Please go see my site, I am so proud of it, mostly because I did by myself, no one helped me figure stuff out. I think the BIGGEST reason why I'm proud of it is because, it is MY SITE!!

I am also working on an etsy shop, but haven't got that up yet, but you may be sure I'll post it here when I do!

OH, and one more thing, I have a cousin that is getting married the tenth, so I'm hoping to help with her pictures too!

I have discovered...

WIX!!

most of y'all wont know what 'wix' is...(Susanna will know what it is though).

Wix is a website hosting place, I have moved to Wix for my photography website,  did have Viviti, but  didn't really like it, it didn't give me enough 'control' over designing my site, so I have moved to wix, and once my site is done, I'll post the link here!

Hey howdy hey!

Well, so much has happened!

Today We where participants in a fall festival that was held in Cottendale, and next Saturday We'll be there again, come join Us! There was Hay rides, Buggy rides (the Buggy will fit 16 people.. ..snugly! ;-) , there was a pond to fish in, and, of course, since We where there, you can fill up on BBQ! (you did know that We cook BBQ...right?).
We got good business for the first day of the festival, but We would have preferred more, Oh well, it was rather fun! (I think....;-)

Little Ann had her puppies, They are SO cute!!
there are 3 females, and 6 males.
the colors rang from tan, B&W, dark dark brown, Whit-ish tan, and gray! I didn't know dogs could be gray...but this one is!

Mama posted some pictures on her blog of some unusual sized eggs that We have gotten from our chickens..Go take a look! (please!?)

Well, it is 10:03 PM, so good night!!


P.S the reason that I didn't post pictures of the pups and the festival s cause I'm tired, and for some reason the pictures are not wantin' to load...so be satisfied with this...OK?

to my readers......

Some neat chickens!

Light Brahma Bantam
Buff Brahma bantam
White silkies (Silkies are good broody hens)
Mottled cochin
Golden laced cochin
Birchin cochin
Black frizzles are neat too! :-)
Partridge wyandotte
Red pyle games are very pretty, I think I would want these someday!
Buff Japanese
Araucana Bantams Lay blue and green eggs!!

I think that is all for nwo, more later....or why not look at Mcmurray hatchery yourself?

one of our chickens is a rare breed!!

She is this hen that looks different then the rest of our hens....most of them are White leg horns (here is what they look like when chicks....even though they aren't chicks, but I just found this picture and thought you'd want to see them!;-) and a few are black Australorps, (I spelled that Right..... right??) but this one hens is different, Mama has done some research, and she found out that she is a American Dominique!!
Dominique's are a rare breed and can be good 'nanny's' which means that they will lay on another hans eggs.....birds like the leg horns have had the 'mama' instinct bread out of them, so they won't sit on eggs, just leave them, even if they are fertilized (is a 'alive' egg, can become a chick). But, sadly, our Dominique doesn't sit on others eggs, so if she doesn't start laying eggs soon, she'll be moved to the soup pot. :-(
In case you wannna see, this is what Dominique's eggs look like.

here is another website that you might enjoy!! McMurray hatchery

this is a cool website!!

I like it.

http://www.jigzone.com/

If you go to 'Animals' then to 'mixed animals' then you can find some neat horse puzzles.
Also, you can add a puzzle to your blog, send an puzzle to a friend by Email, pick a different cut style, and get a puzzle a day sent to your Email (I did that one time...but you do get kinda over run with puzzles, so I don't advise doing that!).

What do our names mean??

Ever wonder what your name meant?
well, at http://www.babynames.com/index.php you can find out!!
I guess I'll post what all of our first names mean....but you'll have to do the same! ;-D

Daddy: God is my Judge, Origin: Hebrew

Mama: Brandy means 'Brandy' and the origin is American.

Me: the meaning of Ashley is 'From the Ash tree' and the origin of my name is English.

Evan: in this 'place' it said his name meant 'God is Good' but We've always known 'Evan' to mean 'young Warrior' they said his name's origin is Welsh.

Zeb: Zebediah is a form of Zebedee, and Zebedee means 'Endowed by God' his name's origin is Hebrew.

Shauna: God Is Gracious and the origin is American.

Kyla: again, this website says her name means 'Narrow' but we've known her name to mean 'Beautiful' her origin is American.

Annaruth: Anna means 'Gracious, Merciful' and 'Ruth' means ' Friendship ' so her name together means 'Gracious and Merciful friendship' Both Anna and Ruth are of Hebrew origins,

Benna: Ruby means 'Red Gemstone' but (AGAIN) We've known it to mean 'precious jewel' the origin is English.

My dog: Sabastian means ' Venerable ' and the origin is Greek.

Evan's dog: Ann is the same as Anna, 'Gracious, Merciful'

Kyla's cat: Katie means ' Pure' the origin is English

Zeb's dog: Russel means 'Red' and its origin is English

Shauna's cat, my cat the fish don't count, 'cause they have 'pet' names...and the other animals have 'people' names.

Neat huh??
