April fools day!!

Today has been a fun, and quite scary day! Not sure whats around the corner!

(I just saw this pic and thought it would fit the occasion!)

I made "Orange juice" at lunch, and Joshua fell for it! It was actually Mac n cheese powder in water with some ice cubes! Don't worry, he barely drank a sip!  
We have also squirted water at each other all day! I wonder what is next to come!??

God's dishes ( :

A few days ago we were deciding who would have what chore/job and Joshua and Levi got picked to be the dishwashers and counter cleaners. Well, I was happy that I wouldn't have to do dishes, but Josh wasn't. With a family this big it is not a fun job, if you look at it as not fun.
Tonight there was a load of dishes and so he wasn't at all looking forward to washing them.(Probably cause they couldn't all fit in the dishwasher! :) I decided that I would do all of the dishes tonight, so I came up with a fun way to look at doing them.
I pretended that all of the dishes were God's dishes and we had just finished a great big meal in heaven! Every time that I was tempted to "half" wash a dish and hope that no one notices it, I thought, "Everything has to be sparkling for the next meal and God would not be very happy if His plate was not clean!' It worked quite well and before I knew it, all of the dishes were clean and ready to use for the next big meal!
Joshua was SOO happy that I did all of his dishes and I think viewing it as God's dishes will help him to get done with them on time and not look at them as a burden. Maybe this will help you too! : )


   Oh, and I don't really know if there will be meals in heaven, but we will see when we get there I guess! Tell me if you would volunteer to wash dishes even them!!! :D

Hi!!!

I'm so excited to have my own blog! I will start by telling you about our animals. My sister, Ashley (who also has a blog, www.ashley-funfarmgirl.blogspot.com) has 7 rabbits and I have 2 rabbits. I also have 2 cats. I feed them and our 13 dogs/puppies! They are Golden Retrievers and are like so beautiful! And yes, 11 of them are puppies! Ashley feeds the rabbits (including mine) and our pig, Fiona that really thinks she is a dog! If you pet her she'll lay down! I'm serious! Ash did a blog post about her. (I think.) And then we ALSO have 6 horses and a miniature horse! The mini, Bob, is mine and so is Bo. Bo also thinks he is a dog and will let you sit on him while he is laying down, and rub him all over! He really is a big sweetheart! And then to finish it off, a fish and a wild bunny,(somewhere) (in our house!) Which I will tell you about in a second. Okay, it has been a second. Like 4 days ago Joshua, Levi, and me were walking Koda (our big BEAUTIFUL golden) in the field and he takes off like a mad dog and chases a momma rabbit out of her hole and all over the (20 acre) field. Then Kinsley starts chasing this adorable little bunny. Levi caught it and gave it to me to dry off. It was just barely hurt so we took it in the house. We gave it some milk and the boys got a basket all set up for it. Unfortunately that night it like jumped out somehow and is now roaming our house.  

                           

Well, that's all I can really think of for now! So see ya!!!!  : )
