just another day

Today was just like most Saturdays. Kids always wake up early. But today actually they let me and Trent sleep in a little. Rex is now sleeping through the night and boy is that a game changer. This morning I got up and fed all the animals. We have quite the collection these days. We have 2 horses (Taz and Slim), 4 cows (Peaches, Brisket, Midnight and Hershey), 26 chickens, 12 ducks, 3 cats (Garfield, Cutie and Snowflake), 1 dog (Gracie) and a goldfish. I like to get up and go out and feed them all, unless it is cold outside! We usually do a lot of cleaning up around the house and the yard. The girls call it 'Cleaning up day'. After laying Rex down for his morning nap I was able to escape outside for a little bit with Jaida and it felt good to get out. We went and ran a few errands. We went to the farm store, Home Depot, Wendy's, 2nd hand kids store, Safeway and Walmart. It was a fun time with just Jaida. She is a super sweet girl who likes to be loved.
Trent was working outside with Brock on their tree fort. They have the floor down and it made Brock so happy just to be outside working with Trent. We live on 10 acres and it is a dream world for Brock. He loves being outside.
Trent and I worked so hard to move this little house that we are going to use for our ducks. It was kind of a challenge. It was fun to work together. I would much rather be outside working in the yard or projects than sitting inside doing house work. We were able to hook a chain to the bucket on the red tractor and lift and pull it to another pasture. It feels good to accomplish things like that.
After we finished working out in the yard we got ready and went to our ward Easter dinner. There wasn't a huge turn out but it was a good time. We are really blessed to be in such a good ward. There are a lot of great families that we love spending time with. They had ham for dinner and then people brought salads and desserts. Our kids were super tired so we put them to bed early and Trent and I stayed up and watched a show together.
