Miller Family: Prepare: Explosive Picture Blog!!!!!

So, I've realized that I don't have very much "me" free time during the summer ; ) It's ok though. I wouldn't trade having my boys home w/ me for anything! They're the main reason I blog in the first place. Because I haven't blogged in over a month though, I'm going to try and cram as much as I can into one explosive blog. You might want to grab a snack first ; )

We finally brought Johhny & Cash home! They're two months old right now and the boys are loving them! Even Jorge has developed a crush on them. He sleeps w/ them and has even started eating tree leaves w/ them : / That has me a little worried! I don't have much time to upload these so they're going to be mixed in w/ some misc. "out back" photos. I'll try to explain as I go...

This is a before/after of the back side of the house looking at the mud room door and spare bedroom door. Craig just built the deck this summer and I finally finished painting all the trim.

Soccer brake.

Door knob I'm trying to get off the old coop to put on the new one. If anyone knows how to remove these darn things please let me know!!!

This is the new goat house/ chicken coop Craig is building. We took down the original garage in the backyard and have been using some of the scrap materials to finally build this. We've wanted to rebuild the chicken coop since buying the house last summer. It has been built upon layer after layer over the years and is infested w/ mice living in between the spaces in the walls. This new coop has metal mesh lining the floor and will hopefully be mouse resistant. There is a wall dividing the goats from the chickens, the chickens will have a larger run coming off their side, and most importantly, Craig hooked up electrical so I can hang heat lamps w/ out running cords through the yard and each side has a light! I'm SO happy, can you tell?! ; ) I can't wait to finish it and tear down the old coop!
