24

IMG_2849 In case y’all wondering why I have not updated the blog for the past week and a half, I’ve been consumed with the movie “24”. Yes, you can say I’m addicted to 24.

I realized season 7 of 24 was aired maybe over a year ago and I just started watching it last week, and I knew, once I started I can’t just walk away from it. The beauty of DVD, I can keep watching and watching with no commercial.

This time the story is all about government corruptions, conspiracy, bio-chemical weapons, and more government corruptions. It made me think, hhmm, do we have anybody in this country like Jack Bauer that can clean up our current administrations? Clean up the current corruptions?

Eggs . . . We Got Two Eggs!

IMG_2746 Just an update on the chickens, we are so excited in the past couple of days we’ve been getting two eggs a day. We are on our way to be egg farmers . . . LOL.

Chickadee & Zebree laid these two eggs and hopefully the other two will be laying soon.

Write Your Representative - Important

nancy-pelosi-5-29-08 We need your action to stop PelosiCare before it gets voted on this Saturday. Before it happens, we need to email (Click the word ‘email’ for easy link to write) and call 202-224-3121 our elected representatives to demand that they vote NO on HR 3962.

The problem with this bill:

1. This legislation still funds abortions with our taxpayer dollars. 2. Its price tag is outrageous and will be crippling to our economy.
3. Nationalized health care systems always disadvantage the elderly and the very sick.

4058619600_d432b08482_o Even if you've never contacted your representative before, please do so today. It's really important!

 

Facts: few more reasons to oppose HR 3962

News Flash: Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion Procedure

This is great news for the pro-life movement, but much prayers and sacrifices need to be done still on the pro-life issues! Slowly but surely, person by person, one heart at the time, and just remember we are on God’s timing not ours.

The Chickens Got An Addition

I made an addition to the chicken coop last week so the chickens will have a little bit more area to roam around. Some would call the addition, the chicken runs. We are calling it the ‘screened in playground’.

Transformers Or iPhone Costumes

The movie Transformers is one of my favorite movie and if I have to wear a costume, I would have to go as ‘Bumble Bee’s Transformers’

But then, I might have to go as an iPhone!

Which one would you choose?

Fun Friday – The Other Side

mt rushmoreIf you ever been to Mount Rushmore you know how magnificent the sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents are. Have you ever wondered, how it looks on the other side of the mountain? Well, thanks to my sister-in-law, who is living in Canada, she has revealed the other side of Mt. Rushmore and what it really looks like from the Canadian side.wr

Fun Friday – Car Controlled With An iPhone

You would think this is a fake, but there are actually a group of smart people in Germany (Spirit of Berlin) who did this autonomous car project.

I’m going to see if they can make an autonomous chicken feeder controlled with an iPhone so I can feed the chickens from inside the house when it is raining.

Update on Christiana Mary

IMG_2685Some of you are fortunate enough to see how fast our children are growing up and some can only keep up through this blog. What ever the case maybe, this is just an update about Christiana, and you can see what she looks like from time to time. Today she is 9 months and she is just getting cuter and cuter by the day, of course that’s her Daddy talking! You might think otherwise. As you can see on this picture, we sat her down in front of the piano, just maybe, the interest is there . . . never too early!

We are so blessed!

The Chicken Coop Got An Upgrade, v 2.2

I made the chicken coop two weeks ago and two weeks later I decided to give it an upgrade. The original chicken coop was nice, but I just got tired of it, I feel the chickens are cooped up in it (no pun intended). Not really practical to be able to catch the chickens when the girls want to hold any of the chickens. You really have to crouch down to do anything, but now we can go in it and a lot more room above, and the chickens looks so much happier too.

Conversation With A Three Year Old

About five months ago, Coby had a conversation with Abigail when she was two year old (click here to read). Today, Coby had another one of those conversation with Abigail, but now she is three years old and this took place right after finishing their first reading lesson and Abigail wants to get Christiana;

coby_small Okay, are you all done?

Yah, because I’m distracted

abigail_small
coby_small Distracted?

Yah, I’m serious, my brain is distracted

from you talking to me.

abigail_small
coby_small Oh!

Fun Friday, Part II – The Nobel Peace Prize

IMG_2674How funny is this? When I read the news about the Nobel Peace Prize this morning I couldn’t stop laughing and I’ve been thinking so hard, what has Obama done to deserve this Nobel Peace Prize?

I thought the Nobel Peace Prize is that they are about achievement (I like to hope it is for good achievement, but after Al Gore . . . I don’t know anymore!). The more and more I think about it, well, is not really Obama’s fault that he wins the Nobel Peace Prize or whether or not he deserves it or the fact that we still have war in the womb, but how idiotic the Peace Prize Committees are! Are they desperate? Is ACORN in the committee? Is it the hope & change thing? Did they feel sorry for him because he didn’t win the Olympic bids for 2016? But, it can’t be the Olympic thing, because the committee voted on February 1st 2009, two weeks after he took office. 

I couldn’t come up with anything and my conclusion is, the Peace Prize Committees has lowered their standard and has cheapening the purpose of the award!

UPDATE: It shows that I’m not alone, Creative Minority Report congratulated Obama!

UPDATE II: From Times Online in UK; absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize

Fun Friday

A Turtle Amongst The Chickens

My sister-in-law said it best, “you are on your way to being called, farmer-mike”. After the chickens, today I surprised the girls by bringing a land-turtle home. I found this little guy crossing the street because he thought the grass was greener on the other side. Although he was close to meeting his Creator, because I almost ran him over with my car!

What should we call him (or her)?IMG_2672

Yippee . . . Our First Egg!

Nothing can compare than finding an egg inside the coop. Gabriela’s chicken laid the first egg for our family. The chicken was not even trained to lay the egg on her nest yet, she just laid it on the grass.They were so happy and if I remembered the girls even did the egg dance, or maybe it was me who did the egg dance!

Here Are The Chickens

We went to the chicken farm, Birdsong Community Farm in Cullman, Alabama last Friday to buy the chickens for our backyard chicken coop and the girls got to pick out (and named) their own chickens that they like. We had a good experience buying the chickens from Joshua, he really knows his chickens, thank you Joshua for your help!

IMG_2625 Abigail picked a Cochin and named her Goldie
IMG_2631 Rebecca picked a Wyandotte and named her Zebree (the chicken looks like a zebra)
IMG_2636 Gabriela picked a New Hampshire Red and named her Chickadee

We picked one for Christiana too and it is the Ameraucana and named her Rusty, because it has a rusty looking color.IMG_2617
