New Favorite Song - Forgiven by Sanctus Real

Well the past is playing with my head, And failure knocks me down again, I'm reminded of the wrong that I have said and done. And that devil just won't let me forget

In this life I know what I've been, But here in your arms I know what I am, I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven. And I don't have to carry

The weight of who I've been, Cause I'm forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind And I'll relive my days, in the middle of the night. When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride. Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

In this life I know what I've been, But here in your arms I know what I am, I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven. And I don't have to carry

The weight of who I've been, Cause I'm forgiven

When I don't fit in and I don't feel like I belong anywhere. When I don't measure up to much in this life, Oh, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause

In this life I know what I've been, But here in your arms I know what I am, I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven. And I don't have to carry

The weight of who I've been, Cause I'm forgiven

Last doe to kid

Here is Mocha -- this was I believe a week ago.  She isnt to thrilled with being pregnant.

Only 60 days or less to go :)  then kidding season is over and I can just enjoy everything 

growing up

Some pictures of the kiddos growing up.

Another set of triplets

Pictures coming

Sweet pea did as I expected and gave me 2 boys and 1 girl :D

they are all so different too.  Unfortunately the girl looks just like mom so I wont be keeping her.  I already have a Sweet Pea clone I dont need 2.

A8 - boy

A9 - boy

A10 girl 

Disbudding time :(

One of the worst times of year.  The time when I have to inflict pain on my babies for their own well being.

The process is painful yes but they do bounce back fairly quickly.  I give them a pain med too.

Here they are after disbudding :( poor sorry things.

The triplets will be disbudded sometime next week.  

Life is going

So things are just going going here at home.  Have a little situation where the runt of the triplets doesn't suck fast enough and she doesn't get her fill so I have to pin mom up against something so she will stand still. It takes a lot of effort and time but so far little Atlantis - or Tissy as I call her - is doing pretty good despite her mom's behavior.

I will get updated pictures of the kids playing today -- the older 4 are such characters I love watching them. The triplets want out of the pen with mom to play with them so I plan on making a play date today :D  I am sure they will love the new freedom.

Well the little boys and girl are growing up.  Here are a few cute pictures from today.

The only little girl so far - I am not sure what her name will be just yet.  Throwing around some ideas.

I have been so blessed this year.  All my kids are sale pending so far and I still have people on my waiting list.  God is good :)

Closer

Well the girls are closer now -- Jitterbug is on day 145 but ligaments still intact and her udder is still growing but not full or tight.  Angie is on 144 lower ligs then Jitterbug but udder is still tiny.  She has a lot of filling to do.

I am guessing kids by Sunday and possibly even by Saturday night for Angie :D


I have one stall all ready to go -- the second stall is mostly clean and I will finish that tonight after work.

Pictures and update when they kid :D
