I spent quite a bit of time over the weekend photographing the goats. Problem is, the theme at You Capture today is smile. While I think the goats smile a lot, I’m not sure everyone would. I bet I can make you smile though.
Cinnamon donned last year’s butterfly costume. I must say, it’s getting a bit tight around the middle. Even if she isn’t full-fledged smiling, I think she looks quite happy.
Cinnamon
Don’t let the halo and angelic look fool you. Haley is no angel!
Haley
She turned into a monster demanding all the attention while we were playing.
Haley
Cookie is positively bewitching in her hat!
Cookie
I think Casey is just the cutest little stinker there is! I’d say that even if he weren’t wearing a dinosaur costume.
Casey
Mary already has cute little devil horns, but I like the added pair too. Hey, is that a smile on her face?
Mary
Don’t worry. They goats were quite adequately compensated for the costuming. Haley loved the carrots and tried getting everybody’s treat!
Cookie thought the Indian corn was mighty tasty. Casey was too stuck up to come taste it. He didn’t mind the costume, but he didn’t want me to touch him.
Cinnamon enjoyed her treat of peanuts.
I thought maybe Joe had a good smile, but it looks more like a wild eyed peanut-crazed determination to eat them all than a smile.
Joe
I did almost lose my thumb to her enthusiastic desire to get the peanuts.
I do hope I at least made you smile since I’m completely cheating on this topic.

I’m totally smiling! Thanks for posting these adorable photos. I really like Joe’s smile
Oct 22, 2012 @ 15:05:05
She really did turn into a wild thing when she got a whiff of the peanuts. Glad you enjoyed the visit.

You have the cutest goats ever, Teresa. And I do believe they smile!!! And always make me smile, too. xo
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:21:36
I do adore them! They make me smile too, but I admit they do have their moments of inspiring something besides a smile.
Oct 22, 2012 @ 15:56:11
That wasn’t cheating, your goats are definitely smiling and so am I!!
Cookie is so cute in that hat, it goes with her coloring perfectly!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:22:18
I thought it would be perfect for her!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 16:08:35
Well I think I have to vote for Cookie :O). She looks very sharp in her witch hat! Everyone was cute :O)
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:22:40
She did look perfectly festive!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 16:19:40
They look happy, I’m smiling too.
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:23:02
Glad we have smiles all around!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:29:16
I’m definitely smiling! I love the witch hat. What fun captures.
Oct 22, 2012 @ 17:34:44
I really like that hat. It looks good on Cinnamon too, but her horns get in the way. Cookie doesn’t have horns, so it’s a lot easier to put a hat on her.
Oct 22, 2012 @ 18:09:25
Cookie not only got a smile, but outright laughter! You had fun with this one, didn’t you?!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 19:08:04
Wait till you see what the Eden Hills Goatie Players have up their hooves!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 18:50:28
So cute. And, what fun getting them in all this garb and being able to take photos. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing.
Oct 22, 2012 @ 19:08:46
It really is fun to go play with the goats!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 18:56:10
How funny! I think the black and orange hat is the most becoming! Very cute!
Oct 22, 2012 @ 19:09:31
I do like that hat, and it’s perfect for her coloring!
Oct 23, 2012 @ 02:50:45
Hahaha… your dressed up goats made me laugh, not only smile. And your portrait of MJ is very cool too. Our cows in Asia look very different, as do our farms.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 06:49:08
My MJ is huge compared to most breeds. The goats are always good for a smile.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 03:52:24
Your photos are terrific !! I am still laughing ! I think I safe them in my pictures and when I am sad, I will just look at them ! So cheerful ! And they are so good to work as models !
Oct 23, 2012 @ 06:49:30
They are awfully good-natured!
Oct 23, 2012 @ 04:28:26
While the pictures made me smile, I’m not sure the goats were all that pleased about the whole dressing up thing!

Honestly, they didn’t care. They were just annoyed with me keeping them away from the food for a few seconds to put them on.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 05:37:25
That second shot made me laugh out loud. How cute!
Oct 23, 2012 @ 06:50:40
Well, glad to hear that! We do try to make the world a happier place.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 08:42:57
I’m surprised at how good the goats are to wear these costumes. Cookie looks especially cute…and pleased too.

Seriously, taking them in the driveway (because the barnyard was muddy) upset Casey and Cookie. Other than that they were all fine. Of course, Cinnamon and Haley were a bit annoyed that I interrupted their browsing to put on their costumes.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 14:09:01
I love these! Smile, indeed. I am smiling just looking at them. Great job!
Oct 23, 2012 @ 14:19:23
That’s good to hear! They usually give me a smile too. Usually.

She is very full of personality! Is that a nice of saying she’s ornery?
Oct 23, 2012 @ 15:43:18
Seriously………….this is the FUNNIEST blog post I have seen in a long time. Thanks so much for sharing!! I needed a laugh…they are darling all of them.

They are my sweeties! We do try to have fun around here. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 19:23:14
You made me smile with these cute Halloween pics.
Oct 23, 2012 @ 19:23:50
Glad to hear we put a smile on your face!
Oct 24, 2012 @ 10:33:42
I forgot all about Halloween coming up and haven’t dressed up the kids for the holiday. Maybe I can come up with something this weekend.
Oct 24, 2012 @ 11:03:33
Myson has a big production planned, so we had to start early. Have fun!
Oct 24, 2012 @ 21:12:39
Oh, that Joe! Heart.

My dear Joe is a sweetie!
