Chuck E. Cheese

We went to the birthday party of a new friend today. His name is Jaxon and he and his two brothers and his little sister are great kids. J and L love them all and we've had fun meeting them at the park, lunch at Wendy's, and at a local nature trail. Their Mom is a great lady too, and we will miss them as they are moving soon. Hope to keep in touch with them via their Mom's blog. And guess what? I actually got started on this blog at this site because of her suggestion. Thanks, Alicia!

I haven't been to Chuck E. Cheese's (sp?) in a long time. It was fun! The boys had a blast playing with the kids and the games, and Little Sister E slept the time away in her car seat/stroller. She was such a good girl sleeping through all that noise!

In other family news...

We have two chicken that have taken to sitting on eggs. They have more than a dozen under them between the two of them. Not sure that all the eggs are fertile, but DH has "candled" the eggs with a flashlight and has seen evidence of growing chicks. The boys are so excited that they could burst! I hope some of the chicks make it. Would be so much fun to hatch our own chicks. One hen is an Auricana (or Easter-Egger) and the other is a Buff Orpington. Our rooster is also an Auricana. Very cool. Maybe all the chicks will be hens and lay colored eggs (insert wishful thinking here...). We get eggs in varying shades of green (mint to dark olive,) , light blue-green, browns, pinks and peaches. Haven't received many peach or pinkish eggs lately. I'm thinking they may be the hens we lost to stray (or unleashed) dogs and another to being egg-bound.

Walked 3.4 miles with the family tonight. E and L in the Chariot trailer/stroller and J on his bike. DH and I walked. Strolled the neighborhood hills. Nice evening to be out walking. Trying to do it more often to get back in shape after Little Sister's arrival, and DH wants to get back in shape after his "pregnancy" gain too .

Oh and I learned how to add pictures today. However, I'm not on the computer that has my pictures. Eventually I'll get it all together and get pictures posted here regularly of the kids' activities and such.

That's about it for now. Getting tired and need to finish the laundry before bed. Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Wishing you all the best for a good day.
