Shearing Day

Saturday was our first ever attempt at shearing our alpacas. It went way better than expected and the alpacas are much happier and cooler! We still need to trim them up a bit and even out a few spots next weekend, but here are the pics from this past weekend.

This is the before and after picture of our male Power Point


Our juvies Lucian and Dandelion are done the mamas are next.


The whole group enjoying some hay after the commotion of being sheared.


I'll post better pics after we finish cleaning them up.

I know!

It has been a long time since my last post, but I have a nice long one for you this time!

First up: My Isaiah turned 6 on the 17th. I really can't believe it - time just flies by doesn't it? He got to have two parties on Mother's Day, a family night party on his birthday, and a small sleepover this past weekend. It was kind of like a whole birthday month for him!!

His knight cake I made - I ran out of icing - oops!
Party at Nonna's


Party at Mama Lou's and the baseball cake she made!

Enjoying his cherry pizza for his "real" birthday!

Tanner, Isaiah, and Ethan - Peanut's best cousins!

Next up was Adam's birthday. We had to rush around a bit because Lij had a baseball game, but it was still a fun evening.


I also had a wonderful Mother's Day and my terrific husband was paying attention and got me the pretty little charms I blogged about earlier. I was also showered with homemade cards and presents from the boys. I sure do love my boys!!!

Finally, this past weekend in addition to Isaiah's sleepover we sheared the alpacas on Saturday and dedicated Judah on Sunday.

My littlest man on his Dedication Day!

Oh and as a footer note, get out those brooms because the Pens are gonna SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP the Canes straight off the ice tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO PENS!!!!!

Rain Rain Go Away

Since it has been raining for 2 weeks straight I felt compelled to do an Etsy Find Friday all about rain.
