Merry Christmas!!

Tease!!

I know it's been a while since our last post so I wanted to put up a little teaser picture to show what's coming up later when I have more time to post! We hope all are doing well and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!

More pictures

Who's that trotting over my bridge!!

We love ALL our chickens!!

She was the dancing queen....

Alyssa is so cute. She absolutely loves to dance but she is a bit camera shy so it is very hard to catch her in the act. It took quite a bit of sneaky recording but I was able to capture a bit of her rocking out when we were celebrating Matt's birthday with pumpkin carving at a friends house!!

I love her so much!

Alyssa has grown so much! She just gets cuter and cuter everyday. She loves to dance to music, feed grapes to the chickens, chase the dogs, climb up things and then promptly jump off. She is so much like her daddy too. She loves to read all day and take things apart. She loves to see how things work but she really doesn't like you to put it back together. Here are a few updated pictures of our sweet little angel!

Eggs at last!!

It's taken a lot of time and patience to get here but we finally did it!! Matt was so excited to find the first egg! Our eggs are blue. That's a picture of our egg next to one of our neighbor's eggs in the second picture!!

Alyssa + Beach = One Wet Happy Baby!!

My sister's visit!!

Ok, so it's been a little while since I've updated, I know. So I've got a lot of pictures to put up. First off, my sister in Michigan and her daughter Rachel came to visit at the end of July but unfortunately I was only able to hang out the last couple days. We made the most of it though. We went to the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point and then Matt and I took them crabbing for the first time. We had so much fun while they were here. Her little girl is so sweet. I can't believe how much kids grow!! I love my sister so much and if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have found the love of my life and have the beautiful little girl I have now! I cannot wait until I get to see her again! Hopefully it won't take another four years to find the opportunity!

Chickens!! Cluck, cluck!

Dave's visit!

For our move to Oregon we were fortunate enough to have Dave come up and help us with the move. We are so grateful and hope that he and his friends had a good time even though we still had to camp out at our new place while they visited. First Matt took them to the dunes and they rented a couple atv's and had some fun there, then we took them crabbing off the docks in Charleston, we also took them to see the falls near our house, and then finally they got to have fun feeding the neighbors cows when they came into our pasture behind our house. We had a fun time with their visit and we hope they had fun too!! Thank you Dave and all the Andrews!!

Alyssa's first trip to Golden Falls!

These pictures were taken on our quick trip to Oregon to find a place! We decided to take a quick drive up to Golden and Silver falls while we waited to see what is now our new home! We love it here and I have a feeling Alyssa does too!
