~Finally. The end of June

More experiments.  Sugar crystals.  They took one week to grow and then we pulled them out and ate them.  Yummy!
 



 
Noah finished his Wolf badge for cub scouts.  I see an Eagle Scout in our future.  Go Noah!  He's so cute.

 
The garden is coming along.


 
The chickens and turkey are also growing nicely.  We also acquired/got/received (can't come up with the right word) some other chickens.  A family in the ward was done with their chicken experience.  At the end of it all, we ended up with 6 extra chickens, taking the total to 10 chickens and 1 turkey.  One morning Brother Stapp just showed up and dropped them off.  Surprise! Hmmmmm.... The boys have fun finding eggs though and Adam enjoys eating them.  It's actually turned out to be quite the family bonding experience.
 


Simon the chicken whisperer.  Who knew he'd be so good with chickens.  The turkey however, hates Simon and picks on him all the time.  :(  Mean old turkey.
 

 
More fun at Chena Lakes.



 
We have realized that Simon is a borderline-hoarder.  Heaven help me!  One day I went to change his sheets (usually he strips his bed and makes it) and I found this.  GRODY!!  What is all this!?!  So when I was saying to him, "find a special place for your stuff or it's going in the trash..." this was his special place.  Another fun day being a mom.
