Catching up!

Howdy!

TJ reminded me this morning that I needed to post "something" on our blog again, since it's been quite a while! Sorry about that! I guess I just lost track of time! We've been busy around here, but if you actually asked what we've been up to, I probably would end up saying something like, "Oh not much, same as usual." It's hard sometimes to give an answer, when in reality we HAVE been busy on so many different projects. But we do so many different things, I don't know how to describe it all!

Let's see, our family recently went to visit our Springville community of friends. Ben and TJ helped one of the young men up there in doing something akin to "barn-raising." The young man will be getting married in May, and still had a lot to do to get the new house ready. So our boys wanted to go and help him with drywalling and other jobs. It was wonderful to see them all in action, working to bless the young man and being blessed in return! That was about three days of work, and they really got a lot done!! And had a lot of fun in the process, too!

We recntly finished our garden for this year, and things are growing along nicely! I love to look out my kitchen window and see all of the plants! My tomato plants alone have grown at least five inches! YAY!

We also got some new chickens again! This involved building a chicken coop, which I am so glad for this time! They have their own little yard to run around in and are safe for times when we are away from home. No coyotes this year! We got six chickens which were almost ready to lay, and sure enough, the day after we got them, we got our first egg!! We will be getting some baby chicks in the near future! They are always so cute and fun to watch!

We have been practicing some new songs, and are preparing for some *hopeful* travels this summer and fall, Lord willing.

Our family business is doing well, and God is opening some new doors for us! We'll see what develops from all of that! God is Faithful, and we are so thankful to HIM for that!

Not much of a post this time. Mostly just catching up on what we've been doing here.
Thanks for stopping by long enough to read through it! Leave a comment if you like, 'cause we always like to hear from you!!

Our Blessings to You!!
