  • Slow?… Really?

    January through April is our slow time of the year. Really, it is. For two of those months we aren’t milking goats. There’s very little outside maintenance to do. Our show schedule for selling soap is very minimal.We don’t have to leave the house very often.There’s no garden to take care of.There’s no food to…

  • You Are The…

    You Are The…

    Jim and I have been taking a walk together every day. It’s awesome. We leave the children with some chores to do and a reward if they get them done by the time we return, and then we disappear. For at least 45 minutes. We walk, we talk, we sweat. Good stuff. We actually have…

  • How Old Are You?

    How Old Are You?

    Jim asked Jade how old she was. She answered, “I’m two.” Then she paused and thought for a while… And added, “I’m going to be four in my life.” It’s good to see she’s planning for the future.   

  • Just Another Day

    Just Another Day

    Easter Sunday is pretty much like most other days around the Jonas homestead. There are still goats to milk and babies to feed and chores to be done. Because our families are all out of state, we don’t have a big family get together. So what did we do today? We enjoyed each others company…

  • Not the Correct Use of Crayons

    Not the Correct Use of Crayons

    We had dinner out and the children were all given a few crayons to color with (God Bless whoever came up with that distraction). We enjoyed our dinner and left. A few hours later, I discovered Indigo looking like this: Yes, that would be blue crayon drawn all over her mouth. I’m not sure what…

  • So, Children, Why Do We Celebrate?

    So, Children, Why Do We Celebrate?

    During dinner last night, I asked the children why we celebrated Easter. When I ask questions like this, I always start with the youngest and go up. Mom: “So, why do we celebrate Easter?” Jade: “Cause we make soap” Indigo: “Cause we make lots of soap” Hewitt: “Cause we make soap and sell it to…

  • Wrinkle City

    Wrinkle City

    We were very excited when we found out that Grandma and Poppy were part time Disney employees and could get us into Disney for free. But see, the problem is, they only have so many free passes. And… well… if we were an average sized family it wouldn’t be a problem. But we’re not exactly…

  • Jade

    Jade

    Jade had so much fun at Disney, but it wore her out a little:    

  • Grey Bear

    Grey Bear

    Colter is the serious one. Greyden’s… not:    

  • My Colter

    My Colter

    Colter is such an awesome young man. He is so strong and so capable. And he’s also a real cutie: He’s going to make some young lady very happy some day. Til then, he makes me happy. (Most of the time)  

  • Norway

    Norway

    Norway (in Epcot) had a little ride and a movie about the country. Afterwards they let you out through their gift shop. Hmmmm…. not sure that was a great idea: Do you know what it took to get the children to put down those weapons? Especially Jade:  

  • Animal Kingdom

    Animal Kingdom

    Animal Kingdom was the one day we went into the park that it rained. Which was a bummer. Or was it… Normally we just get to watch the Lion King Show (our favorite section to sit in is the Lion Section). But not this year. This year we got to participate. Twice. Emery, Fletcher, and…

  • Hollywood Studios Block Party Bash

    Hollywood Studios Block Party Bash

    We love to enjoy the different parades at the park. But probably our favorite parade is the Hollywood Studios Block Party. It is so interactive and fun for the children. The parade stops at different points and put on a show. While you’re waiting for the show to reach you, they get the kids out…

  • Determined to Finish

    Determined to Finish

    When we went to Disney in 2009, I think I blogged about two days of our trip. My children were very upset with me. So I’m determined to finish this year. I just wish Grandma hadn’t taken over 800 photos!      

  • Happy Birthday, Indigo!

    Happy Birthday, Indigo!

    Today is Indigo‘s Birthday – she’s FOUR! She’s very proud of herself for blowing out her candles on her ultra yummy breakfast birthday cake that Emery and Fletcher made:   Time for our birthday tradition of hugging everyone before getting your present: The children dragged mom and dad out of bed, so we’re looking a…
