Still Kickin'

2011-08-30T15:15:00.000-07:00

Some people update their blog often...some people don't. Which brings me to a really great observation Porter made; "Sometimes we throw up, sometimes we don't." The kid is a genius!
I don't even know where to start to catch y'all up on my life so I won't even try. I'll post a few pictures here and say that all is well with me and my family.
The kids are growing up too fast. Porter will start school in one year. That's way too soon for me. Adellia is, I think, pretty much exactly like me at her age. She loves to make messes!! Just this morning she made a beautiful blue masterpiece on the wall with crayons. Rubie is 8 months old now and she's so close to walking it's scary! She has such a funny personality and I anticipate that she will be my "diffucult" child. What am I saying, she already is!! She loves to torment the bigger kids when they are trying to eat. "Mom, Rubie is stealing my food!!" I have one of those baby seats that hooks to the table for her to sit in when we eat but she hates it and makes short work of the 5-point harness that holds her in it. I have to stay within an arms length when she's in it so she won't fall out.
Trent is back in school now (online) which means a lot of work for me and him. I think my job is harder. Don't tell him I said that. I have to keep the kids under control and somewhat quiet while he does his homework. Plus I'm like his secretary. I make sure he knows what is due when and all that stuff.
My garden is doing ok this year. I have what I like to call a tomato jungle in the greenhouse. Im getting squash and cucumbers pretty regularly now too. Porter's giant pumpkins are doing good but they may not end up being as giant as the picture on the seed packet. The only thing that dissapointed us this year is the corn. I put it in a new spot and I think it may not get enough sun. We will still get some corn but not as much as last year. I already have plans for what I will do with next years garden. I also want to plant some more flowers. Porter's sunflowers mostly got ate by the bulls through the fence and I didn't really plan ahead with the flowers so I got very few blooms. I am looking forward to hollyhocks next summer and some lupines that I just planted (if they survive the winter).

She wanted tomatoes with her breakfast. YUM!!

Cabin Fever

2011-01-17T20:59:00.000-08:00

It warmed up today quite a bit, but it's still too cold to take Rubie outside to play. I am pretty much dying of cabin fever. I can't wait till summer. Rubie is one month old today. I can't believe it. She's already growing up too fast. Trent has been sick the last few days. He's got a sore throat, stuffy nose, cough and fever. I went to church yesterday by my self with three kids. Holy cow that was fun, and I'm sure it was entertaining to everyone else in our branch. But we made it through. It was Porter's second time going to "sunbeams" (which is really just the younger half of the primary) He really had a hard time. He wanted to go to nursery with Adellia. So I went to class and primary with him. I think he will get the hang of it...I hope.

I'm Back

2010-12-28T13:34:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I'm kind of sick of facebook so I thought I'd come back here to share my life with my friends. Besides that I've got a lot of "friends" on facebook that I don't really consider close enough friends to share with them my thoughts and other things that go on in my life. Most of you (except for you blog-stalkers out there...you know who you are) who know about this blog are close friends and family.
I won't waste time trying to catch up on everything that has happened since I last posted because it has been a whole year. The most important thing that happend this year happened last friday when our 3rd baby was born. Her name is Rubie and she is a sweetheart and we love her to pieces. That said she just woke up and needs her mama so until next time (hopefully not next year) Have a great New Year and all that stuff.

On December 4 we moved to Spring Valley, Nevada to the church ranch.Where Trent got a job as the Foreman. It is a good job and we love being far away from civilization. I have been working on decorating the new house. This is Adellia's room, a work in progress.

I made a new slip-cover for our couch. Sometimes I even suprise myself with my amazing domestic abilities ha ha.

This is the view from our living room window. Beautiful even in the dead of winter.

On January 11 my Grandma Barbara died. She was a very talented awesome lady that I look up to very much. I will miss her greatly.

This is a picture of all my cousins on my mom's side that were able to come the funeral. Alot of them I hadn't seen in years.

