March 17th Sunday - Sunday we woke up and those Leprechauns got into our house again. But this year they didn't make a mess (much to Tregs dismay) because Matia made them a cute little house to play in and asked them not to be messy. They still strung up the strings which led the kids to their little treat of green surprises. Then I made a yummy green breakfast and me and the kids started getting ready for church. This was our first time making it to our new ward and oh my goodness I can't tell you how cool it was. I called Emilee to see if her and the girls wanted to go with us and so they came as well. It was fun to see how different this ward is from our other ward. It was so completely different from what we have been used to. I didn't think I could like a ward better then the one we just came from but this ward seems like the kids really fit in better.
March 18th Monday - Today at school was the 5th grade maturation class. So I went to school and sat with Matia while they described the crazy womans body. Matia was so funny she said "Mom maybe I am going through puberty and that is why I loose control of my emotions lately." I was glad I could be there for her today. I still can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast. Then when Terry got home after work we cleaned out the stall barn really good as a family goat, dog and kids we all worked together. Cocoa was being extra clingy to Terry tonight and we noticed her bag was a little bigger then yesterday so she just might be pregnant. I told Tia to watch her a little closer this next week. How fun is the farm?
March 19th Tuesday - 6:15am Bowdee comes running in the house from his morning feedings yelling at the top of his lungs. All 4 of us were wondering who had died. Then we finally understood him the 3rd time "Cocoa had her baby... Cocoa had her baby". I was running around in circles looking for my clothes. Matia grabbed her robe and ran for the barn. Treg just ran bare foot and boxers. Terry was a little more hurried then usual but calm and collect with a bit of excitement. We all made it to the barn in record time to see the first born miracle on Crazy Creek Ranch. Cocoa was standing next to the most beautiful baby boy kid goat. He was all dried and clean with a soft little precious bah. Cocoa... a first time mom had given birth, cleaned up the mess, and patiently waited for us all to share in her excitement. What a beautiful, wonderful, miraculous day on the farm, Matia named this sweet baby "Cowboy".
We all would have just sat there all day long if we could have. But Treg had a field trip to the Hansen planetarium, I had to teach preschool, Bowdee had a quiz in class, Matia well she was forced to go to school and then a dance rehearsal after school. But after school we had decided since Cowboy was a boy and we couldn't use his milk for her milking business that the boys would buy their own baby girl goats and that is when C.C. and Cupcake came into the picture.
Grandma and Grandpa took them to go look at some Nigerian Dwarf goats in P.G. and they came home with 2 cute babies, goat supplement, bottle nipples and the biggest smiles ever. Cupcake took her bottle just like a pro... However C.C. didn't want anything to do with it. We will try again in the morning and see if she just needs a little hunger to convince her she wants to eat.
March 22nd, Friday - After making a big long list of what animals need what and showing mom and dad what needed to be done, I finished packing and thought how lucky I am to have parents so willing to help manage the ranch so we can skip away to Matia's 1st Dance competition ever in St. George Utah. We drove down to the Days Inn and got there at 9:00 the kids wanted to run down to the pool so Terry and I sat and watched them have a good time. The breeze was a little too chilly for us to be convinced into swimming. It was about 20 degrees cooler then what it usually is this time of year. But there is snow at home so we were happy to get what ever little bit of sun we could.
March 23rd, Saturday - Matia had to be to the High School by 9:00am so I got her up around 8:00 did her hair which is always an adventure for me. We got her there on time but she didn't dance until 11:45 so we went and did some errands around town and came back to watch them dance. She did great! Matia is so fun to watch when she dances and all the other girls on her team did great. In their bracket they took Diamond First Place which means they did a near perfect challenging dance and they were 1st out of the other 3-4 dances in that category. She was so excited and said she loved it and wanted to do it next year. We ate at the Brick Oven and spent the rest of the day swimming and relaxing.
March 24th Sunday - We loved the nice relaxing weekend away but oh we were ready to go home back to our babies. Well at least me and the kids were, I think Terry was having too much fun being away. It feels like forever since we have taken a mini vacation. Which is so not like us. The drive home was nice and uneventful, the kids are getting so much easier to travel with. We made it home and ran out to see the babies and do our chores.
