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 […]
The circus came to Charlestown this spring. The newspaper said you could watch the elephants put up the Big Tent, so we went to watch. You can imagine how disappointed the boys were to watch a bunch of guys running around setting up the poles and canvas. While we waited for the elephants to do […]
Girls will be girls – they will love flowers: Girls will be girls – they will love dressing up: Girls will be girls – they will love taking pictures with princesses: Girls will be girls – they will love baby goats (even if the babies don’t love them): Girls will be girls – they will […]
I have amazing cousins. And I love visiting them. Do you know what I like even more? Going to their birthday parties. Do you know why? Because my Aunt Heather and Uncle Adam pick the coolest places for birthday parties. Last year for the boys’ party, (they do one birthday party for all of the […]
On the second day of our vacation, we went to Princess arch. We went around on top, and then we tried to find a path to the bottom, so we could go underneath it. When we got to the bottom, this is what we saw. Yes, that is my brothers. Did you know that Colter […]
… the more they stay the same. I was digging around trying to find some old pictures the other day, when I came across these. In August 2008, we were at a friends house for dinner. And since they have a pool, we just couldn’t resist swimming in it! As I was looking at these, I kept […]
If you are a long-time reader of our blog, you probably know that Emery and I used to play violin. In 2008, we were a part of the band/orchestra for our Christmas carol sing. We had a blast doing that, and I still remember it VERY well. Although, I remember all of our Christmas Sings […]
This morning, after we were all awake, Mom challenged all of us to a jumping jack contest. The person who could do the most jumping jacks without stopping, would get extra chocolate chips in their pancakes!!! Everyone wanted to win. You see, my brothers are boys. And my Mom is a Mom. So she never puts […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I think Mom already told you I got a Nook for Christmas from Grandma. I was SO excited (still am). I had wanted one, but never thought that I would get one. Mom kept it a big secret. I did think I might be getting one when I saw that Mom and I had the […]
Jim and I were working hard the other night and I was late for making dinner. My darling daughter came out and announced that dinner would be ready in 10 minutes. I was so proud of her that she knew I was running late and took the initiative to make dinner all on her own. […]
We love the fact that our business is growing. But it has interfered with some of our Christmas traditions. At the very least, it has pushed many of them back from the first half of December to the second half of December. For example, we finally got our tree up this week. We could have […]
