Walk the goats? Goats?? Yes I said goats. At our house we don't take a dog for a walk we take our pets goats for a walk. When Marissa and Erik first got their Nigerian Dwarf goats they wanted to enter Jasper and Snickers in the pet parade at our local county fair. The kids worked with their goats daily and soon the goats seemed to enjoy the walks as much as Marissa and Erik. They all did a great job at the pet parade and my kids were the only ones there with goats!

Loving Baby Ty

Marissa's pet pygmy goat Ty was only with us for a short time because of his bad heart. Ty loved to be with Marissa. They would play together or Ty would lay on Marissa's lap and fall asleep. He is deeply missed.

My Acrylic Album Bunny Album

Isn't this acrylic bunny album from My Acrylic Album so cute? When I got this album in the mail for my design team I knew what I wanted to do with it. For my kids coloring Easter eggs is one of their favorite things to do at Easter time, so I always have a ton of pictures of them. These pictures where taken back in 2007. So glad I got this bunny album so I could get them finally scrapped! Thanks so much for looking!
