It was the only time they were being somewhat still during the night. LOL

Blues in my hand.....

Blues is learning to trust enough to lay in my hand. He was hatched September 25, so he is still a baby. !Such a sweetheart!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!

Cody's 14th birthday party was celebrated Jan. 3 with a party at a restaurant in Overland Park. The whole family plus were there. We embarassed Cody with a big Happy Birthday song and had a wonderful time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY #1 Grandson!

We love you!

Weigh in day for the Parrots

I always weigh my parrots on January 1...well, my Congo African Grey, Einstien, decided that he didn't want to get on the scales today., even with a little begging from me, and a special treat.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Today is also Chloe's first birthday! She is my minature dachshund.

A great time was had by all Christmas Eve! We celebrated with Prime Rib and all the trimmings, along with some really yummy Brandy Slushes for the adults.

We had the whole family here, Kimberly and Tim with their boys, Cody and Jacob.

Allison& Eric with their children, Henry Dean and Josie.

Crystal & her daughter, Catie.

With the two little boys it is always an interesting time for sure. Pecans were flying and cookies were crumbling! Santa made is annual Christmas Stocking delivery for everyone, but this year Momma/Grandma got one! (usually she is so busy helping Santa they forget about her LOL).

Little Josie slept and nursed through the whole evening..we anticipate that next year she will be just learning to walk and will keep us all on our toes! Cody and Catie, being the teenagers they are stayed under the radar, but I suspect they had a good time too.

We got the call during the evening that we are chick parents again, our friend was incubating some of our chicken eggs and we have new chicks. Christmas Eve chicks!

Dean and I wish everyone a Blessed Christmas!

Our new flock member has decided that the top of my head is the most comfortable ever. He is a baby and needs lots of cuddles often. Welcome to the flock, Blues!

Josie came home to Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong's for the first time today. She was so impressed with the Armstrong flock, she slept through most of the evening while her big brother, Henry, and cousin, Jacob ran Grandpa ragged running from the Daycare and back and watching everyone's favorite, Wizard of Oz.

Aunt Kimberly brought Mexican and Savannah was here to make the family complete.
