Look who’s into campfires now! Rocky Balboa starting hanging around the campfire for the first time a few weeks ago and has spent more time at each subsequent one. We have to watch him because he tends to be a fire walker when he’s not too busy inhaling the smoke. Ah… good ol’ Rocky Mountain … Continue reading Rambo and Rocky’s Mountain High →

We had some more snow the other day and boy did it get cold this time! The babies love the snow and don’t seem to be bothered by the temperature drop. “Chase Uncle Finn down the hill–Wheee!!!” Rambo looks like he belongs on a Christmas card! Little Coral was sure feisty yesterday! She tried to pick fights … Continue reading Winter fun →

…And dropped off two adorable bundles at around 10:00 p.m. Baby #1 is the smaller of the two but was stuck fast in the birth canal because her much larger sister was trying to cut in line. I pushed Baby #2 back an inch and this one came rushing out with no problem. Petunia was rolling … Continue reading The stork visited last night… →

Anyone remember these tiny, adorable little cuties? Yeah, me neither. Last week, as though someone flipped a switch, they went from slightly musky and still pet-able to burn-your-nose hairs stinky and I-don’t-want-you-within-ten-yards-of-me. With rippling swaths of muscle, they no longer bear much resemblance to the snuggling, huggable creatures we brought home last year in April. They’re still very friendly and they … Continue reading And so the rut begins… →

We’re back from the Weld County Goat Extravaganza, and as usual it was a blast! We brought Finn and Sputnik for the harness class of course, but we also brought Rambo and Rocky to enter in the dairy buck show. Finn and Sputnik were conked out the first morning. Finn was asleep with his head in the … Continue reading LEOs, tigers, and bucks… Oh my! →

Our babies are growing like crazy and fast turning into big goats. Rambo is looking particularly regal these days. And true to his name, he’s one giant ball of muscle. I had to restrain him for a minute this morning and I couldn’t believe how strong he was. He almost pulled me over and didn’t … Continue reading How fast the kids grow up… →

I really need to post the rest of those photos I took on me and Phil’s anniversary before they get too moldy and outdated! Rocky and Rambo are almost too big to pick up now! Rocky has this adorable but hilarious bunch of flappy loose skin under his chin so I often tease him that he … Continue reading Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings →

We had a good two feet of heavy, wet snow over the weekend, so the Nubian boys, having only recently come from the much warmer climate in Pueblo West, needed a little extra protection. I found some fleece fabric, doubled it over, and with a few safety pins I managed to make them some little … Continue reading Goats in Jammies! →

We’ve had so much fun with all these babies! We spent the afternoon yesterday with all five snuggled up on the basement couch with us while we watched a silly movie. We’ve named them and the girl is Oakley, the white boy with spots is Crockett, and the big oreo boy is Boone. Today was the … Continue reading Pile o’ Goats →
