Poor Hunt started this week off getting a cavity filled.

 Pais felt she was more picked on by having to endure watching a movie in the waiting room.

 I think Hunt won as being the most picked on since I drug her around grocery shopping after her appointment.

 Late night baby goat feedings with Gigi trying to get in on the action.

 Mav really wanted his picture taken of everything he did this day.

 Dot came up for the weekend and we had fun showing her all of our animals.

 We went on an adventure looking for elk but were only successful in finding a leg.

 Mav prefers leaving his feet on the ground instead of climbing rocks.

 Pais living it up in her hood.

 Friday night's pizza making is so much more fun with cousins.

 And when mom makes enough extra dough to have a dessert pizza.

 Saturday's easter egg hunt was freezing.

 I'm not joking.  Every kid in the 0-3 age group stood on the field and cried instead of picking up eggs.

 After getting home I came down with a stomach bug and spent the rest of the day passed out in my room.

 Apparently the kids had lots of fun going for rides with grandpa on the four wheeler.

 Unless you look at Mav's face and I think he pretty much hated the whole experience.

 Thanks to my awesome sibling the Easter bunny found us.

He brought the coolest stuff.

 And I'm seriously so bummed I missed out on the adventure of getting it all.

 I can't believe we fit this many people in our house.  Chris may hate me but I loved every minute of it.  Minus the ones I was stuck in the bathroom.

 All the little egg hunters lined up and ready to find the 200 eggs grandma brought.

 And they're off.

 Dot was pretty proud of her basket of eggs.

 Still looking at the eggs.

 During conference Mav and Pais entertained themselves with red solo cups.  They wanted us to come see their creations but we were too lazy to get off the couch and told them to take pictures and show us.  Don't judge.  I've been sick and had lots of people at my house.

 Mav also took pictures of us being lazy on the couch. 

 Hey at least we're awake. 

 Happy, Happy, Easter!!!

Exciting news around here, we're boat owners again!

 We can't wait to explore all the rivers this summer.

 Huntley always beats Pais getting ready in the morning by a good 20 minutes which lets her get in touch with her inner creativity.

 The past couple weeks have been pretty crazy between sick kids and sick goats.  Here's photo evidence of Pais's trip to the doctor.

 Homework and playdoh go hand in hand.

 The babies out exploring their new surroundings.

 Friday we took them to show'n'tell.

 They pretty much destroyed Paisley's classroom and her teacher thought it was hilarious.

 Mav hates leaving after we help out in her class.  He really wishes he could be in kindergarten.

 Huntley got to go to a spa day birthday party.  She came home looking extra fancy.

 The kids with their best pizza creation to date.

 Saturday was major clean up the house and get ready for company day.

 Proof of our never ending winter.

 We also went over to Ginnie's and learned how to disbud a goat.  And play with all of her babies.

 Kiana and her "surprise" baby.

 And Chestnut out surveying the scenery.

💛💜💚💚💛💗💜💜❤❤💗💚💚💚💚Best, most exhausting, week ever.  Tuesday morning Chris went out to the barn to check on the goats, and surprise, babies! 

 Chrysanthemum had triplet bucklings and they have been so much fun. 

 Since they will be part of Chris's pack goat herd, we are bottle feeding them.  Every 6 hours.  It's like having a real baby.

 Sort of.  Not nearly as exhausting but it made me realize how much I really enjoy sleeping through the night.

 Cutest little things ever.  And yes I have goats in my house.

 Mav surveying his herd.

 Tuesday also happened to be my birthday so Chris met us for lunch at the pharmacy.  Mav really liked his hot chocolate.

 Thursday Ginnie had her second set of babies.  First time mom, Rissa had two!  These little goat mama's have been full of surprises.

 All of my kids.

 The goat kids do a really good job of entertaining the human kids.

 Friday Mav and I went shed hunting for a few hours.  He was really into the first half hour and then he was over it. 

 Luckily for me after I ignored his protests to go home, he fell asleep and I found a solitary horn.

 When we got back to the truck I realized I'd turned the poor kid into a popsicle.  I felt so bad I bought him a corn dog from the grocery store.

 Saturday was a real treat. 

 Clean out the barn day.  It stunk.  Literally.

 It was also exhausting. 

 Today Chris and I celebrated 13 our 13th anniversary.  Lookin fancy for church.

 But this is more like us.  Carharts, muck boots, and a goat too boot.  What a journey it's been and I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else by my side.

And I still can't believe we live here.  Thanks for making my dreams come true chris.

 We also got more chickens. 

 Baby animals all around!
