HC Farms First Baby ! Its a Girl !!!



Name Unknown yet !!!

Our first farm baby has been born.  Wednesday @ 1 in the afternoon.  I had put the girls out to graze and had hoped to get them back in before it started raining but sure enough I had to get my own little ones down for nap and the rain had started !  I went out and instead of just two goats in the Field there was three.  I did freak a little and so did momma goat.  See she is the mom of the soon to momma white goat(Lainy).  And Lainy ran to the barn to get out of rain and left her mom,Fiona.  Well Fiona got upset and ran after her...so I grabbed baby with towel to get her in out of chilly weather.  Then Fiona remembers new baby and runs back to Field.  All the while I'm holding baby and chasing momma three times from barn to field.  Finally Baby makes noise in my arms and Fiona chills out and I get all three into stall.  Forgive the photo's  , my camera does not take good inside pictures.  So least to say I'm keeping whole family up today hoping that Lainy is due to kid anytime now too and we will have an easier go with stress. 
Side note :  I'm not sure if Goats are supposed to run after giving birth (I know I would not or could not) but clearly the Goat is in better shape than me !  I could hardly breath to tell Jacob there was a baby.  I think he was more worried about me !

Funny Friday : Only a 2 year old !!!

Wow it has been a busy week... I thought I would post twice a week but other than really my glances at FB when I need to check something I am never on my computer.  New schedule has me a little tired this week.  Before Goats I was pretty lazy in the a.m.  Getting up anytime Nathan woke up as long as it was no later than like 7:15.  Bare minimum to get boys going for school since we leave at 7:50.  I decided to get Nathan into his crib this week and that has gone great, he loves to sleep.  Still getting up once a night but that is fine with me till he gets bigger.  So getting up at 6 now to get ready and feed goats (and see if they had kids overnight) and then get boys going for school.  Amazing how hard it is to get out of bed but then 5 minutes of being awake im am on with my day!  Anyhow...keeping up with four boys and cleaning and getting used to Goats has been the priority this week.  This is pic of their first day on the job !!!  Honeysuckle cleanup crew.
A few days ago I told Isaac that during spring break this year I promise to get him to a Zoo.  He has been asking for awhile now.  Well this morning we were talking about Zoo's again and I said I bet there is a White Tiger at this Zoo.  Tigers were the convo this a.m. bc we ate frosted flakes and we have a Tony Tiger plush.  Anywhooo.... Izzy goes on to tell me that when we are done with the White Tiger Zoo can we  go to the Orange Tiger Zoo because he wants to see Orange Tigers !!!  Then a few minutes later he says "Mommy,you like Purple".  Yes I say and then he asks if we can go to the Purple Zoo !!!  I am going to have to break the news to him about colors...I guess I dont get him out much....ooops.

New Year...New things !

Wow...has it really been since August since my last post?  We moved September 8th !  WE LOVE THIS HOUSE !!!  God put me here oh so gently and I am loving it all!  What a blessing for my kids to get to know their Grandmother more even though she drives me crazy which all moms do I think at some point ! LOL !  She is so good to the boys (well that is what they say)  I disagree with the M&M's and potato chips all the time but hey...Some day I will do that to my grandkids im sure!
So a quick catch up on Capozella's !!!  We added Nathan Joseph Capozella on Nov. 18th.  He came into this world ready and speedy and we have loved every minute of having this sweet boy in our lives ! 
Other than Nathan all our other new things had previous owners !  Kinda like the yard sale ads you see in papers...Used items but New to you !  Joe along with Mr. Honeycutt added a 1964 Ferguson Red Tractor and now has become Joe's 2nd love !!!  Even if the tractor is not needed he has started it up and taken a ride once a week since it came in September!  Other item was my "Trash Truck".  Got a great deal on a large cab truck that actually fits all 6 of us and I use it for Trash each week!  Love my truck !
This week we added our first Farm animal!  Thank you http://www.teufelhudenfarm.com/ for our new "Girls" or rather I say "Momma's".  We bought 2 Does that have been bred from my sweet freind.  I was so excited that this fit for us right now because my friend has 3 kids and dogs and cats and the goats would be used to the action around here !  They are doing great and we are loving our new animals.  Although Jacob tells me we are not a farm yet until we have another animal that is different.  Hummm....will have to work on that. 
Okay so as far as the Post please check in on Fridays.  Im going to do my Funny Fridays and boy do I have funnies to share.  Living with these 4 children and an amazing husband brings funnies all the time and some I want to share...(others we will keep to ourselves..especially if they involve me !) LOL ! Enjoy pictures !

