Goats-our newest family members!







Addie and Violet wanted to get goats to show in 4-H and just to have for pets. We have a friend who is a vet surgeon and had some for sale. They are Nigerian Dwarf goats. The mother's name is Blue Bonnet and we call her Mama B (after my friend Jill!) and the baby is named Buttercup and we call her Babybutter! If you were ever pondering owning a goat, I say DO IT! They are fascinating and very cute and fun. They just eat dairy goat feed and hay/alfalfa. They like treats like animal crackers, fresh herbs, corn, oats and molasses.



Trick or treating









Addie, Violet and Nova went tot together. It was kinda cold but we had fun. Me and Aunt April, Kevin and Uncle Dave tagged along. Addie counted her lute, 98 pieces of candy. I admit that I scarfed some chocolate! I tried to make up for it by jogging today on campus. I ended up tripping over a root (was jogging on trails) and skinned up my ankle!
