Valentines and Kids!

                                                                                                 
 Look at these little guys!  That's Brave, Zion, and Bright enjoying a milkshake.  On the day before Valentine's Day, Jerry and I created a video for them, wearing red heart-shaped napkin rings under our glasses.  I giggled my way through Jerry's rehearsed opening remarks because I couldn't help but notice how serious he was about it while wearing those silly glasses.  So, after starting over several times we finally nailed it and added the pictures we had taken earlier that day of Bright and Zion's favorite Critter Barn friends to the tune of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."  It arrived on their breakfast table, in the knick of time, via computer and they loved it!  On her Facebook page Kayla put pictures of each of their little faces smiling through giant cut out paper hearts they had made, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.  Love was in the air!

Sharlet helped me make some Valentine cookies...

...she still sucks her thumb, hence the flour on her nose, so cute!   Jack came home from school wearing a crown of hearts he had made and he loved our cookies!


And speaking of the Critter Barn, Kody called this week to tell us about the birth of a new baby pigmy goat, so we bundled up, grabbed the camera and got some very cute pictures of him.  Thanks, Uncle Kody! 

I love the way the mother goat is watching over her baby in this one.  I know how you feel mama goat, "kids" are just so loveable!
