Farm Boy

Well we have made it the entire month and went to pick up Mickey and Minnie our new baby goats today!!! We decided since they are tiny to take them home in a dog kennel. Saves a lot of gas from taking the trailer!! Plus it was much easier to drive! Wyatt was so excited and he thought it was hilarious that the goats were in the back of the Tahoe. Everytime they talked he would talk back to them. Pretty cute.

Our initial introduction to Meg didn't go so well. . she kept trying to run them into the fence so we kicked her out of her pen and will let her get to know them from outside the pen for a few days before I add them all together.

Mickey and Minnie are just adorable!! They are super tame and are going to be so much fun!!!

So of course I took a lot of pictures!!!

Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse. (was going to just be Mickey but Wyatt insists his whole name is "Mickey Mouse" and I've learned not to argue with a 2 year old.

Mickey and Minnie's new house
New home. They are so tiny!!

Wyatt loves Minnie
Wyatt loves Minnie. Both the babies are very tame and didn't mind being held. It may look like he is holding on tight to her but he really wasn't!

Farm Boy

Wyatt loves Mickey
Mickey is actually tamer than Minnie but not by much. He will actually come to you where Minnie waits for you to come to her. Wyatt was a good boy helping get them fed!

Really tame baby!

Mickey and Minnie
Siblings!! They are really attached to each other so I'm really glad they get to live out their lives together!! It must be hard to lose your Mommy! But they've got a built in buddy!

What's going on over here?
The peanut gallery. Sterling and Sonora were very interested in the new babies. (you can tell I just yelled at them to quit pushing on the fence because Sterling has backed away from it and Sonora is just pushing right on. Young animals of all species must have a filter in their brain for my voice. . )

Okay that's it from me!! It's becoming a regular old farm out here!! Now I just need Chickens!!
