💛💜💚💚💛💗💜💜❤❤💗💚💚💚💚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.

 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!

Mav and I spent Friday building the tent of all tents.  We were having a great time eating popcorn and watching movies in it when Ginnie called with the great news, goat babies!!!

 We ran over to her house and were able to watch Loxi have one of her babies. 

 Meet little Fresia.  Goat babies are the cutest.

 Friday morning Chris, Mav, and I went down to the RO dealership and checked out drift boats. 

 Mav can't wait to have his own boat to "drive."

 Afterwards they dropped me off at the gun show were I increased my gun show sales by 50 percent.  I sold two.

 Saturday night Chris and the kids went home and I found myself alone in a hotel room.  My initial thought was it was amazing but then I decided it was too quiet and ended up borrowing a dog for the night.  I'm slightly ridiculous.

 The girls and I started off the week with killing some time at the bistro eating brownies and cheese bread.

 Afterwards we went to the beauty salon to get Paisley's haircut. 

 So, so long.  Kallie was really nice and gave Pais her requested three braids.

 Friday I covered the daycare for Rachael.  Mav is not a big fan of sharing his mother.

 I had the genius idea of making breadsticks which entertained the kids forever.  It was awesome.

 Saturday after swim lessons we went to Costco with everyone else in Gallatin county.  It was crazy.

 When we got home we had the fun filled job of making sausage.  Luckily our hired help was extremely helpful.

And I got behind again.  Surprise. Surprise. But I refuse to give up. Even if my pictures uploaded all weird. I can deal.

 Sunday Church was canceled due to sub zero temperatures. 

 Which led to poor Gigi getting a bath. 

 Maze reveled in the one on one attention from the Mav since gigi was a giant wet mess.

 Family Home Evening treats. 

 The view of the frozen tundra.

 Huntley built a tower taller than herself. 

 I told her that was lame and it needed to be taller than Chris.  She was all for that.

 Cuddles with Gigi.

 Mav and I went and did princess puzzles at the library.

 And I was lucky enough to watch the movie of his choice when we got home.

 Saturday we went shopping for new church clothes for chris. Luckily three dimensional mirrors kept the kids entertained.

 And then we really blew their minds when we found the model train display in the middle of the mall.

 Mav is killing it in the bubble blowing section of swimming lessons.

And is pretty good at kicking too.
