He had NO idea!!
Sometime in the last week or two Micah discovered Chap-stik.
AND he discovered the drawer in the bathroom where the Chap-stik lives. We laugh everytime we see him putting the Chap-stik on because he just smears it all over his face.
Well....tonight he must have stumbled upon a tube of LIPSTICK in the drawer where the Chap-stik lives!!
And when he came downstairs after putting his "Chap-stik" on.... he HAD NO IDEA why we were all laughing so much harder than we usually do!!!

Other "House" news...
It's not that I had forgotten to post about these things....it's just that I have not been posting much about anything lately (hold your comments, please!)
Brock just recently finished his first season of swimming.
It's not that he just learned to swim (he accomplished that at 4 or 5 years old)....but he has never swam competitively before.
We were so excited that he tried it. AND THAT HE LOVED IT!!
He learned so much and improved on every stroke...not to mention those flip turns!
We are so proud of him for trying something new and working so hard at it!!!!
AND then there was this....
Toby Mac---
AND JEREMY CAMP---
In concert together!!!
Maybe I should have posted bigger pictures. But I came to the conclusion that the pictures really don't do it justice...I should have had some video (but is that illegal??!!!???)
Anyway, it turns out that I didn't even have a picture of MY MOST FAVORITE THING OF THE WHOLE NIGHT anyway... the 3 friends that were sitting beside me!!! Carrie, Colleen, Sheila and I had a great time!! A girls night out! ROCK ON!!!
And because I am SO mad that I didn't get a picture of us at THIS concert...I decided to grab one from the archives of us at THIS concert instead.

Baby goats!!!
Introducing......
the newest residents in our barn!!!
This first little guy was born a couple of weeks ago.
He hasn't been named yet...so he is referred to as "little red buck".
Then this little guy just joined us on Tuesday.
And as you can see....Micah is bonding quite well with him!
The last two weeks have been very bitersweet (maybe more bitter than sweet?!?!)
Unfortunately, we have lost several kids and even a mama goat (Erica's "Betsy"...not the mama to either of these two kids). So, it has been a little stressful, emotional, and exhausting. This was the first time for our "mama-does" to breed, and they have all had triplets...too big and very difficult deliveries.
We are trying not to be too overwhelmed by all of this...and, instead, just focus on these very cute, very bouncy kids.
We still have one more doe to deliver (Erica's "Bonnie")...so we are hoping for the best! It seems a little odd to request prayer for a goat...but (given how things have gone so far) I'm just dropping a hint here...

If this blog was a ...
I was thinking today that if this blog was a car along side the road....it would have been towed by now!!!!
We are still here.
And I think about posting something almost every day.
But somehow I never seem to get around to it.
It's that morning routine that I was telling you all about. I have been trying so hard to stay dedicated to my morning quiet time and work-out. But, I have realized that for it to work I HAVE to get to bed early (and by "early", I mean before 11 p.m. --- not early as in "early morning" like I used to do!). Quite frankly, I am still trying to figure out WHEN (if not at 1:00 a.m.) I am supposed to get my other stuff done ...you know, CRITICAL stuff like blogging!! :)
If anyone is still reading...THANKS for sticking around.
I promise some updates this week!!
