Hoof Trimming

Yesterday Ben came in from doing chores and said that the goats hooves REALLY needed trimming.  So, we headed out.  Now goats aren't like horses where they just stand still while you lift their foot and trim.  At least ours isn't.  So... being the professionals we are... ;) ... we wrestle her on her side and one person holds her down while the other trims. 

After struggling to get a four legged, stubborn creature on her side.... it isn't too bad of job... well, Ben's part anyway....  ;D

It can even be a good time to catch a cat nap!  Cat included! :)

It's so nice to have harmony between farm animals.

I found this CUTE Valentine's hair do and tried it on Mae this week.  If you'd like to see how to do it I posted how on my hair blog www.simplycurlydos.blogspot.com .

Ya'll have a great weekend!



Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Happy Birthday Ben!

Ben is growing to be such a Godly young man.

He keeps his focus on the Lord trying to please Him in all he does.

He is extremely responsible, obedient, and hard working.

He does a wonderful job of honoring Mom and encouraging others.

He has recently taken over a Nursing Home ministry at our church and is doing a wonderful job with that.

A note of interest is that his Birthday is the same date the Atomic Bomb was dropped!

Though he is very charactered he is still one of the biggest 'character's' in our house.  Always trying to keep us all laughing.

(Though he usually doesn't show this silly side to many others outside the family. ;)

Happy Birthday Ben.  We hope you have a wonderful year!

This & That, A VERY Overdue Post

Hello all! Yes, the Peck's are still alive! Sorry this post is long overdue!

We had a very LARGE amount of snow for us this week! About 12 in. but that is only in places where there is no drifting! We have a drift outside our door that is about 3-4ft! You can imagine us kids are having a blast in all this! And we are supposed to get more on Sun.! :)

Some of us are ready for spring but white is much prettier to look at than brown.

And praise the Lord our Internet was the only thing down for us.

Doesn't this look like fun?!

This is the orphaned kitten I found and raised this summer, Joy.

She enjoys watching from the warmth of the house. :)

And helping James build his legos! (wink, wink)

And Ben just lays around the house all day...

No, just kidding! He s VERY busy right now with school, Bible memory for our youth program, and the up coming Student Convention at our church! He is in a skit that he is writing with some others and more Bible memory and some musical things too I think so he is more than busy!

And James is.... well, James!

We have also started planning for the Corn Maze for the design and entertainment. So if you could keep us in your prayers for wisdom we would appreciate it!

Stay tuned for "Chicken Pox and a Beard Part 2"!

Chicken Pox and a Beard...

Well, Ben over the last week has been suffering from a mild case of the chicken pox!  None of us kids have had them before because we all got the shot when we where younger.  (Mom says she probably wouldn't have done it now, but she did and that's that.)  It was one of those RARE things that he did get it!  So while he was quarantined at home he decided to see how much of a beard he could grow!  Caleb has a nice one going and a friend of Ben's has been wanting to see how much Ben could grow!  So here it is!  He had a youth rally to go to today so he had to shave it off last night (youth group policy). So here you go Josh!  This is one weeks growth...



He enjoyed it. :)

Ben's Scripture Recitation

Ben is participating in our church's Student Convention this year and is doing a great job in all the things he has signed up for. This is a little clip from the scripture recitation he is doing. He has memorized Acts 16:9-40. Today he was trying it out on us a did an excellent job.

Funny Friday!!!

Ben is our "house comedian". He always keeps us laughing with his random humor. Whenever any of us are down he's the one that always tries to make us smile. Hope you enjoy this peek into his randomness! ;)

Beny's Hidden Talent! ;D

Busy Week

Hi! It's Benjamin. I'm filling the blog in for Jordan today. It has been a VERY busy week!!!

Here are some pics of what we have been doing.

We are enjoying a wide variety of sunflowers this year.

Maelee loved riding on the lawn mower.

We have been working very hard on our flower beds now that all the dirt moving is completed.

Below are some pics I took when I helped Jordan at work.

In case you didn't know. She is the "Manager of Packaging and Shipping" for our pastor's world wide media ministry. You can visit his web site at http://www.solvefamilyproblems.com/


I helped her with inventory: restocking shelves, counting DVDs, etc...

There is a ton of them. :}

Please pray for Bible Clubs - LORD willing we will be doing three each day. We are praising the LORD that 7 kids got saved last week, including two Mormon boys.

Have a blessed Sunday!!!

Benjamin's Drama

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had 6 kids trust the Lord as their Savior last week at 5 Day Clubs! Praise to the Lord! This week we are doing it in another small town the opposite direction and the Lord sent 16 children and 3 moms! We were so encouraged. Please keep us in your prayers, none got saved but the Holy Spirit is working.

Here is a typical Benjamin entertainment for you! He is such a nut and ALWAYS keeps us laughing. The Lord has given him a joyful spirit finding the positive in any situation. We tried to put these in slide show form but couldn't figure it out so maybe if you scroll back and forth quickly you can get the full "emotion" of the whole event. (Unfortunately we can't record the sound effects that go with it.) ;D Enjoy!

Poor thing! It took him a week to get over it! :D
