Fifteen Years In Review

Posted on by Hattush

Well guess what?! I turn 16 today! It is CRAZY how fast the years have gone by! In honor of me *ahem* *insert goofy face* here are pictures of me growing up.

*Proceeds to spend way too long looking through old pictures and wanting to go back and relive those times*

2003

 

Wasn’t I cute?

2004

Just little me, Mama and Daddy. (I’m pretty sure I never guessed that I would end up with so many cute little siblings!)

 

I guess that must have tasted good…..
Haha! Love it!
I. Was. So. CUTE!
Me and Uncle!

Little Baruch was born!! We had another brother! We also bought some little chicks and started raising them in our house! I totally LOVED it! Chickens were my life at the time! Sadly, we had to kill a couple of the roosters…..(I was secretly very devastated)

Yummy!

2012

Time to move again! We left our nice house and moved out to do an internship on a vegetable farm! Little Me was pretty happy about that. 🙂 (I was very happy that I got to take my beloved hens. I would have been miserable without them….) At first we lived in a basement, but after a while, we bought an RV (which I totally loved, BTW) We also raised/killed/sold chickens and turkeys.

2013

Left the farm and bought our own little acreage. Ah. Very nice! I loved the woods and would spend hours playing games there with my siblings.

We bought a lot of animals. I loved the donkeys especially! (And of course all of the chickens we had!) We bought/caponized/raise/killed/sold a LOT of chickens!

          Yeah, I’m kind of not ready for me to be that old yet either! Before we know it, we’ll be meeting for the first time and we’ll be doing those wheelchair races!!!!
