It's a jungle out there.

The goat pen is truly a jungle, but we must start clearing out all the Elderberry. We have been lucky so far that the goats haven't gotten sick...I'm sure they have eaten some here and there. We start deforestation tomorrow. They will lose a lot of shade, but there will still be a lot of salmon berry, and one or two good sized apple trees.

There is a ton of whatever this stuff is too, and of course they are swimming in stinging nettle. I was hoping they would eat it, no such luck. I have recently been told if we machete it down and leave it for 24 hours for the sting to go away, the goats might eat it then. Someone find me my machete!

Heidi and Lulu are growing so well, they are chubby happy 13 week olds now.

And so pretty!

Jason rearranged their bath tub climbing toys, the goats side eyed it like it was going to eat them for about 3 min...then the jumping and acrobatics ensued.

Is it going to get us Mom?

Nah...all clear.

These shenanigans are not just for the babies.

Our small, starter size, garden is under way. We didn't get the big garden area prepped in time to use this year, so this will have to do. It is so cute...and was actually really fun to plant everything.

Please continue to keep my poor plants in your thoughts...they are in the hands of people without green thumbs LOL.

Jericho funny from yesterday... I got out of the shower and found my sweet five-year-old had taken it upon himself to load the dishwasher with a handful of dishes that were in the sink. I didn't have the heart to tell him that all the dishes in there were already clean, and that you can't pile dishes on top of each other if they are to get clean LOL. Thanks for the help Jericho.

A very happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there doing it right. The most important job in the world to the child in your care is how they are parented. You are the make or break in someone's life...do the very best you can.

Mothering boys is not for the faint of heart...or those afraid of gray hair and heart attacks. I love these crazy guys of mine.
Bitty baby Xan.

Jericho...he didn't stay small long.

I am so proud of these two little gentlemen, I am so excited to watch them grow every day.

Motherhood is truly the most amazing journey. I love the person my children have helped me become. My girls and I...we have all grown so much.

These little ladies are beautiful inside and out. They impress me daily with their kind hearts and witty sense of humor. 

Washington child seat law is booster until 8. The triplets will be 8 in 2 months. I weighed them today just to see where they are. Xan is 63 lbs, Hayden is 68 lbs and Lily Bug is 58 lbs. Dang they have come a long way from their 3 1/2 lb start.

The kids made me some special gifts.

My crew...they make my world go round!

My dear friend Dina and her kiddos spent the day on the farm with us. The baby rabbits were a big hit.

Of course the horses were a bigger hit LOL.

I think a nice friendship was started today.

Ended the day with some S'mores...what a perfect day!

Don't try and hump me when I'm busy playing.

Such a great bunch of kids...always the best times when we all get together.

Big hugs goodbye...until next time.
