Spring is springing!

I love spring. It makes me giddy to see my
little flowers come up,
adding color to the leftover blah of winter.

My sister, Emily, got chickens a few months ago and I have been crazy for some ever since. We had chickens when our boys were preschool age. We loved the fresh eggs. While we were at Thanksgiving Point we saw some chicks for sale.

I asked Lane about getting some, really.
He said it wouldn't be a problem to house them with the rabbit in her pen.



Oh, the excitement was hard to contain!
This week Claire and I went to IFA and got these two little gals,
Jellie and Millie.
Lane got two more today, a different variety, for different eggshell color of course! We love a project! Lane's already got them set up in nesting boxes, minus the boxes for a couple of weeks.
He he, I'm so happy!

Clogging at Thanksgiving Point

Abbie had her first clogging competition last weekend and on Monday her group performed for a missionary reunion celebrating St. Patrick's Day...perfect costumes! These aren't great photos but they certainly convey the enthusiasm and energy of the event. We're so pleased with the opportunities for Abbie to perform, learn, work hard, achieve, etc. I could watch her clog for hours! I've always been fascinated with the sport and to see my beautiful daughter doing it so well is just plain fun!

As with any sport, there is an entire lingo just for cloggers. We're getting more acquainted, slowly but surely. Abbie simply loves clogging and is getting quite muscular. She never ceases to amaze me! She learned a lot,
we better understand the lingo,
and we can't wait for the Clogging Spectacular in St. George the end of March!
