Carter's 9.5 Months old!...and pigs, of course:

Carter's CeCe feeding him a gingerbread cookie his Great Granny Boggs made.
.....Grannies and sweets!

Yay!!  Pigs on pasture!!
We put up electric fencing in our pastures so we can rotate the pigs
through them.  It is SO SO fun to look out and see pigs grazing...
and rooting...in the fields.  They are loving their new area!

Carter checking out his piggies from the window!

Carter sleeping on the way home from Farmville
where we got some rugs and a light.  The photo
is cute, but you should have seen him in real life
...even cuter!  :)


Carter and his cousin Ayda playing in the yard!  ...actually
although Ayda loves Carter she didn't want to get any closer
to him because he "would slobber on her"!




Sharing a stick :)


Callum playing with Ayda.


Tuckered out after all that sunshine and fresh air!



Clean chicken coop...check.

Anyone want to buy eggs?!  I have dozens!!!

I dumped 15+ tractor bucket loads of topsoil
 and then the litter from the chicken house and
some of the compost we've collected to create a
new garden area for corn and soybeans!

4 varieties of tomatoes and 3 varieties of peppers started.  I'll
plant the rest directly in the garden.

This is Pearl the piglet :)  I am keeping her to breed because
she is SO cute...and has all the other important characteristics!

Big pigs checking out the small pigs!

This is Ruby and she is (hopefully) pregnant!!!!  We took her
to her to visit her boyfriend last week :)  June piglets :) :)

Pigs being pigs.  They are so funny.


Carter has just started to pull up on everything! 





What a big boy!

Dear Carter,  You are only 9.5 months old.  Please
feel free to wait to walk for a few more months.
Love- Momma ;)

Around About February:

Carter and his cousin Rick at Granny and Grandpaw's. 


"Wake up and play with me Rick!"

Carter goes to work on his Great Granny Boggs' walker wheel!

Carter playing with Lady and his Uncle Callum on a spring-like February day.

Carter checks out Lady's teeth!  Poor Lady :)

Friends.



Friends....or so I thought...a few days later Daisy
decided to have chicken for an afternoon snack.

Who will get to the toy first?!  This is Fiona...my only chicken
with a name.  She is an Americauna and she lays green eggs.

Carter loves this little toy.  Aaron and I both had one when we
were little...this one is Aaron's, but he lets Carter play
with it when he's at work :)

"Ummm...let me see what this tastes like!"

Carter with his newly cut hair....I "feathered" it a little better after
this photo was taken!
