of flowering trees and adorable squirrels

Hi there!!

So, I am still anxiously waiting for warm weather to show up. Everyone else is basking in the sun, and wearing short –sleeved shirts and flip-flops. So am I, for that matter, but I am not very warm while doing so. (But don’t tell my mom. She already thinks I’m crazy for wearing summer clothing all year round!! J)

Anyways, last weekend I went down to visit a friend, along with my sister, mom, and three friends from here in town.  Julie was turning 18, and her sister was throwing a surprise party. Boy, did we surprise her!!! Her first words were, “What are you doing here?!?” Honestly, what a welcome!! Jk.  We had tons of fun, ate way too much sugar, and stayed up to late, but hey, what fun is a girl’s weekend without those?

We went to a park, where they have tons of flowering trees, a beautiful gazebo, pond, (complete with ducks and geese!!) and more beautiful flowering trees. (I seriously think we should have a “Plant a flowering tree” day, or something to get these people in my town to plant flowering trees.) For the record, the squirrels were way too cute!! I’m a farm girl, and cheer my brothers on when they are after squirrels, but these ones were adorable! 

And those pictures up there. ^, We went to a really awesome candy store, and then a a.m.a.z.i.n.i.n.g. frozen yogurt shop. Actually, I think every frozen yogurt shop is amazing, they’re just so much fun!

Random Question:

If you could meet a fictional character from a book you’re read, who would it be?

 I would want to meet Sherlock Holmes, Rebecca (Ivanhoe), or Robin Hood of Locksley. (also known as, Diccon. J Gotta read Ivanhoe!! J)

my brother's the cutest!! Really!!!

It was a beautiful day, getting up to about 85 degrees! I got out to take some photos, and get a little sun. I’ve got just a little tan going! J

I had baby goats born Saturday and yesterday, and both were successful births!! (That was really exciting!) so now I have five healthy little kids!! J (I think next time someone asks me how many kids I have, I’ll tell them “five!” lol) Seeing these first time mama’s is SOO cute!! They are very worried about every little peep those babies make!

 

I almost caught the smile!! J He’s starting to smile, if you work really hard, and totally act like a dork.  Seriously, people act like insane people just to get the babies to smile!!

I read this awesome quote on someone’s blog today!!!!

           "Old people at weddings always poke me and say, "You're next." So, I started doing the same thing to them at funerals!!!" :)

How was your day, and what’s your weather like?

--Dear Spring--

For the record, his hair is totally awesome! :) ^

Went to the park yesterday with some friends and their cousins. Fun stuff! J We even played tag with the younger kids on the play equipment.

I got to wear my flip flops for the first time in public this spring!!!! That makes me so happy, 'cause their so easy to slip off, and the you can go barefoot... I love going barefoot!!

Dear Spring,

I'm so glad you're here I won't even tell you how late I think you are!!!! Thanks for the flowers, I love them!

xo,

Becca

P.S. Please pray for South Korea and the U.S. Military right now!!!

Hello awesome people.

     You really are awesome, ‘cause you put up with my frequent blogging boredom's!! J It feels like my life is just the same all the time, with nothing new to post about.

     But, today I do have a bunch of photos. It was so lovely out, warm with blue sky, I decided to go for a walk and take some photos of the little wildflowers all over our property.

My little bottle-fed goats are doing amazing. All the kids have been feeding them this whole time, and it is really nice not to have to do it!

Every year a city near us puts on a Passion play, of the Passover, Crucifixion, burial, and rising again of Christ. We didn’t make it to the Passover part, but went to the Crucifixion and burial last night. It is always so real to watch it. This year, two friends from church were the two thieves on the cross. (It was just a little funny to see them up there. My little siblings have been laughing today about seeing the guys in their ‘underwear’ (more like shorts!! J) We are going to the Resurrection on Sunday.

I had another goat kidd last night, but both the babies didn’t make it. One was born dead, and the other died shortly after it was born. It is really frustrating to loose babies and mamas, and not know what went wrong. The mama, my favorite goat Aleen, isn’t doing very well, and we’re gonna take her into the Vet Clinic in a little bit. (As soon as the vet gets there. It’s a Saturday afternoon, the worst time to have a problem, ‘cause the vets off, and they have to come in special just for us!! Which also means it will probably cost more…)

     I am really hoping that the last two mamas to kidd will have no problem, and that their babies are all fine. We’ll have to see though, with my luck the way it’s been. J

On a happier note, I think spring might be here to stay!!!!! The last few days have been amazingly beautiful; I even bought myself a new pair of sunglasses!!!! It’s always exciting to buy new sunglasses.

      And, my big brother, Thomas, is off at a huge amusement park in Korea right now!! Seriously, aren’t you supposed to invite your sister along on trips like that?!? (Not really, roller coasters and rides like that freak me out completely!!J Plus, I don’t think I could afford the plane ticket…)

     You should look up Korean food sometime. He says it’s really good, but personally, squid legs and oysters just don’t sound too great. I love my steak and chicken, thanks! Seafood tastes way to much like fish… go figure! :P (I’m not a seafood gal!)

Ok, I’m done rambling!
