Our newest additions. . .

  So this last week we added two new members to our ever so growing family, Fern and Fiddlesworth (we call him Phil). Two baby goats! Jordan and I thought it would be a good idea to have them eat down our pasture instead of mowing it all spring and summer. This way less mowing and we can watch them grow and enjoy it. They are the cutest goats ever. They were born as triplets and Phil had to be bottle fed. So he's a little bit smaller than his two sisters. We left their sister Fig, because she was going to be a show goat :) and was more expensive. So last week sometime (last week was a blurr for some reason, I can't remember what day) we brought these two kids home. They are 4 1/2 months old and their breed is Boer. I guess the owners daughter named them? But since they new their names so well, we decided to keep them and modify Fiddlesworth to Phil. They are adjusting pretty well. Won't be long until they'll have forgotten their old home all together. I tried to take a picture of Phil but he wouldn't leave me alone long enough to sneak a picture. Anyways he looks just like Fern, but has a little more red on his face.




Here's Koda trying to be cute like the new goats she's jealous of!

Look at me Mommy. I'm cute too!

This is the only picture of Phil I was able to get.

  Since it was Spring Break last week, work was extremely slow. I guess no one want to get surgery over Spring Break. I had the luxury of having a few random days off (not that that's too out of the ordinary for me :) ). So Wednesday I took my Mom and Grandma and our dogs to the coast for a walk on the beach and lunch at Mo's. It was so nice that day. I can't wait for consistant sun and warm weather.

Although it may not look steep. This picture is very deceiving.

It was a beautiful day.

  I guess Jordan has now decided that he wants to find out what we're having after all. So on the 13th of April we will know what we're having. Unless of course we change our minds again! But until then, hope everyone is doing well.
