Ian's Red Ryder BB Gun

Ian's bb gun. It is my only gun besides my hand gun. It is my favorite gun. I dont get to shoot with it since we moved to the city. We looked at Lake Merdith but there were fences in the way. The bb gun is fun. I do not know how far it shoots,
but it is a nice bb gun.
and it cocks only one
time! and it is made
of wood and
metel!

Caelin's Gun, a Marlin .22 Long Rifle

I was proud when I got this gun. I had asked for one and on Christmas I saw a big box in the living room; that was it. I ripped it open. When I saw it I couldn't believe it. In a couple of minutes I was ready to go shoot something.

Pictures of Our Move to Borger

This was some of the corn we grew in our old garden

Some nice cacutuses (that is, if that's how you spell it :)

Morgan is soundly asleep as you may notice :)

Aidan looking out the window at the beautiful land.

This is the typical prarie scene...

it's so pretty, and quiet looking.

Our Backyard

The Canyon

Back to Chickens!

Last night, we planted a late fall garden- I think we'll manage this time to get a little more out of our garden than the last 2... Our last fall garden died because of the frost :-P Than we moved before our spring garden had time to be harvested :'(. So I hope this one will at least turn out better. Our backyard of course has 4 fences going all around so we decided to put in two gardens- one in front of the right and left fence. Well there's a lady dog next door who Jack likes to bark at, when he barks, he gets right next to the right fence (where our garden is) so we have him chained until we figure out what to do with him.
Next project is to build a compost with some pallets. Daddy has been looking by dumpsters and in allies and lo and behold he found four (on seperate days of course) pallets. All that's left to do is build it and we're ready to go!

School Again!

We've started school again jiggedy jig jig! I think we'll be doing a lot more than we used to this year. That's alright though- I'm looking forward to be on schedule! These prarie nights are hard! It finally gets dark at about 9:30 and at 8:00 in the morning it's completely sunatized haha.
I think for history this year we're learning about medevil times... so that's going to be interesting.
I don't believe I've mentioned that Morgan and I have started something on Mondays, we pick out a recipe and make whatever it is for supper- we only try new recipes. Last Monday we tried Chicken parmesan, mmmmmm... that was good but I think I was supposed to flatten the chicken breast- oops!
Well this is a short one- I'm actually needing to look for a new recipe for Monday that is coming up soon!

Life in the big city

We went to our friends house for supper... and their house was nice and cool! We've been running our house on window units which really does the job well, it's just we can't leave the window units on upstairs, and when we come up you all but suffocate and stumble around to find the button to the unit thingy.
But anyhow, I'm finding that city life is awfully boring compared to the farm. However, I have a bit of good news! Firstly we have a greenhouse in the backyard so I suppose we'll be making use of that come fall. Secondly, we found a chicken company that is run in Texas... somewhere... And we're getting ten of the Barred Rocks. We looked at the laws of Borger and we found out that you can have I guess most any animal in the city as long as they are contained and when are taken out they have to be on a leash. Yes, I'm looking forward to walking ten chickens on a leash down the street... Hahaha. And I know what the neighbors would be saying
"Those people from Tennesse sure are strange! I sure do wish that their kids would stop walking their chickens all over the place- my kids are getting idea about the guinea pigs!!!
