As the days go by...

....we watch as the brown winter landscape starts turning into a beautiful green valley! We even got some April showers the other day! 

I know it was a few weeks back, but how was everyone's Easter? We had a wonderful weekend. Brother Joseph listed out the messages for Friday thru Sunday! It was such a blessing to be able to worship with the many believers across the world! On Saturday we had a potluck for those who were still around.

We had a delicious meal followed by fellowship and volley ball! Then we all sat down to a wonderful message.

Sunday morning all the family came to our house at 6:00 for sunrise service. Everyone pitched in and we had a big breakfast afterwards. We then had morning and evening service. All the messages were such a blessing!

Recently Justin shot a nice size coyote... (thanks for letting me steal your picture Kaitlyn!) :)

 ...and Joshua decided to save the pelt. 

Skinning it out with a little help from a DVD a friend loaned him.

All skinned, fleshed out and ready for the stretcher! 

I think it turned out really nice for his first try!

 Jaylon and Hannah took a trip to Hawaii, so we got to keep Kyle for 5 days! He did really good and we loved having him here!

He followed Uriah everywhere! :)

 This picture is dark, but it was so cute when an airplane went over he wouldn't stop talking about it. He then leaned on the window sill waiting for another one to come.

 The kittens are getting so big, it's time we will have to say bye to a few of them. This is the one Micah picked. :)

 Another pig was recently butchered and the ground pork was pulled out of the fridge to be turned into sausage. Everyone was signed to a portion and the mixing began.

 Being that it just came out of the fridge, it turned our fingers numb!!

 Go Micah David!!

We had 50 lbs. of sausage mixed up in no time!

 Check out Micah and Jenny's website they are putting together at www.coyotesongfarm.com! It's turning out really cute!

The guys making roll away nests for the chickens.

 They turned out really cool and the chickens are learning to love them.

 It's built at a slant, so the eggs roll down into the front where the chickens can't get to them. This keeps them from eating their eggs and also keeps the eggs a lot cleaner!

 Giving it a test run... :)

Giving our porch a good scrubbing. What it really needs is a new coat of paint, but this will have to do for now.

We recently got all the windows washed. You don't realize how many there is till you start washing them all.

 Scrub, scrub, scrub!

My two puppies waiting for me to come play ball with them.

Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is having a great month!
