Pink and Black Polka Dot "Cow" Outfits!

These are the newest outfits I have made for my daughters to wear for Easter Sunday.  I have had the cow fabric for a couple of years now.  I just got around to using it this passed Saturday.  I made the tops and the pants opposite pink and black the outfits.  The hair bows were custom made to match the outfits.  

Our Newest Additions! Baby Goaties!

Here are some pictures of our newest additions!  Our goats had 5 babies this year!  4 doelings and 1 buckling!  We are going to be keeping the four doelings.  The little buckling has already been sold!

In some games there are only losers!!

 Deer: 0 (Dead kind of makes it an automatic loser!)
Bill's Car:  -10 (Probably totaled!)

Bill was on his way to work this morning and hit a deer on 422W.  So he called me at 5:40AM to come get him.  This first picture is of his car when I got there, it is already hooked up to the tow truck.
 Here is the deer in the back seat!!  He actually hit it so hard that it messed up the front end, deployed the air bags, and then flew up in the air, went through the back window and landed on the back seat!!
 It looks worse in the daylight!!
 There is not even a smudge on the roof from the deer!  She really did fly up and come right down through the window!
 View from the broken back window looking in.
 It even cracked the front windshield...you can kind of see the cracks on the right hand side above the air bag thing.
 Clearly the car and the deer were losers in this cruel game!!
I guess car shopping is on the agenda for this week!  Sigh...........

Another set of TWINS!! Amber's Goatie Babies!

Amber had her babies yesterday evening!  A boy and a girl!  They are doing very good!  They are both nursing and Amber is doing great too!  These are purebred Nubians.  


This is the little buckling!



 Here is the doeling!  She has more white on her face.
 They are both very strong and active!


It is with great sadness that I must say that one of Lily's bucklings passed away earlier this week.  The other bucklings is doing great and Lily is doing much better!

My first Goatie Babies!!!

This morning the kids went out to feed and water and found TWO GOATIE BABIES!!!I  This is Lily's first kidding and she had TWINS! (With proud papa Cloud!)  Lily was not due for another 10 days so they are premature.  We are bottle feeding them now and they are doing really good.  They are still very wobbly though.  We have two little bucklings!  They are so adorable and soft!  Lily seems to be in good spirits but she did not want much to do with them once we found them.  They were clean and dry when we found them this morning so we are assuming she did take care of them and clean them all off.  But now they are in the house and the kids are just loving it!

The pictures with them on the hay are when we first found them and they were still out in the goat house.







The colostrum from Lily was so think that they had a hard time swallowing it.  So once we watered it down some they have been able to eat about 2 oz every two hours.  They are both taking to the bottle very nicely.




Oh!  These long ears are just so stinking cute!!!
