Contest Photos

I have been putting pictures in a local photography contest for the last couple of years.  I think three years.  This year I entered two pictures.

I had fun taking pictures and then looking for pictures to use. We went to a flower garden and I took the frog picture. It scared me at first because I did not see the frog.  But when I looked at the picture, I saw the frog.

We went to Bonneyville so Momma could take some pictures of friends.

It is my b-day.  We had pancakes. And a cup of orange juice for lunch. The pancakes had a cream cheese and sugar swirls.  It was good.  I am having a fun day.  We just had cake and ice cream.

Here is the pancake recipe if you want to try them too.

Make your favorite pancake batter. We made pumpkin pancakes with gingerbread cookie spice in it.

Make a cinnamon topping with 1 stick melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 TBL of ground cinnamon.  Mix together well and put in a ziplock bag.

Make the icing by adding 4 Tbl softened butter to 2 ounces of cream cheese.  Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.  Mix well until no lumps remain.

Start baking the pancakes like normal.  But, after clipping a small hole in the bag, squeeze some cinnamon mixture in a spiral over the pancake before flipping.  Cook as normal.  When ready to eat, add cream cheese icing.

Daddy said these would be great for a Thanksgiving or Christmas breakfast!

Our neighbor showed us a bag like it (she made for her daughters).  I liked it, so she gave us the pattern.  Oma gave me the inside (material).  And I picked out the (pink outside) material and Momma bought it.

It was easy! But it looked hard. It took two days to sew.

Surprise!

Today there was a new baby alpaca.  When the neighbors called, we ran straight over.  Our neighbor called just after she pulled the baby out.  The momma was too tired. The vet said everything is okay!

I get to pick the name this time! I will be given three names to chose from.  Mark got to pick Wicket’s name.  We will know her name in an hour or two.

 

Name Update:  I picked out the name Luminara

 

 

Name Update: Her name is Luminara

Exciting Surprise

We went across the street to see if any baby crea’s were born. We were surprised to find one of the babies had JUST been born! The owners did not expect the baby to be coming today 🙂

We stayed around and made sure one of the other alpacas did not hurt the baby. We locked them up in the other side. We had to be sure that the baby stood up and eat something. We were told to make sure his head was up and his ears were forward.  He looks like a healthy baby, but he is the smallest so far. If there were problems we needed to call the neighbors RIGHT AWAY and hopefully we never have to use the stuff in the emergency cupboard.

I like the new baby, he is very soft!

Friday

Today we went to see the goats where I work across the street. There are two new babies.  I am  holding Friday. He has a sister and she is white just like her mom.  Her name is Peaches.  He is about 12 hours old!

They have a big brother named Lucky.  He is about a year old. When we take a walk we hear him. He is loud and it sounds like he is going MAAAAARK! FEEEEEEED MEEEE!  MAAAAAARK!
