Spring Sevice Project and ranch fun

So the snow finally melted at the end of march and so we decided it was a good time to hit the road running and pick up garbage.  We picked up a miles worth of garbage and 2 big garbage sacks later our road feels cleaner and looks better.  We had a lovely time out walking in the 70 degree weather.  It was BEAUTIFUL!!

 

Break time in the shade

These are pictures from our house site on the ranch and these elk came through while we were out there.  I love being able to see them a lot.

 

Joseph went to a Saturday Auction sale and picked up some more goats.  He got 2 sets of momma and baby's and then a few doelings (young girls)  we are now up to 25 goats on the ranch and we hope to increase that number a lot when we are all up and running...Literally after goats :)

 

This is Brownie and her baby cookie

 

Orrin is already a PRO at goat herding.  That is what I love about the goats.  They respect you, are gentle and love attention.  It is the perfect combination for our kids to be involved with them.  WE are excited to start up a goat ranch :)

 

Bridger's 8th Birthday!!

 The first order of the day was crepes.  Bridger LOVES Crepes!

So we got some yummy breakfast before daddy took off to work.

 

Surprises inside the balloons

 

He loves Spicy stuff! and he doesn't like gum unless it is Red Hot

And me and my man of course!

Trying to pop balloons!

A fun tradition

 

Later that day we went over to a friends house where Joseph is doing some construction work for them and had birthday fruit pizza with them.  My puppy got the one corner of the pizza so I cut off a big piece....Dogs :)  It was a snicker doodle cookie crust and yogurt/whip cream topping and fruit.  Bridger loves fruit.

It was a great birthday and he is excited to get baptized this Saturday.  Thank you to all for the birthday wishes.  We love you!!

When we got to Idaho we had to pick up some loose hay from them bailing the night before...Tradition and we took my grandpas truck out which is now my dads to pick it all up.  This is a favorite past time and now sharing it with my kiddos.  Thanks dad for the ride in the truck!

Later that day we headed up to Donnelly and let our horses out into the pasture.  Our Philly looked like she might have sprained her ankle after running around n the pasture.  We hope she will be alright.
