Sadly, I have not done the best job of posting pictures, or transferring the pictures from my camera onto my computer. I found this out on Christmas morning, with a full memory card, and I am now in the process of moving over 2,015! pictures. At least Josh knows that my camera (a previous gift) is getting used! Yes I have been busy, but in the end I attribute being this behind to a general lack of discipline on my part. Something I will try to change in the next coming year. At least I'm not the only one though:

| Ryder's actual birthday |
 |
He woke up from nap early, so we sat out on the swing and shared oreos. Best
birthday memory yet |
 |
| Our newest baby chicks, and one ready to jump. |

I know typically when you have a farm, these 'weeds' are something you don't want.
For some reason though, I just think they are so pretty. |
 |
| Our garden, full of helpful little worms |
 |
| Tennis Ball lettuce, so happy it is Spring again! |

4th of July craziness of course, what other day do you give kids under 5 fire and let them
run around with it |

| I love how the girls are all crazy and Ryder's just in the back like yep what she said |

Short story, I went out to check on the chickens after dinner. Josh was watching TV on the couch
I came in & Ryder was helping himself to more dessert. Recipe found here, they are a 'healthy' dessert that
I LOVE, but not as much as Ryder