Its August !!! Projected Move in Month !!!!

We have a Patio now !

Joe checking out Microwave!

Boys on LARGE tractor at fair
What amazing times for the kids.  Summer Break has been filled with Capozella family time making unforgetable memories at water gun play, Beach time with Honeycutt's splashing in waves and even a West Va. road trip just  me and the kids.  We had the best time! Lots of swimming this summer and visiting friends from the Lake where we moved from, since the boys do not have too many friends here in the county yet.  School starts in two weeks and I can't believe Im a mom of a K and 1st.  Where has the time gone? Im sure we all can say that, time moves on so fast in an adults world whether your in times of trials or blessings.  I was thinking Sunday that the time moves so fast and so much energy to take care of such a young family that the chaos to it all is what keeps us all put together and headed towards our goals.  I know that with three small boys and one baby on the way chaos is all around me and has moved in for a long time!  That is good news then !!! 
The kitchen is coming together and all the small things are being placed.  Questions like where do I want the towel rack?  I wish I had a personal assistant that could just make 100 % sound choices without my imput.  Im so easy to please with this house its hard to answer those questions.  Well Chaos moves all around (J,E &I) and I keep moving forward with them , the house is going to serve an amazing purpose for this family and I can't wait to move in.  Thank you to all who read this and keep up, enjoy your week.

I am so excited in seeing this House come all together.  The heat is on here in Va but the workers just keep going.  We walk through the house atleast every other day.  It can almost look the same and I still just love standing there looking at this amazing home we are about to fill up !  I can't wait to have the space and property to make our home.  Painting has been done and we are looking forward to seeing the kitchen come together in the next week!
Back of the house, going to add patio soon.

Here I am !!!

Wow...what a long move its been.  We moved May 21st and Internet left me that sad day.....the apartment we moved into did not have internet established and Verizon gave us a headache trying to get on their work order list and then setting it up was not easy either....not sure why.  Hubby took care of most of it..... We just got back from 8 days at the Beach.  One night in D.C. with my Grandmother that will be 91 this month and other nights at our sweet spot in life...Ocean City !!!  The kids lived in the Ocean and played in his bucket with Sand Crabs and was official cleaner of my feet !
THE HOUSE !!!!   Our beatiful home on our property is absolutly amazing and I am so excited to get into it.  Word is Mid August and then we will have closing time so I am thinking late August Move.  Oh so special.   All major worked completed on the outside and starting on the inside now with trim , paint, floors, lighting and ect.   Picking all of that has been such a tough Job.  But let me tell you.  Joe and I have been an A+ team with all this decisions !!! I am so happy over that !!!!  All right...for now here are some pictures to tell the story !!!
Jacob made a picture at our LM house for the new owner...."Thank you for beying our house" We left it !

Wacky Window Wednesday !!!

Windows all going in and framing steps now after Basement was poured! I hope to use the stairs by the weekend instead of Ladders...
Look who is peaking in on Mr. F ! Just making sure the job is done right !

                                     I can't wait to try first taste of my "bluebabies" I call them my babies bc last year we had so little rain and I had to go water them often and so did hubby.
It has been a long week.  So much to do and so little time. I need a plain Capozella kind of day...it will come soon.  I have 3 more nights in our home of 8 years.  Tears are starting alreday...Going to miss my friends and neighbors and park and road to play on....so many things.  But, so many things coming in return too!  Anyow as you see house is coming along so great and next week I get to see it everyday instead of my once a week trip with camera !
We meet our new neighbor at our apartment this week...we talked for a few minutes and then I said , "Well we have 3 boys so I will try to keep them quiet".  His reponse.."Don't worry, thats ain't going to happen".  I laughed so hard and Joe said ..."He is so right".  It was funny.
I thought I would add this funny to this post too ....Conversation with a 2 year old while it was just him and me on way back from town in car.
Mommy: "That pizza from Roma's was good last night"
2 yr old : "What"
Mommy: "The Pizza"
2 yr old : "Where"
Mommy: "At Roma's silly"
2 yr old: "Oh yeah"
I GIVE UP... I will stick to singing songs on the CD when in car
