Kiddie Jungle Gym

The kids have discovered the big tree in the back yard.
Oh boy did they have some fun!

They jumped on top of it.

They ran from one end....

...to the other end.

The leaped from one piece....

...to another piece.

They jumped up!

They jumped down!

They were KIDS!

ps:  I will have a movie of their fun on Thursday!

Silly Sunday - A Goat in a Coat

The mornings have been a bit windy and quite cool so the publicist has decided that little Jim needed to wear a goat coat.
He did not think he needed one - he squealed something fierce when she put it on him.

He does look cute though, doesn't he?

Even if he has learned at a VERY young age to express his opinion.
Very smart kid, that Jim!

He soon adjusted to wearing his stylish little coat and wandered around the pen.
Can you believe how small he looks next to the goat house.
It is hard to believe that kids are so tiny in their first days.

His nanny needs to keep a good eye on him.
At least if he gets lost everyone will know where he lives!
The other goats seem to not recognize him in his coat.

Sarah and AbbyGoat are having quite the goat staredown aren't they?
But Sarah protected her kid. She soon butted them all away and Jim was free to explore and then it happened.


He found his log!
His favorite log!

And on his fourth day of life, SUCCESS!

HE HOPPED ON THE LOG!
He was such a proud little goat he kept running around and around jumping on the log and jumping off.

It's good to be a kid!
Could there be ANYTHING more fun?

Little Jim Comes Down to the Goat Pen

It was a big day on Tuesday of this week.
Little Jim made his first trip to the goat pen.
He only came down for a short visit since he was only two days old.
The publicist didn't want to overwhelm him with our, erm, enthusiasm.


Sarah the goat was very nervous too.
She didn't want to let little Jim out of her sight.
But Jim did not care!

He had a whole new world to explore and explore he would!
He took off to see what he could see.
His nanny was never far behind....

The goat house was his first place of exploration.
Just WHAT was that thing?

As he was going to look inside he got distracted and he never made it in. I am sure he will eventually.

He took a trip AROUND the goat house.
Silly Jim!

Kids just love to see what is what, don't they?

Then he saw the spools.
I am sure he will be hopping on them before too long!
It almost looks like Sarah is trying to pull him back.

Then it was back for some goat yoga.
Can you believe it? Goat yoga already!
He needs some work on his form but that will come.

Hey, that is not nice!
I am only giving my opinion.

Then it was some prancing and posing.
And then he saw it.


The log!
He LOVED the log.
He tried and tried and tried to hop on the log but this is as far as he got.

Silly Jim. You are only two days old!
Give it some time.
Like wait until you are at least four days old or something!

Then like all kids it was time for a nap.
Sleep well, little Jim. Sleep well.
More adventures await!

Timmy Explores the Goat Pen

The rain continued today but it wasn't as bad; more like a light drizzle.
The publicist let us out of our pens in the barn and erm, convinced us it might be a good idea to go down to the outside goat pens.

We took some convincing but we finally went outside.

The publicist felt badly for poor Abby being stuck in the barn with the kids so later in the afternoon when the rain stopped completely for a while (ten minutes to be exact) she brought the twins down to meet the herd.

This did not go well.
There is no photographic evidence as the publicist was too busy trying to keep Matthew and Mallory from killing the twins.
Sarah and Norah just ran away.

Then she put all of us big goats out for a graze while yelling some words I cannot use on a family blog at Matthew and Mallory.

The twins are fine.
In fact little Timmy is quite the intrepid explorer.
And I think he is going to be a hopper like his Uncle Kevin.

Even though he is only 3 days old here just watch his form!

He checks his "hurdle."

He runs 

He hops!

Uh-oh!
SPLAT!

His little goat legs still have some strengthening to do.
Silly Timmy!
But he will learn.

Be sure to enter the giveaway for my rich soap if you haven't already!
