The DIXIE CHICKS!
Meet the new Smith Chicks! Today we picked out 6 new girls to fill the "Chicken Chappel". Their names are Miss Ula, Ruby Lavendar, Melba Jane, Miss Ishie, Miss Maddie and Dove. They are characters from one of our favorite books, Love Ruby Lavendar. We can't wait for them to get bigger so we can hold and play with them more. They should start laying eggs in about 4 months, which will be green, blue and brown!--COOL HUH! Poor Bret, thats all he needs are 6 more girls pecking and squacking at him!
Luckily we were able to talk Bret into a cute chicken coop, thus the chicken chappel was born. There are so many sweet country churches here, that this is our ode to the south (for the Dixie chicks sake). And its kinda funny to start a chicken ranch in the church!
It was only fair to do our share. So the painting ladies coated the Chicken Chappel. By the end, I'm not sure which had more paint on it--the children or the chappel?! Its taken them all week to wear that primer off--the stuff STICKS!
SNOW ANGEL!
Only 5 days before our 70 degree chicken coop day, schools were closed for snow. This is McKenna and her masterpiece!

This is Jack Jack. The is president of the Smith Girl fan club and vice versa. Jack just became a big brother a few weeks ago and the girls are decoying him so his Mom can get a rest. He has pet names for the girls: MayMay, PayPay, and MaePae. I have to talk to his parents in code, because if he hears any of the girls names he gets SO excited. Last week McKenna was invited to go to a playdate with a friend. She asked, "would it be OK if I went and played with Jack instead?" Luckily Jack has enough energy to keep all three busy and running ALL the time.
WE LOVE YOU JACK!!
