About Us.

Hi, we're the Eastmonds. Rob, Amy, James, Elli, Emma, and Jake. We love to work together, play together, and just be family together. We are beginning a new adventure. We are moving from the city life to the country life, and are anxious to share our experiences along the way. We will be learning how to be more self sufficient through gardening efforts, raising animals, and trying new energy sources while becoming more green. We love our world, and want to be able to use it better and safer as it has been given to us from our Heavenly Father. We are very blessed because of our beliefs in our savior Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy our blog, and hope to hear from you again!

Frederik is Here!

Hey Everyone! Frederik is here. He's a German Foreign exchange student from Bielefeld, Germany. He speaks English well, and he is way cool. He's very smart, (he is taking A.P. core classes cause he already learned it, and it's the most advanced classes in are school!). He's very nice, and he's also funny. He cooks well, and he knows soccer tricks that I'd never be able to learn. It's been really fun so far, and we know that we will have more fun with him throughout the rest of the school year.

Guess Who's Birthday it is?....





MINE!!!
------------------
Summer always brings Emma's Birthday! This year was a special one. She turned 8. In our church, kids get baptized at this age. It is very exciting for everyone, because they become members of our church! And boy did we celebrate!! We started off with cousin makeovers, updo's, and manicures. OOO La La!








Then we decided to let them all get their ears pierced. They were all a little nervous at first, but all loved it afterwards!



Later, we had dinner with the whole family at the Spaghetti Factory.


Then it was the big day! All dressed in White!



What a fun filled weekend we had. We are so grateful for all those who came and supported Emma! We love you all!



Eastmond Family Vacation!

Hey everyone! Got another slideshow for ya! This slideshow is about our recent trip to Nauvoo. You'll have to turn down or turn off the blog music to hear it. My mom and I put this together, and I also edited some of the photos in the slideshow. Hope you enjoy!

Guess What? The chicks grew up and went to Coopege! (college for chickens)






Here are the chicks as babies





















Grandpa Jerry and Uncle Matt are helping Rob to tear apart and rebuild the shed into a partial shed and coop. So glad
they could come and help!

















Rebuilding the roof!























































Setting up the chicken run
























Chickens are enjoying their new home!







Ta Da, finished product (well mostly)











Inside the coop is the
roost, which they love!















The ramp to go up to the roost and future lay boxes!








We got five more chicks, and it's always fun to watch them.
Isn't it amazing how much they've grown in a matter of weeks?

Oh, and also, we are pretty sure the greyish chick is a rooster.

No more sleeping in!

Jakey's Birthday

We know when Spring is here, because Jake's Birthday always begins our Springs! He invited a few friends over, played games and ate cupcakes! It was nice to have a littler simpler party this time. They had just as much fun!


SURPRISE!



We always wake our kids up on the morning of their Bdays singing to them. A tradition we had in my family! It made for a great day!







Eating cupcakes!



What a Kid!

Jake's party with his cousins, aunts, and uncle!



Jake blowing out the candles!

This is a big year for Jake. He is 5! He will start Kindergarten this year! Happy Birthday Jake! We love you!
