Pottery Class

I currently attended a pottery class in Bentenport.  I learned how to "wedge clay,throw a pot, trim a pot, and foot a pot."  The class is on Friday night and Saturday morning... uggg!  But it is super fun, and I can't wait to go Friday night.  Betty, our instructor, is amazing.  Enjoy my pictures.

Guess which pots are mine?  Does anyone have an old pottery wheel, some clay, and a kiln laying around?

Sledding

 We spent the weekend sledding... eight kids, four broken sleds, no blood or broken bones, three different hills, many wipe outs, a few cows and their poo... GREAT FUN! 

 BL pulled Canon back up the hill.  He walked down the hill and sled back up.

 Tipsy chased every sled down the hill and only got rolled once.

Goose and Maverick enjoyed some beverages.

Cinnamon and Sugar

Here are the cutest baby goats in Union Township.  They jump on their mamma's back, chase the puppy out of the barn, and pounce around like the are own the ranch.  They are keeper... both females!

Welcome Cinnamon and Sugar!

Insanity

In my biggest loser challenge, I decided to try to boast my weight loss this week by exercising... Great idea, right... Not!  We (BL and I) tried Insanity tonight.  It is INSANE!  The workout last 41 minutes and I only made it though 23 minutes, absolutely INSANE! I challenge any of my faithful followers to check it out on you tube.  Let me know how long you last... Good luck!

I know I am out of shape, but good grief that crazy!

Waiting...

We are patiently waiting for the arrival of more baby goats.  Sugar and Cinnamon were the first cute little babies born 2 weeks ago.  Then we a little bad luck with the next, born on the coldest night of the year, and now we wait for the next ones.

Back on the air

I have been experiencing technical difficulties with my computer, therefore, I haven't blogged for a while.  Sorry to my faithful followers.  But I am back on the air and have much to share.  First of all meet our new puppy, Tipsy.  We have had her for about 2 weeks, that means she is about 11 weeks old.  She is full of energy, loves chewing on EVERYTHING, and might think her name is NO.  Oh how we forget the puppy stage.  With the cold weather, we have let her in the house some... BL shampooed the carpet last week and now she sleeps in the garage.  She is a sweet little thing that is growing in our heart.

Saturday was Halfpint's last basketball game.  She is the blurry one on the right side with the ball.  She had a little trouble with turnovers last weekend, but all in all she has fun and their team has greatly improved.

Ice Fishing

Last weekend we went ice fishing.  Our fearless fisherman, Lincoln, drilled the holes and found the wax worms.  G. Suzy picked up some stellar, short poles.  We sat on the ice for a few hours and only caught a few fish.  The plan was to fry the fish we caught for a little Sunday afternoon fish fry.  Well, thank golly our fearless fisherman and his trusty side kick caught fish the weekend before.  We did enjoy eating their fish and, of course, good old family fun, but ice fisherman we are NOT!
