Our New Life!

So as we learned in the last post! We love our life! Our new house, our land, town, our ward, and our neighbors! We live in one of the prettiest places on earth! Curtis always tell people when they come to visit welcome to heaven!

So since moving in the first item of business for us was to get animals :) that's right that was the first thing we wanted to do. Like I said we live on 5/8 of an acre, most of which is animal/horse property. Curtis was mowing the yard the first time and he mowed one strip of the entire length of the property he came inside and said we need goats or sheep or something to eat down the animal property so he could just mow the part with would be considered the "yard". So that night we started looking on KSL for some goats, we found cute little goats in a town about 10 minutes away but the lady never got back to us on them. So we found others in another town about 20 minutes away and went and picked them up! Two little doelings, Jolly and Josephine.

Josephine is in the back with the darker markings and Jolly is up front with the mostly white legs

So Jolly got her name from the Hunchback of Norte Dame because that is Esmeralda's goat. Josephine got her name from her Uncle Michael(first name Joseph) he makes a goat face that looks like a goat our Uncle and Aunt have so to pay him homage we named one of our goat girls after Michael. I wanted to name both of them after him (Josephine and Michaelina) but Curt said no... :(

So these are our sweetie goats we love them and they have done a fabulous job keeping the weeds down. They brought much enjoyment the first few weeks we had them. Curt told me that they had taken over our lives because they were all I could think about when we weren't home and then when we were I wanted to be down with them. They have the funniest personalities and I was never aware how much attitude and personality a goat can have!
