Yes... I do believe in aliens and No... I have not ever been abducted by them

I am about to start working some graveyards so last night I decided to stay up late in preparation for them. So I decided to watch a movie, The Fourth Kind. It is the movie that they claim is based on actual events, and scary as hell. Not the best option to watch before you go to bed. I had mess up dreams all night long, and since Ben was a sweetheart and stayed up with me, he had weird dreams as well. 
The movie reminds me of a unexplained sighting I had back in 2002. Me, Ben and the kids were laying on the Trampoline watching the meteor shower when we saw a pure black triangle glide over us. It didn't make a sound, was a perfect triangle shape and was about 10 feet across. It was just above the tree line. It was very strange. So yes, I do believe in aliens, ghosts, and bigfoot. Werewolves and vampires, well I think I would need more proof.

Clear creek

We took the kids to Clear Creek today. For those of you who have no idea where that is, it is a secret location that is totally awesome. Great for fishing, camping, rock hunting and it even has the occasional hiking trail. But I can't tell you where it is at, Ben would be very unhappy with me.

I took loads of pictures, we gathered tons of rocks, and we had a picnic. But I will tell you what, as much as I love my children, they can totally drain the energy out of you.  The little redhead is my niece Aubrey.

On the way home Dani did nothing but whine. Lucky for me, they all decided to nap on the way home.

More art

My latest attempt at art. This was my accidental picture. I loved how it turned out. The focus is completely on the flowers. I am really enjoying this class. Not only am I learning about my camera, but I am also getting the eye for pictures.

Mothers day turned out great except for Brady trying to sick at 4am. but I guess it could be worse. Ben bought me orange muffins ( my most favorite), and then we went to the home depot where he said that he wanted flowers but it was me who insisted on getting them. I found a red lily ( my most favorite flower)!!!

Ben's bundle of Quail

So way back in March, we hatched some chickens. It was a ton of fun and a enjoyable experience. So Ben said to me " let's get some quail eggs. It will be fun." or he said something similar, but in any case, it was not my idea. Let that be known. But who am I to squash a man's dreams. and being the GREAT!!! wife that I am I agreed. So we order the eggs. They were about the size of a nickel. Now Ben decided what eggs we were going to order, as I said, this was his project. Ben decided on button quail because they were going to be so much fun. After we order the eggs, Ben finally decides to do research on the quail. He got the wrong ones. Button quail are for use in outdoor aviaries and can not be let out to be free in the wild. Guess where that leaves me.... Yup, I have a 75 gallon fish tank with a mesh lid full of button quail in my living room. But I have to admit they are awesome.
