Friday Funny!

I don't know if you know this, but before I moved to Missouri we had a small farm in our backyard in Utah. We had turkeys, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. It all started with the chickens though. My brother and his wife raised backyard chickens and I thought it would be a fun thing to try. So my husband and I built a chicken coop, bought four chickens (one for each of our children at the time) and away we went.

For the first six months my kids had a great time caring for the chickens, watching the chickens, chasing the chickens...you get the idea. It was good fun, but then the chickens started laying eggs. This was when the real fun began. For about a month only one of our chickens laid eggs. She would lay one very small egg every few days at first, but laid more regularly a few weeks after that. My kids would rush out and fight over who got to check for egg. Their fights got pretty heated at moments so we were grateful when all the hens started laying. It honestly was one of the highlights of the day to go check for eggs. It never got old for us.

I am sure all of you are wondering why I am going on and on about this. Well, besides the fact that I love being able to reminisce about my beloved backyard farm I wanted to explain to you why this Friday Funny is funny to me. As I watched this video I realized I wasn't the only one out there who was obsessed about my chickens eggs. How big they were or small, any irregularity was fascinating to me. I would take pictures and send them to my sister in law to compare the eggs we got to the one their hens were laying. (Yes, I know I entertain easily.)

This video made me smile because it bought back so many wonderful memories and I needed to smile after what happened yesterday. (I will cover what happened yesterday once the pain and horror isn't so fresh in my mind...all I can say is it changed my life.)  Okay, it didn't change my life, but it ruined my day and it still makes me sad to think about.

Anyway, pay close attention to the little girl's voice in the background she's funny.

Friday Funny...but on Sunday

I'm one of those people that have half of a conversation in my head and then expect you to be able to jump right in when I start talking out loud. I do this with my husband all the time. It use to bug the crap out of him and I think it still does, but he's gotten better at just going with it.

This is what happened on Friday. I found my Friday Funny candidate and I logged into my account, but then I got busy doing something else. I had forgotten to post my Friday Funny, but the funny thing was I truly thought I had until my husband asked what happened and I logged in to find I hadn't. So please forgive me for being forgetful.

This weeks Friday Funny is a little hard to hear because of the wind, but just hand in there. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Friday Funny!

This has been a better week. Our little Mia is doing so much better. We missed our trip to Texas, but we will make it up someday. I have been able to write almost daily which has been fabulous. The only thing missing out of my pre-surgery routine is exercising and I plan to start that tomorrow. Hurray for me!

I had something else in mind for this weeks Friday Funny, but it involved my husband embarrassing himself on video. Believe me when I say it would have been hilarious. I tried to bribe him into doing it, but the man can't be bought. So instead here is someone else's husband being funny.

Friday Funny!

One year ago today we adopted our beautiful daughter Maleia. We feel so blessed to be her family. It is a day to celebrate and the best way to celebrate is spending the night in the hospital, right?

 Wrong! Unfortunately Mia has RSV and has become very dehydrated which means she has to spend her special day and night in the hospital hooked up to an IV.

The good thing is we live in a country with wonderful medical facilities who are taking very good care of our sweet little girl. Seeing as it must be a medical kind of day I decided to leave you with this Friday Funny.

Enjoy and have a safe and wonderful New Year!

Friday Funny!

Christmas is just around the corner people. Literally folks, if you look at a calendar Christmas actually looks like it's around the corner. Anyway, I hope everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit. I am sooo ready for Christmas because that means soon I get to start taking all the decorations down and putting my house back together. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Christmas as much as the next person who doesn't like Christmas all that much, but after a while I feel like the house is trying to smother me Christmas cheer.

 There are two things that I love about Christmas though; the first things is spending all my money on items that my kids are so excited about for about a week and then I find broken on the floor under their bed the day after New Years. The second thing is taking down the Christmas while my family is still opening presents. Those two things just scream Christmas to me. 

I'm just kidding. I am enjoying this Christmas season and I hope you are too. One of my favorite things about this season is the music and family. I am missing so many members of my family this year and so I've tried to make up for it by listening to Christmas music twenty four-seven.

I hope you all have a safe and merry holiday season. Merry Christmas to all!

Friday Funny!

I just want to start by saying my heart and prayers go out to the families of Newtown, Connecticut. I know as a country we are all horrified and heartbroken for them and will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

I don't have much to say this week except remember to tell the ones you love how you feel about them and remember this Christmas season that there are many out there in need of love and support. Give of yourself to those who need it most.

Make sure you smile this weekend.

Friday Funny!

Our visitors are gone and we are missing family already. It's hard to be so far away from family during the holiday season, but we are doing our best to enjoy the season all the same. I'm not one who enjoys all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, but ever since last year it brings on a totally different meaning to me.

Last year at this time we were preparing to adopt our sweet little Mia. She has brought so much joy to our family and I feel so blessed to have her in our lives. I know she will never see this, but I want to thank Mia's birth mom for giving our family the best Christmas present we will ever get.

This weeks Friday Funny is from my mother-in-law. I'm not sure if it's for real or not, but it made me laugh either way. Just so you know I am not encouraging drunk driving, just laughing.
