The Alexander Farm

Our new house!

2008-08-20T06:07:00.001-07:00

Well, we're finally getting settled into our new house! We are so excited to be here! We are finally out of a subdivision and actually have land for our farm we've always wanted. We're working on getting it fenced, have about half of it done(not pictured), but it's a work in progress. We already got a couple goats, more bunnies and more chickens. We love it! I only have 3 pictures so far, but have more on the camera. I will work on getting those on here too. It's farther from work, but well worth the drive to be in the country. The boys started a new day care and are loving it(thank you!) and Brandon starts Pre K this Friday. Can't believe my little guy is starting school! Drew got his first haircut this past weekend, again the pictures are still on the camera, but I will get them on here too. Anyway, that's the update!

Brandon's 4 years old!

Well, we had Brandon's 4th birthday party this past weekend on Saturday. We actually did it at Burger King this year. I really didn't want to prep the house for it and then do the clean up afterwards. Lazy, I know. But it turned out pretty nice. The kids had a good time, unfortunately it started to rain so they didn't get much outside time, but they still had fun. There was only 1 squabble over a toy and then my 2 year old nephew had a temper tantrum because he couldn't go outside and he wanted to. But other than that it was a success. Brandon got some of his favs, such as Rescue Heroes, Speed Racer, Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles and more.

I know it's been a while, but it's not like I have a lot of people really checking this. Brandon has been going to tee ball practice for about a month now and finally had his first game Tuesday(22nd) evening. He had the best time and I think he hit the ball better than at practice. This was just about the funniest thing we had watched in long time. They were so little and cute and didn't know what they were doing. Brandon would hit the ball, run to first base, then run to the dugout. There were some kids that must have been so scared having all the people watching, that they wouldn't even hit the ball. Anyway, I'm putting some pics of the game and some other random pictures from the past couple months. Drew, we have found out, has mild asthma unfortunately. So everytime he gets the sniffles he starts wheezing. So we have to pull out the nebulizer. I have a couple pics of that, he looks so pitiful. I'm also putting a couple pictures of some flowers, my purple iris and narcissis and dafodils(sp?). These were flowers that my mom dug up and gave to me to transplant. We planted them in 2005 and they've always come up each season, but this is the first year the iris has had blooms. It's so pretty. Enjoy!

Drew is 1 year old!

It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since I was in the hospital 12 days early preparing for a c section. It seems like just last week.

The aftermath.
Brandon, of course, the center of attention.

This next one is one to save for their girlfriends when they're older! We were halfway done decorating the tree and I got this memorable shot!

Well, I haven't been on here in a while so I figured I would update our totals. We have 4 cats, 3 dogs, 2 chickens, 2 bunnies, 4 turtles, 1 catfish, too many goldfish to count, 2 love birds and 6 hamsters(2 weeks after buying she had 5 babies).

I'm still trying to get used to this blog thing. I am better at updating my Myspace page.

I'm new to this blog thing...

Well, this is my first post so bear with me...
I titled my blog The Alexander Farm because we basically have a farm.
We have 4 cats, 2 turtles, 2 catfish, 2 love birds, 5 dogs(2 beagles, 2 German Shepherd mixes and 1 Min Pin), 2 bunnies and 2 chickens, and of I can't forget our 2 kids. We did have geese and ducks but because of the draught we had to release them because we couldn't keep the water level up in the back for them.
I don't know how well I'll do at keeping this thing updated, but I'll try.
