Update!!!!!

For all of you people that think I have fallen off the face of the earth.... I haven't! I have just been busy with life... Here is an update! The chickens are growing fast and getting ready to start giving us eggs. The two older ones have already been giving us eggs and we LOVE them. They are so delicious and much better in taste than the store bought eggs. We have planted in our garden beans, black-eyed peas, loofa gords, lemon cucumbers, peppers, sweet potatos, potatos and lots of herbs. Most of these I planted from seeds. I did plant Popcorn and amaranth but the heat, birds and ants finished these off for me. So I am working on a better system so I can replant them.

The sweet potato was about 8 inches long and about 3 inches around. We had it with ham! It was great to eat something we grew!

This is Colton's first day of school! He is doing really great this year and he loves his teacher. This is the same teacher he had in 1st grade...

Ready for the Big Day!

We have been having lots of fun with our little "ranchito". I am also sceduled to take the RN license exam of September 11, 2009 so if you can all say a litlle prayer for me that would be great. We are very excited about the new possibilities this accomplishment will give to Colton and I.... Thanks for all your love and support.

Colton Says....

July 15, 2009 ~ The Economy
I usually buy the good healthy bread full for grains but the other week I had to buy the cheep 99cent bread with no flavor and little nutrition! I fix a sandwich for Colton and I for lunch. Colton took a bit and said, "Mom, why did you buy this bread?" I told him that was what I could afford this week. He then said, "With the way the economy is people can't even afford good bread!" This amused me so I asked,”What do you know about the economy?" He replied rather indignantly, "I watch the news with you. I listen to the important stuff and then I go play."

January 15, 2009 ~ Frost Bite
Colton and I were walking through the temple to visit a friend. It was dark and cold. We stared to talk about when Colton and his cousin Rachel was playing in the snow in Utah. I told Colton that I was so afraid that he would get frost bite because he was out there so long. Colton must have not know what frost bite was because he said, ".... Oh Mom,.... I don't need that, I’m just a kid." I was confused so I asked him what it was that he did not need. He replied, "You know, that thing you just said, frost bite."

October 2008~The Jitter Bug Song
We were watching a dance program and they played a certain Jitter Bug Song.
Colton said, “hey my dance teachers has that song, but we don’t do those moves.”
“Oh, really, Why?”, I asked
“Well you have to hold a girls hand.”
“Oh, is that against the rules at school?”
“No, that is allowed but US boys don’t want to hold a girls hand.”

December 06, 2008 ~ Highway Robbery
The other day I was helping my mother look for a certain DVD on ebay. They wanted way too much for the DVD so I said that it was highway robbery…. Later that night Colton and I were looking for another item on ebay and it too was too much. Colton remembered what I said about the item earlier that day and said, “That is robbery on the go.” He was trying to say “Highway Robbery”

"Focus on driving"
This morning I was driving Colton to his Aunt Starr's house to be babysat. We were listening to music in the car and it was good dance type of music. I said to Colton, "boy, we could have a party in the car and dance." Colton said, "do you want to get in an accident?" I said, "no" then he said, "you better focusing on driving! My friend Joshua got in an car accident with his older bother driving and the side of the car came all the way in and touched him." Colton is so wise and serious for his years. 10/10/08

"Professional"
Colton wanted a Star Wars costume for Halloween. I offered to make him one. He replied."Mom, I want a "professional" Costume. I guess MY sewing is not professional enough for him..... so I made him earn half of the price for the "professional" costume! And he was earned $20.00 for the costume! 09/30/08

"Tax"
It is a standard procedure for me to take a "bite" out of Colton's popcicle, sandwhich or any other food item that I am serving him. When he questions me about the bite I took, I always tell him that the bite is payment of "tax". So the other day he asked if I wanted a popcicle and I said yes. He opened my popcicle and took a bite then proudly proclaimed, "That's my change!" He could not remember the word tax. I laughed so hard. 09/29/08

"A Fly"
There was a fly in the house tonight, and I was chasing it around trying to kill it. I was complaining about the fly and Colton said in a very informational kind of way, “Flies only live 14 days…. Don’t worry Mom, we only have 13 more days.” It was so funny. I asked Colton where you learned this information and He you said, “Mrs. Ramsey told me.” She was his 1st grade teacher.
