Chickens!

A few months ago we randomly decided we wanted to invest in some chickens for the backyard. We did some [very brief] research and off we went to Oregon City to pick three chickens out! An older guy living on a large piece of land had about 100 chickens and needed to get rid of a few, he let us walk around and pick out the ones we wanted. We picked out 3 and promptly named them: Gloria, JWow, and Ruby!

Here they are:

Working Outside

A weekend or two ago Jeremy had the weekend off (and I headed up to Bellevue for my bridal shower) so he set out to the backyard to cut down some trees. Ok, a LOT of trees! He even got a few from the front yard as well.  It does look really good though, I will admit :)  Here are a few iphone pics of our little family out in the backyard this 4th of July weekend.

Dinner on the porch using our new table and chairs and outdoor dining stuff I got at the Bridal Shower! Thanks Mom :)
