Asher's 4th Birthday week-end. We drove to Moore, Id to be with Sharae and Joe's family from B April 19-21st.

Bill and I made plans with Sharae to drive up to Moore, Id and see the new animals they got for their homestead.  Here, Sharae is waiting for me to go out to the trampoline to watch Ian and Asher jump.  Joe and Bill are by the trampoline.  In the distance you can see all there land (2 acres).  Sharae loves living close to the mountains.

Here is Rae, Rae she is 6 months pregnant with her little girl.  We are all so excited-the baby is due August 11 the day after Rae's birthday.

Joe and Sharae love their country living and the boys seem to be happy too.

Me and Bill watching our grand kids jump.  Ian and Asher love their new trampoline.

Me and Sharae and their Nubean goats behind us.

The goats are very friendly there are 2 females and 1 male named Buck.  Rae is hoping they will mate so after the babies are born she can milk them.

This is Buck, he is very curious and came right over to us and wanted to play. I tried to feed Buck some lettuce and he just sniffed it, Sharae said if it falls on the ground they will not eat it.  Joe then gave him some alfalfa and Buck loved it.

Joe went out to play with the goats, they chase him and climb.

Here one of the female goats got up on the wheel to play, Joe put a board for them to walk across.  They are used to climbing steep mountain slopes.


In this picture the 2 female goats are playing a butting heads.  They are fun to watch, they get up on their back legs and butt the other goat on the head.  They did this for quite a while. 


Sharae loves the Chickens.  They have a coupe with 4 hens and 1 rooster.  She got there eggs after the rooster fertilized them and she put the eggs in her house with an incubator, when they hatched and were big enough she divided the coupe and put them outside.  Now she also has 2 polish chicks for Ian to take care of for his 4-H class.  They are cute and they look like they are wearing fluffy hats.

Here we are feeding them some lettuce since the goats would not eat it.  Ian knows how to go and get the eggs and how to care for them with Joe and Sharae.
