Baby Goat's!

*ahh...don't faint* I know, I know, you can't believe I'm actually posting! It has been awhile, hasn't it?
Let me explain...I had decided to take a week off from blogging. But time is so fleeting [and before I knew it] 5 weeks had already come and gone... Now there is so much to catch you up on!  Of course I'm going to start off with telling you all about our new kids [they are the cutest things ever]!

Two weeks ago, and within a day of one another, Marshmallow and Cocoa kidded.

Marshmallow had her twins first. We arrived home on Friday late at night, and Mom thought she heard little "voices" coming from our barn. Sure enough, when we got up there and shined the flashlight around, two wet and wobbly, little kids were huddled up next to Marshmallow [You can imagine our excitement!]

Pictures:
Marshmallow is Lincoln's goat, so when she has kids that means he gets to choose their names. But, he could also be overridden by Mom, if she decides that she likes a different name better! Now, I went through all of that, to tell you Lincoln named his buckling Charger [Dodge Charger] and Mom named the doeling Toffee : )

On the next day [Saturday] Cocoa kidded triplets! I was able to be there for the entire birthing process, and assisted her out. [Thankfully it was a relatively easy delivery] She had 2 buckling's and 1 doeling. The little girl is all mine! [I'm very thrilled about that]       Pictures:

That's just some of what has happened around here since I posted last!
