I'm a pretty pathetic blogger

I have to admit...I'm a blogger junkie. I love to read other people's blogs. I got into it when I was a surrogate and a lot of surrogate's blog their journey's. I'd LOVE to be a good blogger, but I'm not. Part of the reason is I guess I feel like I have a boring life. Also, I guess just time. Once I really got into it, I'm sure I could make it a regular thing. So I'm going to give it another try.
A lot has happened since I was last on here...

We bought and moved into our new house, 2 weeks before Christmas. We Love our new house. Its big....5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. It sits on a full acre. An acre of lawn. Its a lot. It gives us lots of room to grow into.

In February we got a house guest. My cousin Kristy moved in with us. She had her super cute baby in March, and we LOVED having him (well both of them) here.

In March we got an 8 week old puppy. Race, a yellow lab/golden retriever. He's a puppy, need I say more.

We decided to grow our family even more in May. We decided to get some chickens. I thought they'd be fun for the kids, teach them responsibility and we'd get some eggs out of them. I only wanted 2, but I ended up ordering 6. The day I went to pick them up, I left there with 11. WHAT??? Needless to say the chickens are settling in nicely.

We have their coop built and they've been outside for a couple weeks now. My kids do love them. We let them out to free range during the day. We haven't named any of them yet, because they looked so similar when they were babies. Now they're getting more distinctive looks, but I'm on the fence about naming them. I don't look at them as pets but more like farm animals, they're there to do their jobs. I guess we'll see what the kids what to do.

Also....
4 days ago, my little man turned 8. I still can't believe I've been a mom for 8 years. Some days it feels like he's been in my life for forever and some days it seems like he was just born.

And today Rylee turned 4. I can't believe she is so grown up. She is so much fun to see grow up. She is so smart, starting preschool in 2 months. She loves to sing, and dance, and act super crazy. She is sassy which is cute but tends to get her in trouble too.

The kids have their party this Saturday. Its a pirate party. I'll update after that.
We have a whole lot more going on in the Moore house, but that's all you get for now.
