Hi Everyone!

Fall has arrived, and it looks like Fall has come to my blog too! With the new season, I just needed a new look! I got the banner from thecutestblogontheblock.com, I LOVE that site! :D

The leaves have started to change color a little here, but everything is still green. It feels like fall today too! It has been rainy and wet. I have heard that a lot of other states have been getting rain! I like rainy days sometimes, but they just make me tired! lol A good day to curl up and read a book or...blog! :)

I have something extra special planned for Saturday, so if you are reading be sure to come here Saturday! :D

I hope you all have a great day and Happy Fall or Autumn! :D

Love,

Liz

Hi Everyone!

This past weekend we visited with my Uncle Eric, Aunt Lisa, and my 5 cousins! It was a lot of fun! I wanted to show you some of the things we did during our visit...

We talked and saw their animals, like their chickens...

We played games...

Played on their Zipline (yes a Zipline!!)...

Had a cookout, over a fire...

Played on the Trampoline, even with our 1 year old cousin Timothy...

Went in their woods and climbed some hills...

...and most of all just had FUN! :D

Thank you Uncle Eric and Family for having us, we love you! :D

Love,

Liz

Hi everyone! :)

 We heard some weird noises around 9:00 this morning and Hope and I thought it was just geese flying over. We found out later when my dad got home that it was the chickens because, when my dad checked on them as he usually does he saw that...they laid their first eggs! They laid  three little brown eggs, and they were so tiny and cute! We were really surprised, because we thought they would start laying later in September! It was a big surprise, and I am really happy! :D

Here are pictures:

The cute little eggs in the nesting box. (The bigger one is the false egg that we put in there. :)

We think just the Buff Orphingtons laid eggs, because there are 3 (we have 3 Buffs) and they all looked the same. We don't know for sure though. :) Here is Mama Lucy! lol :D

Here is another one of our chickens, Haddie. She is so pretty! :)

It is so neat how chickens lay eggs. God is amazing. :)

Here are the small yolks! :) I cannot wait until we get eggs that we can eat! :)

So, there is our surprise for the day! :D

Love,

Liz
