Hoof Trimming

Yesterday Ben came in from doing chores and said that the goats hooves REALLY needed trimming.  So, we headed out.  Now goats aren't like horses where they just stand still while you lift their foot and trim.  At least ours isn't.  So... being the professionals we are... ;) ... we wrestle her on her side and one person holds her down while the other trims. 

After struggling to get a four legged, stubborn creature on her side.... it isn't too bad of job... well, Ben's part anyway....  ;D

It can even be a good time to catch a cat nap!  Cat included! :)

It's so nice to have harmony between farm animals.

I found this CUTE Valentine's hair do and tried it on Mae this week.  If you'd like to see how to do it I posted how on my hair blog www.simplycurlydos.blogspot.com .

Ya'll have a great weekend!

Such a sweet baby!

All In A Days Work???

Maelee is back!

Chopping wood to keep the fire burning.

We never thought sweeping could be so fun!
(This is what kids have to do when they don't have free hockey rinks! ;)

Random Pics.

The other night we got to have Maelee and her family over for dinner!  It was sooooooo good getting to see her and her new baby sister Kaylen!

So tiny!

She looks a lot like Maelee did when she was a baby!  We all enjoyed getting to hold her.

And here's a pic. of Adric, our only Day Care kid right now.  He is sooooooo cute and brings us all a lot of joy.



Maelee

Here are some pics. of Maelee that Ben took. She is really growing up! And she is soon to be a big sister! We love taking care of her. Her bright spirit brings joy to our day.

She is such a good helper! She loves to help me with the laundry, especially when we hang it outside, and has even learned to fold the wash clothes!

Ben took some really cute ones of her outside.

"Enough pictures!"

She is soooooo smart! She knows her alphabet, well most of it, can count to 11, and can recognize letters!

Maelee And The Trumpet!

Here's cute Maelee playing the bugle!!!!!!! She keeps us smiling! She is sooooo fun to have around! Hope you all enjoy!

For Caleb: Maelee

Well, Caleb this is for you! Maelee is really missing you! (I'm sure this fills your little heart with joy! ;) She does it a lot cuter when not on camera so this is as good of one as we could get! Hope you enjoy!

For those of you who don't know, Maelee (pronounced "May-Lee"), is our almost 1 1/2 year old that we take care of. We think she's one of the cutest babies ever to walk the face of the earth but we're kind of partial. ;>

Sorry I think I got the videos out of order... One is where she's singing patty-cake and the other is of her missing Caleb. Enjoy!