2010-01-23T18:01:00.000-08:00

We had a fun Christmas. Porter got a Trike from Santa and Adellia got a bouncy zebra thing. We had family come up here for dinner.

These are some pies I made for Christmas dinner.

2010-01-23T17:55:00.000-08:00

We took family pictures in Veyo (Not professional if you can't tell). It was a complete circus and out of probably fifty photos this is about the best.

Christmas Tree Hunting

We found the perfect tree, but when we got it home it barely fit in our house.

These were just some cute pics playing on a Dozer in Caliente

2010-01-23T17:33:00.000-08:00

I made these Skunk costumes for Halloween. They turned out really cute. Halloween didn't go quite as planned we ended up unexpectedly going trick-or-treating in Veyo with improvised costumes. Daddy got there later with the skunk costumes so we put them on to take pictures.

These are pictures from this summer out to Barclay.

Nobody needs to tell me that my kids are the cutest kids in the whole world. I already know!!

2009-05-14T21:20:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics of my cute kids. Porter got a haircut. Isn't he cute?!

Adellia is getting so big. She can stand up on her own now... still waiting for that first step.

2009-03-30T11:44:00.000-07:00

Life has been pretty dull lately. We have all been sick. First Porter got the pukes, and then all of us except Adellia got a nasty cold. Porter spent last Monday morning just laying on my lap, He didn't want to do anything. He would just lay there and then suddenly sit up and puke on me. It took all I had not to throw up right back on him. Things are looking up I am almost over my cold and so is Porter. Trent still doesn't feel 100% but I'm almost sure he's gonna live through it. Other than all that crap there have been a few good things going on. We planted a strawberry patch this week. Trent was disappointed when he found out that the first year you have to pick the blossoms off so the plants can establish their roots. He said "You mean I wasted all that money (10 whole dollars) and I don't even get any strawberries for a whole year?!" I think he had fun anyway. He got to saw a big tractor tire in half with the saws all to make the planters.

I think maybe I will start actually writing stuff instead of just posting photos. Well here it goes...I'll start with this week since I don't really feel like catching everyone up on our current situation I'll just say we are in the middle of some big "life/career changes" in other words we have no clue where we'll be or what we will be doing in the future. That said this week has been pretty un-eventful. Porter, Adellia and I went over to G'ma and G'pa Hughes' last weekend. I got to rope some calves for the first time in a long time. That was fun. It made me miss the old days of chasing rodeos. The kids had fun too. We all came home with sunburns.

2009-03-08T18:42:00.000-07:00

Today we got our first calf of the year!!!! A cute little heifer calf.

"Changes" By Trent

2008-12-27T19:34:00.000-08:00

Well for a while there it was lookin' like we'd spend Christmas as did Joseph and Mary,
Ya could say for a couple of months our life was gettin' a little hairy.
It was the first part of November and old man Whipple decided to sell all of his cattle,
He said the I'd have to find a new place to ride my slick forked saddle.
On top of all this he said we had a month to get out of the place we was callin' home,
So for a couple of weeks out lookin' for a new job and a place to live I did roam.
I applied for a dozen or so jobs that would support out little family,
Then I got what ya could call a job interview with the Mustang Association out to Barclay.
They needed someone to feed the horses through the winter season,
And I told them that not to hire me they didn't have no good reason.
So we packed up our belongings and loaded up a couple of outfits,
And we moved out to Barclay and since then life's been anything but the pits.
An easier job I couldn't have found,
All's I'm doin' now is throwin' hay on the snow-covered ground.
Porter now has a train that comes by the house every other hour,
And can ya believe that out here in the sticks we have runnin' water and power.
Yeah, its like I'm retired and still makin' a decent wage,
And our family couldn't be happier out here amongst the pines and the sage.

Christmas

2008-12-27T18:08:00.000-08:00

It's becoming an unintentional family tradition to wait until there's at least a foot of snow on the ground before we go out to cut a christmas tree.
