Rockwell’s last first day of k-12.
It had to happen sometime. Rockwell is a senior at NAHS. I wish him well. He will do great.

Hannah first day of school Sophomore year!
Morning Carpool. Hannah looks funny because she has a mouthfull of oatmeal.. heheh. (Sorry Hannah!) Here is to a great school year! 
First Day of High School!
My oldest started High school Yesterday! She might look a little like a “punk” in this picture.. But don’t let it fool you. She starts out with Honors English 2, Honors Geometry and Band. At least that is what I know so far.. I have not see her schedule yet (Kath helped her with that.)
I saw her looking at the last pages of a couple library books before we handed them in the other day.. I asked her what she was doing. She said she was counting how many pages she has read this summer, just for the fun of it.
“So, how many?”
“eh. A little more than 25000…”

School starts, Chickens, BMX.
OK, That title is odd.. but those are the subjects here.
The kids started 3rd, 5th and 8th respectively, and, we now have chickens!
Rockwell, practicing BMX.. He’s obsessed.. He will cool of a little I’m sure. Although.. Melinda was impressed with that trophy he brought home, she wants to go the the track and see what she can do now… Hopefully we will have two racers in the family!
A pose with his nameplate with his official number! the bike is a loaner.. its a nice one, but I don’t have 500$ to get one.. he will have to wait on that.
Melinda, posing one of the chicks we got.. These chicks are called “golden nuggets”. (I just “found” this picture on my phone.. Melinda posed it on her own.)
Ok, so I was inspired by Luke an Tammy.. Hmm. Inspired or just jealous. Not sure.
You can see the coop I built in the back of the shed. I either need to let them out in the yard, or build them a run.
Kathi said “the back of the shed? Why cant you make a cute one like Luke did?
My response was: “I did, its hung up in a tree and the kids play in it. When they get older, its coming back down and will have chickens in it.” Until then, it’s the back of the shed for them.
I like the “chickens running around in the yard” idea, but the run might be lazier.. I mean easier.
In my first lesson on what I don’t know.. I HAD to get three different age groups. So, sure enough, the older one (a “Jersey Giant” picks on the middle one, (a “Dominique”.. a lot like a “barred rock”) which picks on the chicks (the “golden nuggets”)
“Hmm, I think I will pick on the chick for sport!”
Rockwell holding his (adolescent) “Jersey Giant”, while some friends holding Hannah’s Dominique. They gave them names.. I’ll have to post them later.
I think Rockwell needs a lesson on holding a chicken. I have to admit.. chickens are friendly! And soft, and they even smell good. They seem to make exceptional pets. Who knew.
First Day of school! We did our usual “first day of school walk” again, this time some neighbors joined us.
How do you like Melinda’s Curly hair…
So Pretty.
