Well well well! If you're not into baby chickens, maybe you're into baby DONKEYS!
We KNEW Hillary was pregnant, but we didn't know the due date. Today, we learned that it was TODAY!
Hillary delivered this CUTE little fella this morning. This will be the last baby donkey born on the farm, as all of the boys have had their plumbing altered since Hillary got pregnant (way to go, Fitz...).
When this little fella is old enough, he'll make a visit to the vet's office as well for some alterations. Until then, he'll get to bounce around the pasture and sniff wildflowers 'till his heart's content!
I was able to run out to the pasture at lunch, so you're looking at high NOON photos (ack!). And by the way, it hit 95 degrees here today. *I wilted*
I think Hillary is happy to have lost some baby weight... it feels so GOOOOOOD to roll!
Ooooh yeah, right there....
"Tell me when you're done, Mom... I'm so embarrassed!"
A little to the right....
Which way, that a-way!
"You know, I could really go for a snack!"
"Come on kiddo, we're outta here!"
(Oh, Hillary...I see your boobies!)
donkeys, horses, chickens, cattle and sheep! your a farmer just like me. too fun. BTW how do you have time to craft? do you have a caretaker or a lot of kids like me?

AAAWWWW! These pictures are wonderful! High noon or not...what great action to catch! She looks like she's really enjoying herself and that baby is soooo cute!

I'm loving all these animal pictures! Amazing work! Adorable subjects! I'm dying laughing about Hillary rolling. Poor thing was probably huge and itchy for so long. Funny, I remember feeling huge and itchy when I was preggers too!

Posted by: Meredith | April 27, 2009 at 03:05 PM
How sweet! I just love the hair on his head!! But, man, I wish I could roll around in the grass the same day I delivered my babies!! LOL Thanks for sharing.

That is the most adorable baby donkey I have ever seen! I love his coloring. I hope he stays that way :)
Posted by: Brenda | April 23, 2009 at 08:38 PM
OMGosh, how cute these donkeys are! That is the sweetest little baby boy. Love his coloring! And what a fun series of photos... I love your sense of humor.
Why no more baby donkeys?
Posted by: Lisa Hjulberg | April 23, 2009 at 08:32 PM
Oh, it's so wild on your farm. These pictures are hilarious. I remember after my babies were born how wonderful it felt to be able to sleep on my tummy again! Hey, this little guy has a cute tuft of hair on the top of his head. Guess you should name him Toughy. Love all the pictures, even the boobie shot...
Posted by: Barb Hardeman | April 23, 2009 at 07:41 PM
What a cute little spottie!
Posted by: Michelle | April 23, 2009 at 07:31 PM
He is so adorable and she is beautiful! Love the great pictures with the beautiful green pasture adn blue bonnets. I love the lil' fellow's hair, looks puffy on top.
Posted by: inkypaws | April 23, 2009 at 07:26 PM
How adorable!!! You photos are awesome and the donkeys look especially cute against the beautiful bluebonnets! I wish I could come pet them! Thanks for putting photos of all of your babies on here too. I enjoy them as much or more than the stamping and I LOVE the stamping!
Posted by: Michelle H in IL | April 23, 2009 at 06:47 PM
He is so CUTE! I love his spots and bushy bangs. LOL Does he have a name yet? You know how I LOVE to come up with names for your animals. Mom, Hillary, makes me think of two names right off the bat. One is Bill for obvious reasons, but the second one is family-related. My step-grandfather's name was Bueist Hillary Adams. I think that Bueist would make a fine donkey name, don't you? LOL
Posted by: Janet S | April 23, 2009 at 06:08 PM
Very sweet baby. I think you should call him George Washington. That tuft of hair on his head looks like George's whig.
Posted by: Jodi | April 23, 2009 at 05:32 PM
Oh my! I love that baby donkey, he is absolutely adorable! Momma rolling around is a real cutie too! Too funny! Thanks for sharing all your great pictures - I love seeing all the animals! And I cant imagine it being 95 outside! I'm still looking forward to hitting 60 for a few days in a row (I'm in Canada) ... summer will be here come June ... hahahaha!
Posted by: Debby W. | April 23, 2009 at 04:44 PM
Another reason to love your blog so completely, what could be better? Papercrafting and animals, not just animals but BABY animals, I love it!

I love the new little guy's tuft of white hair! He's adorable. Hillary rolling around in the flowers is just precious - so spring-fever'ish. Thanks for sharing the pics!
Posted by: Kerry from PA | April 23, 2009 at 01:37 PM
He's a cutie! I wish I lived close by so I could come and visit!
Posted by: Erika M | April 23, 2009 at 01:27 PM
That's the cutest thing I've seen all day! I keep thinking of "donkey" in Shrek! LOL!

Hillary makes very cute babies. He is precious. Love the white tuft on his head.Was hoping to hear how the chickens liked their first night in the new coop, but I'll take gorgeous pics of donkeys too.
Posted by: Sally | April 23, 2009 at 03:11 AM

Posted by: hello gorgeous | April 23, 2009 at 12:54 AM
I soooo love this blog!! What beautiful photos and such a cute Mum and baby (yep, I'm English in the UK so it's Mum, not Mom, to me) I follow the adventures at your place everyday and love it. I so envy you with all those animals around and the space you have. Love your crafty stuff as well. Such a mixture and a breath of fresh air. Don't ever give up posting ........

Posted by: Melissa Cash | April 22, 2009 at 08:28 PM
What a sweetie!!! He looks like he's wearing an angora hat. Sorry to hear there won't be any more baby donkeys but I guess when they stay on as pets you get a full house after a while. TFS Ann Lind
