Happy Birthday Indi!!

Yesterday was Indigo’s Birthday! She is 5 now! I cant get it! Got it!! Our Birthday traditions indicate that the birthday child (or adult) must give everyone a hug, so that they can get the money hidden under the place-mat of the person they are hugging. No hug, no money! Here she is…

What It Takes…

Have you ever wondered what it would take to get a family of 10 packed for 3 weeks? When you have to pack for playing in the snow in New Hampshire? And playing in the pool in Disney World? All in the same trip? It looks something like this (yes, we had to buy more…

Charades!

Mom and Dad had a date tonight. So they left for Louisville, and we finished up all of our work. Afterwords, I called all the kids together to make sure all the work was done. Once I was sure it was all finished, I told them that we could play a game of Charades! Then…

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….

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!

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…

Jason

Jason is one of our barn cats. We have two – Jim Bob and Jason. We used to have three, but we lost John Boy (actually we’ve lost several John Boys). Jason is a super mouser, which is important when you have little boys feeding your goats and spilling grain everywhere. The other day, I…

Sometimes…

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

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

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

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

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

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…

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…
