Home made Sushi!

The other day when we were at Borders Bookstore(our home away from home), Jocelyn was searching what to buy with her gift card. She received one on her birthday last September, and has been searching for that something special to buy ever since. She came across a Sushi making kit. She was so excited to finally find something.

I was kinda not looking forward to making these things, for fear it wouldn't taste or look like the ones we get at the restaurant. Jocelyn is very sensitive and I was worried that she would be very disappointed. I am so glad she got it. The first ones weren't very pretty, but tasted just like the restaurants:) We made several sushi rolls, using only basic ingredients: cucumbers and carrots. I had planned on putting avocado but it wasn't quite ripe. Rob, the kids, and myself took turns rolling the rice on the little mat. We had a great time doing it and we made pigs of ourselves eating it;) Some rolls turned out worse than others, but they tasted good so we ate them. This picture is some of the better rolled ones.

The Girls sporting their wears

This morning it was 2 degrees. Since the heat lamp isn't working thanks to the goats, this will have to do. Thankfully it is supposed to be back up in the 30's for night time temps tomorrow night so I won't have to wrestle with the goats to get them on.

Update on Prayers Needed

Update from Terri from Our Crazy Farm. Please continue to PRAY for this family.

Prayers are Needed!!!

Please PRAY for my friend Terri and her family as their 12 year old son died in an accident this past Friday. My heart aches for their loss, but I am rejoicing for Trent that he is with his KING.
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Phl 4:4
Terri has a strong faith that I am sure will bring her through this.

THANKFUL!!!

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 106:1


Even though we have the stomach flu running through our house like there is no tomorrow I am Thankful.
I am Thankful that this flu is supposedly a 24 hour flu.
I am Thankful that Jacob is almost done and Jordan has yet to get it so if I do come down with it there is someone to do the animal chores.
I am Thankful for the sunshine we have today.
I am Thankful for Rob being out of town so he might miss this episode of "PUKIES"
I am Thankful for Jordan who walked up the stairs and said "I got up so I could help with all of the chore of the "PUKIES"
I am Thankful Daisy Dog decided last night was the night NOT to wake me up to go out side.
I am Thankful we did an overall cleaning yesterday, so we can rest today.
I am Thankful for enough bathrooms and garbage cans to go around.
I am Thankful, even with my "wanna be like those cool Pioneer ladies", for my washing machine and my dryer.
There is so much to be Thankful for!

Teats of Praise


Victory, my first goat given to me by my friend Dalyn. She has a mass in her udder so I haven't bred her the last few years. Someone had told me to use a mastitis treatment on her. Haven't tried that, any suggestions would be helpful. The vet wasn't helpful at all.

Dot

The girls laying in the sunshine, all except Dot. She wouldn't lay down if we were in the pasture for fear we might come near her. She is a bit wild still. We've been working on her.


Praise resting in the sunshine.

Praise~look at the belly. She is due sometime between mid April and mid May. Mimi is also due at that time(if it took;0). Spaz and Starburst are due mid May to mid June(if it took). Praise is the only one I can "see" so far as being prego.
