Chicken coops, Egg coloring and Flowers

Well, i cleaned the house today, than it got torn to bits again like ten minutes after i cleaned... the best part of having kids:) let me tell ya... anyways..  Took Samwise to the vet thinking he had an ear infection, it turns out he as an anal infection instead... wow.... poor dog.. anyways.  It was quite the experience .. poor thing got raped by a ..thingy ma-gig.  Hes on anti biotics now.  And he also got his shots. :)   Ben, Jasper and Shiloh and I went on some adventures today. To lowes  and pet co  and a farm store to buy chicken coop stuff:) Its time to take our chicks out of the house and into the real world of outside.    And can i just say, the reason why i dont take my kids shopping with me is because they become little hellions ...Shiloh screams bloody murder and Jasper likes to run around and take things off shelves and tease Shy.  And Shiloh reacts... so   Ben expierenced first hand what it was like... all this time he has said, " it cant be THAT bad." HA!  
Jasper and Shiloh got to color easter eggs today, and Ben and I went on a date to see G.I Joe....I CANNOT BELIEVE CHANNING TANTUM DIED WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF THE FILM!!! holy crap....   well it was a productive day!  I got some flowers too and some cant-elope seeds and watermelon seeds!






Sick day.

Thats all there is too it.  I have been in bed all day, Its one of those days where I was depressed, sick and miserable all in one.  thats all i have to say about today..

And for that moment, everything was perfect.

Today I got up,  fed Jasper and Shiloh their breakfast, And than we went outside....again:)  I am loving this weather so much!  We decided to go on another mile walk, but this time, in a jogger. Can i just say, MUCH EASIER than the stroller... wow!   Anyways.  The horses came out today in the fields:)  I was sitting on my couch, wishing my grass was green  but besides the point, it will get that way soon, i was looking out my huge window and seeing the horses, looking at my garden, and at the trees and the beautiful sun and my two kidlets and i thought to myself. what a awesome life i have! And for that moment, everything was perfect.

Just watching the horses in our backyard.

they love the mile walk!

loving the sun!

Best friends forever!

Gardening

Today was a pretty much out door day.  Went to the garden shop with Jasper and Shiloh. Bought some onions, leeks, carrots and some flowers of sorts and fertilizer etc.  Came home, pulled weeds for about 2 hours and raked, made the soil workable,  planted the stuff and just as i planted the flowers and put them in the ground....Shiloh steps all over them.... the most expensive ones too...it was rather frustrating.. But i fixed it.  Than Shiloh got a hold of the weed whacker thing and stabbed me in my eye with it ( on accident of course) so, i officially have a eye that is swollen. Jasper just played and helped dig, climbed trees, etc.. Im going to put a waterfall in the backyard and stepping stones with some trees in the back so im trying to get it all set up.  And i cant wait to get my garden set up!  In a talk once in conference someone said, " one day i promise you, you will be living off of what you grow"   so i'm making sure we got all the good stuff just in case:)  
This is my crew!

Just the best little helper.....poor flowers....

of course, Jazz is climbing a tree and Shiloh is following close behind

relaxing with Jazz while Shy took a nap

this is his bed head hahaha

Kidney stones and easter eggs in trees

Today, my last kidney stone is coming out... it hurts :(   i had the kids sent to grandmas while i go through this ..last time they were in the living room watching t.v and i was screaming of pain in the bathroom.   It was hard to NOT cry around them.  It got Jasper very worried.  He automatically knew something was wrong this morning and brought me cereal in bed and said, " Mom i think i'll go to grandmas today," and than when Shiloh started walking in with Ben, Jasper said, " Your not allowed to go in there mommy is sick and i'm her guard." ha ha ha what a sweet kid.    
Jasper helped grandma put up Easter decorations.  It was cute:)  my mom always hangs plastic eggs on the trees at her house.   Tradition as you may call it:)

Im gonna do this.

Alot has happened.  We finally are in our house.  Its so wonderful. In a good and awesome ward which we love, great neighbors, our yard is huge. Lots of space.  We are very grateful! Ive decided im going to write a blog a day, even if they are boring, im gonna try. :)  Its been nice living walking distance to both sides of the family. I walk up to my parents almost daily. Its a mile walk. But its good for the kids and myself.   My health is doing great!  Besides the kidney stones of course haha
We gave a talk in church on the 24th of March :) i think it went well.  Ben did great too! On other note. Our old town house complex has been giving us hell. Personally i dont think it should be our responsibility to paint  or pay for it.. seriously.  but we set up payment plans to pay off the 1000 dollars we owe to move out of that hell hole.   I keep thinking positive though. We are out of that horrid place!!!
Easter is coming! Jaspers favorite holiday,  he loves finding the eggs and putting up the decorations.   We just had both Shilohs and Jaspers birthday's!  Jazz turns 3! and Shiloh turned 1!  love those pups!
We got chicks!  They are adorable.  All hens.  Gonna do that whole egg laying thing:) Cant wait to get my garden started! Already planted the peas!
Walk time!

Merry, Pippin, and Dumbo
