Too long...

Wow has it really been that long since I have posted anything here?   I wonder if anyone has noticed?

It has been so long that it might take me awhile to figure this out again.  Of course I don't think it is all just my memory because I do think Blogger has a very different look.

I don't even know where to begin.  Kassi healed up really well after her surgery last winter.  She did have a bought with night tremors though.  I felt so bad, there was nothing I could do.  She has recovered from this though and is now sleeping well again. 

We have been so busy I don't even know where the last few months have gone. 

I guess I will go in order and touch on a few things and then maybe expand more in later posts.

We decided to let Kassi raise a couple of chicks this spring.  She really had fun with them and they were definitely her pets.  Unfortunately one of our neighbors decided to call the police and complain that they were too noisy...note their dogs bark all the time, but that doesn't seem to matter.  The rooster did make a little noise when I first let him out of the coop in the mornings, but it was not near as loud as the dogs barking or the party's that go on, during weeknights, sometimes almost all night long.  Anyway we decided to be good and a friend has agreed to foster Kassi's enormous chickens.  It may be a good thing that they are there for now as I don't think they would fit inside their coop anymore.

Kassi decided she wanted to be in a pageant so we agreed as long as it was an all natural one.  She won the local pageant which meant we were headed to state.  She did really well and got first runner up and State Tot Beauty.  Of course as her mom I think she is the greatest.  It was really fun to see just how outgoing she was compared to some of the girls.  While I wasn't sure what to expect I will admit that we made some good friends that I will look forward to seeing at the different pageants.

We had told Kassi that we would also let her get a rabbit when she had her chickens.  It just never seemed to work out, when the people we were going to get one from would have a litter ready we would be out of town or have something going on that kept us from getting one.  So when we went to fair and there were some for sale I let Kassi pick one and we brought it home with us.  Bunbun as I call her "Daisy" as Kassi calls her is now occupying the chicken coop.

Probably the biggest thing that is going on right now is that we have decided we have outgrown our house in town and are finally at a point where we are ready to move.  We are finally looking to move out of town and build a house.  I am so excited and nervous at the same time.  We have had the house listed by owner for awhile and have had a few bites, but honestly I have gotten tired of all those who want to know if we will rent to own, lease, or finance because they have bad credit, so I have contacted a realtor which we will meet with this week.  I think I am most nervous that our house just wont sell and then our hopes will be crushed.  Kassi's hopes will be crushed.

What else?  I know there is more...
