We got a goat, we're Pregnant, and Tag's Pre-School Graduation


 When we moved to this house, Josh really wanted to get a goat! We had more land and lots of weeds, so I thought that it was a good idea! I had heard goats loved to eat weeds and anything else! Our friend got 2 goats, but only wanted 1, so we bought the other one from her! Jr. was such a cute little goat and the kids just loved him! He was very skiddish when we first got him, but he loved Tenley and would let her get close to him! As times went by, he grew to be very friendly to all of us and would even jump up on me when I was outside with him! However, he DID NOT eat the weeds!! Very disappointing and he LOVED to poop on my porch! Then he got big enough to jump the fence and I was having to chase him to get him back in the yard! Can you say FRUSTRATING!!!! My father-in-law wanted to get a goat for his property, so we ended up giving him Jr. for Father's Day! The kids weren't too sad about it because they were tired of sweeping up the poop, so I didn't feel bad for giving him to their grandpa! It was fun while it lasted!
 Tenley and Tag love to dance together and I just happen to love watching them! I hope they will always have a close and loving relationship!

 We are PREGNANT with baby #4! I knew there was one more child that needed to come to our home, but it took me a long time to talk myself into it! Our house was already too small for all of us, Tenley was potty trained, I was enjoying my sleep, I loved having my body the way I wanted, and I already felt like 3 was a lot! Josh was done, so it wasn't like I had him helping with the situation! I had trips planned and didn't want to have a new born baby to take! Pretty much I was being selfish! Well, the feeling kept getting stronger and stronger! Now we had a house that was big enough and I am not getting any younger! I never wanted a huge gap between my kids and that was going to happen if we didn't get a move on it! I decided I could be pregnant on my trip to Europe and I could have the baby before my annual girls trip! I stopped taking birth control and the next month we were pregnant! I really didn't expect it to happen so fast, but that's why you don't try and plan things out! I was happy when I found out, but it is just different this time! Maybe because it is my 4th or because it took me so long to be ready for this! I will say, it has been the worst pregnancy thus far! The morning sickness was AWFUL this time! Oh how I feel for those that experience this with every pregnancy! That is reason enough to never get pregnant again! I also find that I am so tired this time around! I am sure it has to do with having 3 children to take care of, working part-time, and being older! I have had all these weird things happen to my body! My lips are allergic to everything, except vasoline! I woke up one morning and looked like Angalena Jolie! My lips were so swollen with little blisters all over them! Josh just laughed! It took me a lot of different chapsticks before I realized that vasoline was all I could use! I am getting zits on the back of my neck!! What is that all about?? I have little spider veins all over my legs...so not attractive!! Just recently, my face has been burning when I put my Mary Kay moisturizer (that I have been using for years) on my face! I guess since this will be my last, maybe the good Lord thought he would throw everything at me! I just pray that I have a good baby!!! At this rate, I am a little nervous! Oh, I also thought I was having twins because I got big really fast! Needless to say, we are NOT having twins and I am relieved!!  I am due January 9th and will find out in a couple of weeks the sex of the baby! I am really hoping for a little girl so Tenley can have a sister! I think of not having my sisters and that just makes me sad!




 




Tag was so excited for his Pre-school graduation! He wanted to wear all his cowboy get-up and I thought it was the cutest thing! Plus, I think he makes a handsome little cowboy! He loved his pre-school class and had such a great teacher! He loved all the kids in his class and was always so excited to go to school! I must say we are not fans of all the graduations they have now days, but it was sure cute to watch them sing all the songs they had learned throughout the year! Tag loves to sing, so he was especially cute! We love you Tag!!
