Boris and Grandpa

Year 2008 - so far

Well, as you can see, we have not done very good at keeping our Blog up-to-date. It seems to be something that we totally forget until something exciting happens to one of the family blogs (like being able to see little Axel before he got here). This has been quite a year for both of us. With Grandpa having his shoulder replaced and needing another one replaced and then Grandma having major back surgery and still not sure wether another one will be need or not. Guess we just have to keep our prayers up-to-date and have Faith in Heavenly Fathers plan for us. Meanwhile, we are most happy to have our family growing like it is. We now have one more Great-Grand Child than Grand Children. Wow, that make us happy and we are sure there will be more to come. The Lord has held back some of his very best for last. We were able to see Norman, Debbie, Lara, Jacob, and Ella for a little while when we were in Western Idaho for a Goat Production sale Sept. 13th & 14th. It was so good to see them. Little Ella was so loving and she and Jacob really loved seeing Boris (our Miniature Schnauzer), and he loved seeing children.
Meanwhile, back at the Boer Goat Ranch, we are selling a few at a time but still hoping to sell a lot more. We are becoming "slower" in our young age and need some reprieve. (Don't tell Grandpa!)
We love hearing how everyone is doing and were sorry to here that Lyn has been having some problems with her back. She is too young for that and has a busy little family to care for. We are remembering her in our prayers.
Soon, Joshua will be getting off of his Mission and staring a new life. We hope all will be well for him.

Our Trip to Colorado

We recently made a trip to Fort Collins, Co. to a Production Sale for Goats. We took two Does and sold them to a local family. We felt that they went to a good home. We then spent one night at Ansley, Eric, Serena, and Colins home in Denver. Serena, bless her heart, gave up her bed for G.Grandpa and G.Grandma. We then went to church on Sunday at Cameron and Katrinas ward and attended the Sunday School class that Cameron teaches (Gospel Doctrine). Then we traveled to Monte Vista, Co. We spent a few days there and while there we went and saw some of the Amish people taking care of their crops and working in the fields. Since they do not believe in using a steering wheel, they have improvised. It was very interesting to watch them and how hard they work. We also got some pictures of their transportation.
