Opening Day Success!!!

Opening Day Success!!!

Darin can't believe hunting season is over.

I am looking forward to good eats.

Quatro has Arrived!!

Yes, SHE has arrived all by herself. Her Momma is the one behind her and did a fine job of delivering. Whew! We are so so Glad!!!

She was born on 9/28 sometime between 5:00pm -6:30pm because I discovered her at 6:50pm.

She is tiny compared to Tres who was born 5 days earlier.

Well, sadly but thankfully this concludes our newborns of 2007. We will be expecting our first Uno 08 in March 2008. It has been a successful year of all our new arrivals. Hopefully next year we will have the same success.

Baby Girl Tres

She is one day old in this picture. She is doing really well. She and her Momma join the others in the pasture.

Its a GIRL! Baby Cow

This is Tres and she was born this morning. Momma' s water broke just after 7:00am and she arrived at 9:20 am. She had to have help from Darin and Pete. She is doing just fine. She is just a beauty.

I will post more pictures of her up close.

Silver Creek Plunge

This is Silver Creek on your way up to Silver Creek Plunge, Idaho.
Beautiful drive.

Here is our campsite at Silver Creek Plunge. We were right next to the road. It was about the only place available when we arrived late friday night. We scouted for better camp spot the next day but no such luck. It is a beautiful drive up there however, we will not return to this area to camp again. There were way too many people and dirt bikes going up and down the road all day long and there weren't many places to go in order to get away from all the campers . The hot spring was a nice set up but again too many people and not that warm. It was not to our expectations. We heard coyotes at night and saw some Elk foot prints around our campsite. If you want to ride on your dirt bike all day long this is the place to be but if your looking for peace and quite we don't recommend camping here.

New Arrival !

Please welcome the arrival of Dos. June 12th between 5:00-6:30pm he finally arrived!!
We were expecting him to arrive on his due date June 10th but nope ...not quite yet he wasn't ready. Darin kept a close eye on Momma making sure she was ok and to see how close she is getting but with all the chores going on too we missed this exciting time of his arrival. His momma did all the work and we are very proud of her. Darin found him at this spot in our pasture all cleaned up and walking! We are sorry we missed it all. It was a very different experience from when we had Uno.

He is a soft little fella!! We are very happy with his markings.

Up close his has very long and beautiful eyelashes.
