There's Moe's nose
And we met this one. This is...Larry!
Now you know Moe and Larry. Can you guess the names of the other two? Here's a picture of one of them:
Good luck!

Welcome Alpacas
Our newest additions. Just a couple pictures for now. I'm way too exhausted to make a long post with photos. So for now, be satisfied you got even this much!
This is Moe. We have four. No prize, but can you guess the other three alpaca's names?
They make a really funny humming sound. This is Moe again. Figured out the others yet?
This is a different one. Unnamed to you. I'll let you know the others tomorrow...or at least this one's name.

Our Garden
Our garden has been producing amazing vegetables this year but I didn't take pictures of the vegetables. (Well one, a monster zucchini but I'm waiting for it to get even bigger before posting that!) I took pictures of the flowers. Enjoy! Oh and there's also some new lamb pictures too!
Our ram Billy: Whatchu lookin' at?
One of our many sunflowers.
I hate bees but I love this picture!
Ditto.
Love the water droplets.
Love the color effect!
Up close and personal.
Can you guess what this is?
Billy's newest offspring, though probably not for long. We have at least one more ready to pop.

Rocky
My Rocky. He's such a good boy. He's now a whole of 8 years old and for those who do not know horses, he's still pretty young. In many ways, he reminds me of a little kid. He's extremely well-behaved for as young as he is and still green in a lot of aspects. He truly wants to please though and that is most important.
Rocky was my Valentine's Day gift this last year. I've only had him for five months but it feels like so much longer. We had heard about him from Uncle G, his neighbor was looking to sell him. He'd never ridden Rocky so he had no idea how well-trained or not trained he was. He was very friendly but I was concerned with him being so young and unused for at least a year that he would be very much like a two-year-old (just learning to be under saddle). We ended up riding him around in a halter and saddle no problem. He wasn't scared of anything and plodded along as slowly as he could. His only flaw? He didn't like water. Not a deal breaker for me though and we tested him out for a month. He was great the whole time and I wanted him.
So while I was gone taking care of my mom's pets while she was away, Matt bought him for me and I came home to my big beautiful boy. At the time though, he was rather skinny.
He went from this:
So skinny and lacking in all muscle tone.
He had the start of a decent butt (something quarter horses are well known for) but it needed a lot of work still!
To this:

Look at the weight he piled on in no time!

Driving Lessons
The things I learned on the road:
1. Student drivers look terrified and hysterical driving on the freeway...and I stay as far away from them as possible.
2. Counting tumbleweed to give yourself something to do is not recommended. Nor is counting cars. Basically, don't count anything.
3. People have serious trouble staying in their own lanes. And these aren't the student drivers I'm talking about.
4. Impatient drivers. That's all I have to say about that.
5. Familiar exits are not familiar just because they have the name of one of your exits from home. You're not home yet.
6. Corn processing plants smell like dog food. There's too much corn in dog food.
7. Uneven roads make any voice sound terrible. I have a really good voice but those roads make it terrible. Really, I do. The only reason I didn't become a singer is I didn't want any of the other singers to feel like they weren't good enough. Then I'd be the only singer and that wouldn't be good.
8. Cops seem to only drive one direction. I saw none while I was heading out, but I saw five on my way back. How do they get home?
9. Just because you know how fast you're going in your car, does not mean you know how fast you're going in any car. I learned that we are capable of knowing the draw that each speed has on our car. It's vastly different on more powerful or less powerful cars. Ponder that one.
Don't ponder too hard. Here's some different cuteness to take your mind off of it.
