It's almost autumn and you know what that means.... PUMPKINS!!

 Pumpkins!

There is a guy who works at the local grocery store that saves the damaged pumpkins for us.  He called yesterday so we went down to the store and brought these home.  You might be wondering what we do with them... we feed them to the goats!! They LOVE them!  I'm not going to ramble on, other than to say I'm still figuring out my camera so some of the pictures are blurry.  I don't have a lot of spare time to play around with it (also the reason I so rarely blog and probably don't have many readers left), but some of them turned out cute.  So enjoy!

 Kamikaze chomping down on his pumpkins.

 Daniel is obsessed with pumpkin!! He tries to chase everyone else away.

 Wildfire with a big mouthful!

 Daniel looking handsome!  The flash finally didn't go off so his blue eyes look pretty.

 My handsome Batman with his gorgeous blue eyes.  This is Georgia's son born in December.

 This one is my favorite of the day.  

Kamikaze has such gorgeous horns and I love his half white/half black beard.  So cute!

 Here's Wildfire with his mini-me younger brother Monarch.

 Monarch looks so much like his big brother, but he has blue eyes.

We will probably be selling him.

 Another cute one of KK looking over his shoulder at me.  

Shh, don't tell anyone he's one of my top favorites!

 Gulliver is looking SO grown up and handsome!  Can you believe this is my bottle baby??

LOVE him!  He's only a year old and already just under 150lbs!

 Here is hubby with Jasper (Gulliver's father)!  Jasper's head is bigger than hubby's!

Jasper is over two hundred pounds, so he weighs more than me and my hubby!

I love the photobomb by Buddy, my parent's pup.

 Nomming on some delicious pumpkin.

 Don't ask what is all over his face... you don't want to know.

 He was shaking his head.  It was too hilarious not to post.

 Then he was doing the flehman.

 Georgia is looking good!  I still can't believe she turns ten in a month and a half.

 Zephyr and Sandia inspecting the pumpkin.

 Sapphire was smart and used her leg to help break off chunks of pumpkin.

This turned out super blurry, but I had to share a picture of Lyric so you could see how much cashmere she has grown in already (and it's still in the 90sF).  She's normally jet black, but that dusting of white over the top is her cashmere.  She was being so cute eating the seeds off the ground instead of eating the flesh out of the pumpkins.

 Bubbles and Strawberry weren't sure about the wagon the pumpkins were in.

 Almost everyone piled right in to eat the pumpkin.

 This beautiful girl is Tanzanite Too, or Tanz for short.

I haven't posted much of the kids that were born this year because I've been so busy.  I hate that I don't have pictures showing them growing up like I usually do.  Her mother is Tanzanite, who we actually sold in the spring because a girl fell in love with her and wanted to compete with her at the local shows.  When we sold Tanzanite, Tanz was sort of adopted by Topaz (her grandmother), which was totally adorable.  She is half Myotonic.  Her sire is Daniel from earlier in the post.

This beautiful girl is Topaz's daughter from December.  She's the only one we have left from the triplets.  We sold her brother and her sister had her neck broken in a freak accident when she was only a week or so old.  I absolutely love this girl.  She is so much like Topaz.  I'm still trying to decide on a name.

I love this picture.  It looks like LeeAnn and her daughter are kissing, but they actually aren't even very close to each other.  Gotta love perspective.  LeeAnn's daughter (name also pending) is such a sweetheart and is built really nice.  We sold her twin sister.

The last shot is Bubbles, just because I love her face.

We have daughters of Andesine, Blossom and Strawberry, but they are in the weaning pen so I didn't get pictures of them.  I will try to get pictures as soon as they go back in the big herd.  They are SO cute and all three does were great first time mothers.  I will share more information when I introduce them.  We have Bubble's son, but we will be selling him.  She was a great mom too, although she did get a blockage in her udder.  Luckily she only had a single so feeding him was no problem.

That's all I have for now.  I really need to do better about posting because I keep the blog partly as a record for myself and I feel like I missed out on so much with the kids this year.  Next year's kidding season is going to be super exciting because we are trying something new, but I'll fill you in on the details with that later.

I need to update more often... I even have a new member of the family to introduce, but I just haven't had time.  I will get it scheduled to post tomorrow.  If you follow me on Instagram you will already know who it is.  If not, well you'll have to check back tomorrow!!
