Feeling like spring!!

2~ 23~12
Who is wanting spring to be here? Well, I am looking forward to spring. I think spring is going to come earlier than usual. What do you think? February is the time when our baby goats are born. So right now we have four girl kids and ten boy kids. So altogether we have 14 baby goats. They are soo cute and playful. I have already chosen my market wether for the fair. I don't have a name for him yet though. The reason I like spring is when all the goat kids come.  I like to watch the baby animals grow and see the trees turn green. But the one thing I don't like is the MUD!! :(. I will try to get some baby goat pictures on soon as possible. Also spring mean more horse riding!!!

Our puppies are getting so big. They are already 8 weeks old. We are probably going to keep them both!! We might name them Harley and Zoe.The yellow will be Zoe and the black one will be Harley.

My sister Abigail's birthday is going to be on the 26th! She is turning 17!! Now when she turns 17 we won't be saying that Abigail and I are the same age. I am OK with that.

It's SO quiet here!

2-1-12
  Hi everybody, how did the first mouth of the new year go for you all. I can't believe that it is already February 1. Last Friday  dad , mom, Rebekah, Elizabeth and my brother Benjamin went down to North Carolina to visit Bethany and Daniel. Abigail and I stayed home to do the chores and to keep our two puppies alive and out of trouble. My family are coming home tonight, they are also going to bring Bethany home!!  I am glade that she is coming home.  This past week was very quiet. I would rather have my family home than having quietness!!. I am glad that I have a big family. I wounder what it is like to have just one sibling, It was kinda like that this past week. I only had my sister Abigail.  She is very fun to be with, just saying. I am very thankful that I have other siblings too, they are also fun to be with. I kinda miss the loudness of our house.  I guess you get so used to it that you miss the action. I did actually had fun with sister this past week. We did a lot of fun things together. Those that have a lot of siblings I would advise you to be thankful for them because what would you do with out them and you'll never know how long you will have them. It is nice having other siblings because that means you have more opportunities to show love  to them and also how much God loves them.
                                  BE THANKFUL FOR SIBLINGS.
 Yesterday I rode my horse Addy. She has unproved a ton. I am teaching her to shake, she is doing it for me when I tell her. I am also teaching her to bow, I just started that yesterday so I can't tell if she's picking up on it. Addy is now coming to me when I whistle at her, she is also trusting  me to pickup her back feet!!  She has been doing great on her front feet. So now there you have an  update on Addy.  =)


Enjoy February!

Asher Acres NEWS!!!!

1-18-12
Hi everybody, Yesterday was my mom's birthday!!  We have a very little amount of snow, but it is very cold out. It feels like winter with a little bit of snow. It helps with chores and hauling buckets of water a long distance.   I like not having to trudge through deep snow.
  Bethany is home while Daniel is at a training camp. I know she misses him, but I think she is glad to be home with her family too.  At least I know we like having her here.
  The news at Asher Acres is that we found a home for Angel!!!!  I am sooo glad she is going to a good home!!!!   My dad told them that we would bring her to their house on Sunday.  I get go see where she is going to live for a while!!!!!
  Is everybody having a good year?  I am.  Here are some pictures of us with our horses.

                                                                                     All of us girls and our horses

Chicago trip!!

12-31-11
  Hi everybody!  We have been sooo busy with Bethany's and Danial's wedding, Christmas parties and other things too. Did every body have a good Christmas? I did. Instead of giving each other big presents this year, our family went to Chicago!! We went to the Shedd Aquarium. There we saw sharks, very interesting looking fish, whales, dolphins. We also saw some dolphins do some some tricks too. We also went to the Field Museum. This museum was the museum that the movie Night Of the Museum was made in. There was some cool things there too.
                                        
Molly had puppies!! She only had two though. They are both girls and one is black and the other is yellow. We are very glad that they are both girls but we are also disappointed that she had only two. She usually has 6-10 puppies. Molly is our yellow female. She is the oldest dog we have and this is her last time having puppies. Oh we also have two other females so I think we will have enough puppies from them too. 
                                HAPPY NEW YEAR  !!!!!

Just life....

12-7-11
Hi everybody! Today Benjamin and I went with dad to finish a job.  He has been having us work with him quite a bit lately. 

We are so busy with Bethany's and Danial's wedding and with other things too. Bethany's and Danial's wedding is on the twenty-third of this month. I think there is one more shower, but it is at our house!! 

Did everybody have a good Thanksgiving? Well I know that my family and I did.   We went to Holland to my mom's side of the family.  We played a bunch of games with some very nice cousins who we have a lot of fun with. 

I have been riding Addy lately. She is coming to me when I call her but she still needs to learn to trust me on  picking  her front and back feet up. Even though she likes to go backwards when I want her to go forward,she is getting better and better each time I work on her.  We had snow last week but it all melted from the rain. Today it is very nice out. I think we found a good home for Angel. She is still at our place but the people that are possibly getting her have not pick her up yet.  Tonight I rode Addy and she is a very good horse to do cow cutting with. I think that the people that taught her to ride also taught her to do cow cutting too. She is awesome at doing what I want her to do. I was herding our little steer around and Addy would try to get it were I wanted the steer to go. She does not know how to do it very well yet,but if I keep working with it on her I think she will turn out to be a great  a cow cutter.  Even though she tries to go backwards and all the other things I told you readers what she is bad at, I think I got myself a good horse. If I keep working on her to trust me and and the other thing too she will turn out just fine.  Addy is also good going around barrels and and turning very sharp. If I work on barrels she will  be a great barrel racer too.
Well I think I that is all for now.

Black Friday!!

   11-25-11~
    Today Abigial went shopping with one of her friends at 3:00am. I think that is a very unusual time to go shopping. We came home from our Thanksgiving party at 10:15pm and she only had 5and a half hours to sleep.  I think if I did that I would not be all the way awake. I would also probably be a walking robot. At 5:30am Mom, Dad, Rebekah, Elizabeth, Benjamin amd I went shopping . I think that is a better time than waking up at 3:00 to go shopping. We did not get very much. Later this afternoon Mom, Rebekah, Elizabeth and I are going to go shopping again.
