We have the goats! We got six of them and we are going to get more today. It’s Jodi’s birthday today! She is one year old. Our grandma sent a doll for her.
We got a sheep the other day. She is due to lamb in April. And we are going to get Nubians nannies that are due to kid in April as well. We put up a fence in the front yard with the help of our friends. Cheerio
I went to the store with my dad and sister, Jenna. I was going to buy a harmonica but we couldn’t find them. So instead I bought binoculars. They are 12X25 and they came with a case. It cost $20.30 including tax. And Dad bought June a recorder.
Cheerio….Oh and I almost forgot happy New Years Eve!
I set my trap last night down by the pond on what I think is a rabbit trail. I used apple as bait. But I didn’t catch anything. So I left the trap out to see if I catch anything today.
Now that it’s warmer out the opossum hide is unfrozen so Jenna and I salted it and hung it up to dry. Cheerio.
I mentioned in my last post that I set my trap. I set it with an apple that Jonah didn’t finish eating. Jenna and I put the trap by a log and near it there were a couple burrows. Guess what I caught? I caught an opossum.
Here I am going to whack it with a stick.
I had to whack it several times but then my dad took a whack at it. That did the job.
We started at the neck. It was a little tough but we managed.
It was also hard to get around the head and legs.
Skinning the back was the easiest, then the sides. And when we where skinning we tried to not cut through the meat. We would skin in shifts because it was 35°F out and it was snowing.
Here I am trying to skin it with my sister's pocket knife. But it was hard so my dad got out his fillet knife.
Hi again. We went to a dance on June 27th . That dance wasn’t my favorite.
Yesterday we picked some carrots from our garden.
I got a sunburn yesterday. We have chickens and ducks. Some of the duck aren’t very friendly.
Hi, again. Jenna put a playlist and a big red button on my blog. Jessica got a blog. I think I might put some pictures on my next entry.
Mom got four magnifying glasses.
Hi, again. It’s raining outside. Jenna, Jessica and June were outside playing. I forgot to say in my last post that Pat Garrett captured Billy the Kid.
Billy was an outlaw. He was a cattle thief also known as a cattle rustler. I can type seventeen words per minute. Well I think that’s it.
Hi, again. Sorry I haven’t been bogging. Yesterday we went outside and we ate dandelion and clovers. The clovers were tough. The dandelion was tart. My sister Jill went to get an IV today with my dad. I got a book from the library. It’s called The Authentic Live of Billy The Kid by Pat Garrett.
My mom is sewing and the other kids are watching Fiddler on the Roof. We are having soup for supper. My dad went to the store to get vegetables for the soup. I did not get to eat the fish that I caught. My sister June was sewing mittens yesterday.
I went fishing with my Dad. I caught 7 fish but we did not keep them. My Dad caught 3 bigger fish and we kept them. Today we went rollerblading. It was cold so we did not stay out very long. John, Jason, and I are blogging and the kids are watching TV.

Hi, I haven’t been blogging because we haven’t been doing school.
We all went to the beach in California and we found sea shells. We were going to go to the big beach but there were too many big waves so we went to the baby beach. It was fun. We went to California in the first place to get a bus so we could travel in it but we did not get it.
We got home yesterday. While we were gone it rained. The grass is green finally. You would not expect to see green grass in Phoenix.
Hi again, my brother John got a blog a couple days ago. He is so excited. He is working on it right now. My Dad made a couple changes on our blogs. The other kids are watching TV.
We are cleaning a lot today because someone is coming over.
. I commented on Micah’s blog the other night. Mom is reading the kids a book.
