Domestic Goddess Extraordinaire

What a busy weekend.  The kiddies and I drove to Idaho Falls this weekend to pick up 120 lbs of chicken.  We arrived Friday night at my sister's house around 8:30 pm, my parents showed up around 9 pm.  My dad was in SO much pain.  They took him to the hospital and found out he has a blood clot in his lung!!  Poor guy.  So now the work of putting culverts in now falls to the capable hands of my brother Scott, my brother - in- law Bryce and me.  I showed up not having a clue what we were going to be doing, but we managed to get all 9 culverts placed before dark!!
My kids had a blast playing at the farm.  They would climb up the haystack and then ride a sled down the side.  I hope they get a lot more opportunities to play at the farm. 
On to the chicken. .. .  I have spent the greater portion of my day making 5 loaves of bread and pressure canning chicken.  Who knew I could be so domestic?  I think I may even scrub a toilet or two.
This is Red and Brown headed back to the farmhouse.  They looked so cute and small.

Just a small portion of what I did today!!
