what a year.

Well it's July again, just a year later. I'm terrible at this blog thing, however a lot has happened so I will fill you in. Thomas moved out last August, and they struggled a bit, but then he landed a job with a company called PRECORP. He is working as a machinist, they make diamond drill bits that are used on commercial airplanes. Anyways he got that job in October and worked full time, went to MATC from 0730 am to 1030 am then to high school until 2:30pm then went to work from 3:30pm to 12:30 am. He was quite busy and stuck with it. He graduated from MATC May 20, 2011 and High school May 23, 2011. It was awesome. I'm so proud of him. He and Britnie also decided to get married and did on January 15, 2011. Diane did the cake and once again was a knock out. She does a wonderful job, and was very kind to do it for cost since they had no money. Brianna is almost 2 now and adorable, you just have to love her. She has now started saying Grandma and Poppa, so perfectly. She loves to come to our house and play with her 2 uncles. Anyways at Easter time we decided to try our hand at raising baby chicks. We were quite successful and had 7 hens and 1 rooster. Nathaniel has become our chicken cowboy, he is terrrific at catching a rogue chicken when they are out of the cage.
I said that we had 7 hens, that is until Nathaniel helped one go to heaven. He didn't mean to. One afternoon, I look out in the yard and see Nathaniel with this small blue cooler he takes it into the chicken pen and sets it down and sits on it. I thought it was kind of cute, and he left it there when it started to rain. 3 of 4 days later the chickens were again out and we put them back, but I only count 6 hens and 1 rooster. I said oh no we are missing a chicken. Nathaniel pipes up, mom my black chicken in the cooler. You know I was dreading openning that cooler. I opened it up and there was poop everywhere, that poor chicken had died a horrible death. Nathaniel was upset and crying that his chicken was dead. He told me I just wanted to take it with us to the cabin. So now he is a chicken killer too! Kids are so much fun, your life will never be dull if you have children.
