BTS & other randoms

The top of Timp was breathtaking, literally BREATHTAKING!

My friend Joy, my son Alex w/ Jessica and I all made it!

There were some tricky places along the way
Twenty miles produced very achy feet and sore muscles that lasted days after the hike.
I seriously couldn't walk down the stairs for two days.

it was delicious


Haili is a seventh grader at CVJH this year!
She was super excited to go to school.
Loves all her classes and is especially excited to begin percussion in band.
Thinks it's funny that most of her teachers remember her brothers.
I guess there's not too many Llewelyns running around her school:)


Our baby, Emma is in the 4th grade this year!
Can't believe it, but it's true.
She was thrilled to have our back door neighbor friend in her class.
Emma's teacher is brand new and eager to get in and do a fabulous job.




I have not posted any news about our chickens!
They are just about full grown.
No eggs yet, but we know they are getting close.
We let the chickens run free in our back yard during the day
and they really do keep all the bugs down.
It's always a race for our kids to go out to the coop in the morning to be the first to check for eggs.
I've discovered chickens are not very smart!
I've been trying to train them by spraying them with water (which they hate) every time they come onto the patio. It's been a month and they still haven't learned.
They better start laying soon or they might end up in the crock pot.

These two are so friendly. They follow us all around the yard.
Funny birds
