Kids, Pets, and Life. My Family in Words. Saturday, October 11, 2014. Split, split, split. That has been what has been going on around here for the most part. That and waiting for the roof to be finished. The roof was finally finished on Thursday morning after a couple of supply snafus. It looks great, and I really can't say enough about how efficient, polite and just an all around good team the installation crew was. Sunday, October 5, 2014. Happens all at once. The worst side of the roof before:.

Patton's With Passion: Homesteading Beginnings....
http://pattonswithpassion.blogspot.com/2010/04/homesteading-beginnings.html
Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Thursday, April 1, 2010. We have been working on being more self sufficient, here in our little house, yard and town. In the past year, we've built a pretty good emergency food supply, natural first aid "medication" (tinctures, salves, herbal concoctions, homeopathic remedies, etc) and other supplies. One of the bigger steps we recently took is starting a small flock of chickens! For now, we only want the hens for pets and for their eggs. For coops or sheds...

Patton's With Passion: November 2008
http://pattonswithpassion.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. The kid's big Christmas gift this year was supposed to be snow boards. Well, Brayden is SO helpful with helping Bryan load things into the trunk of his car that the "discovery" was made. We decided to let them use the snowboards. Brayden did GREAT, Rylan wasn't so sure, so he used the sled. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Our Day in the Spotlight. Today we participated in a commercial shoot! It was for a GREAT local place, Hot Shots.

Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Friday, February 27, 2009. And for the finale of catching up, Rylan scored his first goal! For their last game, Ryan (their hockey idol) and Robbie, along with Grandma and great Grandma came to watch them. Unfortunately, the opposing team never showed up! After all the excitement, the boys rested together on the couch. :). Home school is going very well. Rylan. Is doing great with his kindergarten curriculum, and is already a good reader! We had dinner at N...

http://pattonswithpassion.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Thursday, June 18, 2009. Let's see. (I am editing a draft post from weeks ago so I hope this makes sense). Skills.ha ha. Not many tree branches down, only a few minor ones. My container gardens took a hail of a beating though. I hope everything recovers. Brayden. Found a bird nest in the yard the day after. Baseball is all done, it was a short, rainy season. The kids got trophies, and Rylan. Took FIRST PLACE in his events! Wants to play basketball this wint...

Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Life Lessons and Camping. If you know me, REALLY know me, you will know I LOVE camping, nature, the great outdoors. I think getting out and away, camping- truly strengthens your inner self, and the bonds of the family. It's all about discovery (photos from our May camping trip to Keystone) :. Great things can be created with teamwork, and a helping hand. Take pride in your work, no matter the scale of significance. Bask in the sun.

Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Saturday, May 30, 2009. For some reason, Chloe loves to roll in poop. And for some reason, Neena thinks its ok to wrestle with a dog who is covered in stinky poop. Then SHE gets covered. SO gross. This is her "punishment": A *BATH*! Its farmers market season! My helper for washing and storing, Rylan. He helped to wash the lettuce and spinach. And spin the excess water out. Our final product of clean, stored spinach and lettuce! And Brayden the pro. Of cours...

Patton's With Passion: Health Topic: "Sourdough"
http://pattonswithpassion.blogspot.com/2010/03/health-topic-sourdough.html
Random updates and thoughts on our daily lives. Monday, March 1, 2010. Time to move onto 'edible living creature in my kitchen' #2: Sourdough Starter. I am new at this, but have learned a lot through trial and error and taste testing! The first recorded use of sourdough was by the Ancient Egyptians around 1500 BC. Well, it is fermented. We talked about fermentation in my kefir. There have been studies. My starter took about 28 days to make and fully mature. See all the bubbles? It was a MESS! No, I did n...
