredibly capable and responsible and we often call her our “CEO-in-training”.  You can watch her videos to get to know her better and see some of what she does around Goat Milk Stuff.   Brett is…

  • House Rules

    House Rules

    Whether spoken or unspoken, everyone lives by a set of rules. I’ve found that when running a large family, it helps to have those rules spelled out and posted for everyone to see. We have a cork board in our dining room (where we spend a lot of time). Our house rules are posted there…

  • Not Fair

    Not Fair

    Greyden and Hewitt were busy unloading the Hulk of lots of big, heavy stuff. Greyden very cheerfully announced, “Hewitt, there are only five left! You do two and I’ll do three and then we’ll be done!” (I thought that was very grown up of Greyden offering to do more.) Hewitt paused and thought about it,…

  • Thank You God For…

    Thank You God For…

    Whenever we go to church, Indigo and Jade have their favorite people to sit with. They will sit with Mr. Sweetland, Audrey, Samuel (at least, Indigo will), Mrs. Tate, and (of course) Mom, Dad, and me. They will sometimes sit with someone else, if there is a good reason for them to (like food or…

  • Counting Down!

    Counting Down!

    Colter got a countdown clock for his birthday. Since then he has set it for every big event that has come along. The end of his fiction fast, Christmas, and most recently, our Disney World vacation! So this past couple of weeks, every morning the boys will announce to the rest of us: “only 21…

  • Keeping Busy

    Keeping Busy

    We got about 3 inches of snow in the past couple of days. So the boys and I decided that it was perfect time to try out all of our new snow gear.We played around for a while. And then we decided to build a snow fort. Then we decided to build TWO snow forts.…

  • Silly Boys

    Silly Boys

    Last night, I had the following conversation: Fletcher: “Mom, who won the silverware?” Me: “What?” Fletcher: “The silverware – who won it?” Me: “Fletcher, what are you talking about?” Fletcher: “You know, the silverware, where the North fought against the South.” Me: “Ohhhhh! Fletchy, that was the Civil War, not the silverware.” Fletcher: “Ok, whatever,…

  • The Day After Christmas…

    The Day After Christmas…

    …was a Sunday. We go to a home church on the Sundays that we are free. On the day after Christmas, one of the moms planned a play that everyone had got to be a part of. Emery was Joseph and Hewitt was Baby Jesus: Fletcher was a sheep:     Someone found him a…

  • Ulterior Motives

    Ulterior Motives

    Everyone around here always loves Christmas. But this year, Brett, Cole, and Emery got really excited about it. Most of their gifts were very altruistic and something the receiver would really desire. But there were a few that I think were a little bit selfishly motivated. One of them was the box set of the…
