Boys making Christmas chains to hang on the tree


Isaac loves to stand up and then waits for us to cheer.


He loved getting rides in the cart and cried when we took him off.


 
Adam asked if he could give Isaac his bottle



 
Eli likes to read this book, especially the "opps" on each page.

He thought he should try the rocker but that didn't last long either.

Peyton is spending the next two nights with us:)

Still not to fond of Uncle Jared


Jacob went to the dentist today to have a tooth pulled. His permanent tooth had grown in behind his baby tooth. Jacob was very nervous about this appointment and let them know it. They assured him that this appointment would be better than his last. He asked her if he could keep the tooth and she said he'd get a little treasure box for it. He did very good for this appointment, even with the x-rays. Once it was done and we were out in the van he said, "Next time you say I need to have a tooth pulled I'm not gonna say awww, I'm gonna say YES!" We went to Vikki's house afterwards. She made the boys pizza for dinner. Jacob had a chocolate shake. Peyton came home with us to spend the night. Jacob wrote this note to the Tooth Fairy. It says, This tooth got pulled out from the dentist. Can I keep it? I can't think of when he's ever wrote without being told to.

Happy Birthday Max!!

 

Hailey in her school Christmas program



This morning we went out for our Sat am drinks and donuts. Back at home Jacob and Kenzie brought a few chickens into the house. They sat with them on the kitchen floor and fed them pancakes. Kenzie and I play a couple games of checkers. While Eli was napping we went outside. Kenzie helped us clean the sheep stall. Then Jared and I caught the ram. We took off his breeding harness and noticed that he smelled awful. The harness had rubbed on him, making a nasty sore which was infected. We dumped peroxide on in and put on antibiotics. Then we moved him into a new paddock. We dragged him halfway before having Kenzie come  walk behind him with me. He took right off then and walked easily all the way to the paddock. Then we caught Clarence (our goat). Kenzie, Jared and I dragged him to the paddock with Kenny. We caught Maude and put her in with the ewes. She is pretty easy to catch in her old age. The two lambs were also out with them and were much harder to catch. Jacob and Adam also helped us. We had to moved a round bale into the sheep stall. It was stacked on top of other round bales and was very hard to get it down. We made several levers to stand on and got it down. The boys helped us roll it over to the stall. This evening we went to Hailey's school Christmas program. It was very nice and we enjoyed it.
