Thanksgiving 2011

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We ate with the Whites and the Fox Family at my moms house in Plain City. It was so nice to have a house fully equipped for a big crowd. The weather was beautiful and we ate, played outside, slept, and shopped all the ads!

Shipping Cows 2011

Year after year my pictures repeat themselves. They are all pretty much the same from one branding to the next. Shipping and pregging its all the same however I keep taking pictures of it. Today Dean shipped the babies. I love when they are gone it give me less anziety, I don't even know why I worry about it I have nothing to do with it however year after year I'm glad to see them go.

Today while I was getting ready and thinking about how year after year Dean does the same thing it occoured to me that he never complains about working. Never. He never says O I wish I didn't have to go to work today. I remember my first year of teaching I would lay in bed just a little while longer hoping that the school would call and say it was a snow day and I deifently remember wishing I didn't have to go to work somedays. I'm so glad he is a hard worker but I'm mostly glad he loves his job. He amazes me and he is cute.

Dean's Birthday

I wanted to take Josie Bowling, so for Dean's birthday we went to Poky to get boots, dinner and go bowling. I'm not entirely sure Dean enjoyed himself but I'm positive Josie did. She loves bowling, she was all over the place.

Secretly I'm taking it upon myself to be this couples wedding video photographer. I'm not even sure they know but I have hopes for them.

I Broke the Microwave

Last night our microwave gave out. I went to town to get a new one today. Dean set it up and got rid of the old one. I went over to set the clock on it. Then Dean, completely serious, in an 'aha' moment voice said, "I know why the old on broke... because you ran it so much when there was noting in it."

WHAT? WHY WOULD I EVEN DO THAT?

Teething?

We have been going through a lot of Tylenol around here

She is finally tall enough to reach the spoons.

He is crawling everwhere - Sometimes right out of his diaper.

Why are they never dressed?

Not a super good picture but Craig killed this huge deer and I think Dean was the most excited about it. Dean talked about it for days and is still talking about it. Craig is way cool!

We named Trig after Trigger because we love him so much and they have the exact same birthday! Now that our boy is a little older they have the same hair cut and I'm pretty sure they even have the same ears. We drove to Ogden for Halloween and grandpa Trigger made it SO worth it. He was delighted to have a little Trigger in the house, he couldn't have given me a better reaction. Though his mustache doesn't turn up quite as much as it used to and his belt got a little too big I think they still make a pretty cute pair. I hope this boys grows up to be as good of grandpa to his grand kids as Trigger has been to Dean. We sure love them both.

Peacock

Josie was a really good sport this Halloween. We put her costume on and off a dozen times and she didn't mind at all. We went to visit all of her great grandparents. She didn't even get to go Trick-or-Treating, I figure we have plenty of time for that the next ten years.

Great Picture?

Valley Implement took a bunch a guys on a hunting trip, to tour some tractor factories, and a big feed lot. They were gone a few days and covered quite a bit of country. I told Dean to take some pictures, and this is what I got. I asked him what it was and he just said, "you would have to see it to understand it".

luckily somebody text him this picture

A Date?

Dean told me to get a babysitter so I could go with him to doctor cows. We rode through, doctored, and sorted calves for half the day. I enjoyed watching him work, but mostly I just enjoy being with him. The top picture is actually from another day but I had to add it for my dad. Dean wanted him to see the grey mares progress!

6 months

My little guy is 6 months old today. He is getting better at sitting up and today he started army crawling. He is doing pretty good and gets to most of his destinations just as his sister picks up whatever he is after and says, "Mine". He drools all the time, but is so happy that I can't be bothered. He still isn't very good at eating solids, I hope he isn't going to have texture issues too. He loves attention from Josie and his dad. He is a good boy and we love having him around! I can't believe 6 months has gone so fast.

Teenage Mom?

Teenagers are hard. Maddie came to stay with me for a couple days after a boy from Grace took her to his dance. She is so fun and so helpful. I did however get a little taste of all the drama of a 16 year old. We took Marie with us to Preston and they talked of Drama. I took Maddie to church...more boy Drama. I love to visit with her, she told me about friend drama and boyfriend drama and homework drama. I didn't have her sleep downstairs in fear she would be scared and that would add more drama to her life. Look at the picture even her makeshift bedroom is a mess, she is such a teenager. I loved having Maddie all to myself for a few days, she is getting so old, so pretty, so boy crazy, and so dramatic. She is still sweet and I love to be with her.

Just because he is adorable!
