spencer's b-day

I had a great time planning Spencer's birthday. I made him a homemade German Chocolate cake; and it turned out great. We went golfing for our first time. It was challenging, but a lot of fun. We can't wait to go again! We went out to dinner. The kids, unfortunately, didn't get to be with Dad much on his birthday; they did, however, get to play with grandparents.

Spencer has his business name on the side of his Dodge.

McKay has a white toy truck that looks like Dad's truck.

When I asked McKay if his toy truck was Dad's truck he replied:

"No, this isn't Daddy's truck because it doesn't say 'mutual' on it"

At least McKay knows his Dad spends a lot of time at church with the boys, right?

chickens

On July 4th we received 16 chicks from my uncle. We now have eight hens. We get about six eggs a day. We have managed to eat lots of eggs recently. We especially like egg burritos.

Spencer killed four roosters. They were waking up my children (not to mention the whole neighborhood) at 6 a.m. ....Not OK!!! So they had to go "the way of all the earth". The roosters were pretty tasty on our dinner plate, a little tough. The kids are "in the know" and they actually enjoyed eating them.

This has been an interesting and memorable experience for our family.
