Spring break at it's finest

For the past 12 years or so, every spring break has always been trips either from Malta to Moscow or Moscow to Malta, but this year, I didn't venture on that long trip with Holly and my dad and neither did my mom; therefore my mom and I have been bonding pretty much every night. With Bordee working long hours now that the weather is getting warmer I have alot of time to myself. However, my mom and I have been busy doing many different things..well actually just one major thing and that was making these lovely curtains for my house. I actually just got the fabric the other day. I ws so HAPPY!! Since we moved in ,back in August, I have been trying so hard to find that fabric that I fell in love with and I do have it around my house here and there, but I really wanted to make curtains, but couldn't found it, UNTIL Loralee was in Wal-mart in Jerome and there it was!! She is so nice and  picked me up some, and that night, we made them!! My mom is such a good sewer :)

They turned out really nice and I was super excited to put them up :)

Also a while back I bought these frames at a craft show and was needing to put them up but never seemed to fine time, until...now!!

And last but not least, the Chickens!! :) How are they getting big so fast, jeez, they really aren't friendly anymore and it is sad, but I do try to catch them, and hold them, but man that is a job! You walk to one side of the box and they run to the other, then you move over to the other and they move to the other side..it is almost impossible and without fast moving hands, let me tell you , you will not catch one of them!!

Well that is what my spring break is consisting of lately, but hey it's only Wednesday ;)

Little bit of this and a little bit of that

Well it for sure has been a long time since the last post, but alot has been going on in our lives. So hear is a recap of the last few weeks...

Brodee decided that he wanted to start this lovely project of building a chicken coop, so you know what that means...CHICKENS!! Yep little baby chicks, and let me tell you they are so cute! This is the beginning of what it looks like, we still have a lot to do, but it's coming right along.

In the meantime, meet the chickens! There are ten of them, 5 black ones and 5 yellow ones. They are all laying hens...except maybe for 1; we think he might be a rooster.

The night that we bought these chickens, it decided that it was going to snow AND kick our power off for 12 hours. This resulted in no heat lamp for the little fellows...which meant they were being held in towels to keep warm and being warmed in the box with a candle and tin foil. Believe it or not, non of them died!

Another big thing, was that we bought a truck! It's a Dodge and we sure do love it! And it actually gets pretty good gas mileage which is always a plus. :)

 And...LAST BUT NOT LEAST...the BIRTHDAY BOY!!!

Happy Birthday Brodee!!

On March 17th he turned 23 years old!!

Somethings about Brodee:

 He never stops moving, he is moving all the time: working or fiddling with something.

He likes to drink warm water.

He thinks Malta is the "City."

He never gets cold..when you touch his skin it is always warm.

He loves the DI.

Almost everytime we go to Sportsmans, he buys a knife.

He always walks behind me and shuts ALL the lights off in the house...quite annoying!!

Eats ketchup with everything.

Doesn't like butter on his toast.

Faithful home teacher.

He has a unique laugh, you can find him in a crowd of people with one little laugh.

Favorite color is blue.

He really likes popcorn on Sunday nights with salt and a little bit of butter.

Of course the cute little couple..HOLLY and Emmet

We had both families over for cake and icecream on Sunday for his birthday!

It has been a great, and fast moving past weeks, its crazy how time flies when you stay busy with different things. :)
