baby bluebirds

My favorite bird is the bluebirds!!

The last two years we've had the enjoyment of watching them raise a family in Duane's birdhouse. Its such a pretty sight :)

I tried to get a few pictures of the inside of the house...

Inside our bird house.

Two of them hatched last Thursday, and then today when I looked I seen that all five were hatched and hungry!

Slippers

This past week-end was a wonderful time for us :) Dad got to go riding/bear hunting, Joe and Kaylena went 4-wheeling, Karissa, Duane, Luanna JaLynn and I all went hiking while mom and David went to a couple garage sales.

It was such a beautiful day and for JaLynn it was extra special because while mom was at a garage sale she found a special little free 'gift' for JaLynn-which thrilled her!

So meet Slippers!!

You can see why they named her slippers :)

Yes, she does have extra toes *smile*
The little girls have been wanting a kitty for a long time but with our dogs we didn't think that it would be a good idea, but how could you resist those cute little antics?

So now we have an extra little joy for the girls, and so far they are enjoying every minute of it! (And of course, David enjoys her too!)
