Reece the Chicken

Afton came home from the Pioneer Festivities with Reece the Chicken. Afton earned first prize honors in the Chicken Catch - she caught the one chicken that was let loose amongst about 30 other 6-7 year old chicken chasers. Afton is still awaiting approval from Dad (Mom just couldn't say no when Afton was hugging the chicken so tightly) on whether Reece the Rhode Island Red will be riding home from Wyoming to Texas with us...until then, Grandma will be chicken-sitting.

How is daddy going to resist those big, pleading eyes?

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
