Kids and, well..kids!
In Texas we purchased our goat milk from a farm. But in Idaho, as in many states, it is illegal. They spray our fruits and veggies with pesticides, pump our meat full of hormones and antibiotics, but tell us we can't buy pure fresh milk. HUH?? Anyway, since we can't buy our milk anymore we bought the whole goat! We decided on mini's so that our milk production is not too big and to keep feed costs down. Our goal is to save money by raising and growing what we can at home. So we have purchased two females and a buck. Thats the little brown and white one. He's so cute! The kids absolutely love him. He follows Jonah around the yard like a puppy. He is still bottle fed and today Johanna fed him all by herself. One thing about goats, they create a lot of laugher and "precious moments."

Update
Just in case you thought we had fallen off the face of the earth, we are still here and safely transplanted in Idaho. We are all doing fine and are just busy unpacking and getting to know our new area. We finally got to start the church that Chuck had found for us when he came up here and we are all enjoying it. It was freezing when we first arrived but the past few days have been warm and beautiful. The kids are absolutely loving being on 5 acres and I can hardly get Jonah inside anymore. We are able to walk to the end of our street and out into the open. It is great exercise for all of us, including the dogs. Hogan gets to run free and is really building up his muscles. He is as happy to have the open space as Jonah is. As much as we miss our lives in Texas, we are really enjoying being free of the humidity and love being outdoors more. Below are pics from our trip to Idaho through Fathers Day.
