Poor Mr Guy

Last night we had to put a cone on Jericho. He has an ear infection and he wont stop scratching. He's not smart enough to know that when your skin is bleeding you need to stop. And because he has such a fat neck we had to buy the biggest cone which makes him look extra stupid.

The cone doesn't help The Guy's hearing much. When Phil called the dogs to take a picture Jericho turned and looked the opposite direction. Ha ha ha!

Poor Jericho. He looks so stupid.
On the brighter side of things. Lewis cooked breakfast for the 2 of us. He served me delicious fresh eggs while I was working. What a good guy!

Our First Dozen

We were excited after our first full week with chickens to complete our first DOZEN of eggs. Sunday morning Ruby made french toast and today we had BELTs, BLTs w/ Egg.

Phil gets so excited each time he finds an egg... like a kid on Easter morning!

Thanks Pete

Just Another Normal Night At The Kelley/Kiker Farm

Sometimes Thursdays are just as exciting as Fridays, ITS ALMOST THE WEEKEND! After work RuBoo and I dressed up to make a gourmet din!
Tudy was in charge of the AMAZING one day old fresh wild chinook salmon caught by her dad. She smothered the salmon with her dad's secret sauce and bbq'd to PERFECTION. flaky moist and perfect!
Why are we cooking in red satin dresses you ask.... BECAUSE WE CAN!
I was in charge of the veggies. Broccolini smothered with crimini mushrooms in a chardonnay reduction

The boys are always so good at going along with our crazy ideas.
Nice chest Lewis!
I'd pay $25 for our meal in a nice restaurant. All four of us were going crazy! We felt so special to have fresh caught amazing salmon, THANKS STEVE! In the middle of dinner I actually asked everyone to take a moment of silence and give God GLORY because I was so overwhelmed with God's creation. ha!
We had decided we potentially saved $150 on dinner so we deserved to go out for GELATO!
Phil is hilarious, I have such a weird husband. He is wearing a very "nice" outfit.
mmm...so rich and creamy.
Ended the evening with Nachos and NBC's Best Night of Comedy!

Ha ha ha ha!

So I was looking for pictures of 'snuggies' because I REALLY need one. During wokr I usually have a blanket on my lap and a blanket on my shoulders.

During my search I found this and could not stop laughing. ha ha ha!

Happy Veterans Day!

We love you Jake and Jim!

FIRST EGG!

So Ruby made this post: http://lewisandruby.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-addition-to-farm.html

and today we got our FIRST EGG! I'm so proud of the boys. They worked so hard.
See it??!!!!
The lady layers. We got them Sunday night.
Phil was so excited today. The very first thing he did when he woke up was to go to check on his chickens and the very first thing he did when he got home from classes was check on the chickens and he found the FIRST EGG! I love it!
The dogs thought they were getting a special treat.
Then they were bummed when I told them the egg wasn't for them.

So then they just wrestled as always.
From my work window I watched the Bain Girls meet the chickens. Phil gave Bets some chicken feed so she can feed them when she walks by on her daily walks.
