Hot Springs

So I've been thinking a lot lately about the basic knowledge that I grew up knowing. Like how baby animals get here, where milk comes from, the fact that it takes eleven shearers to shear 2500 sheep in two days. Most people don't even know this, which I find very interesting since I've known it my whole life. It makes me wonder what the big city kids learn has they are growing up, cause I bet you its much different then what us country bumpkins know.


Thinking of this it reminds me of a experiance I had in college. My old roomates and some people from their ward were going to head to the hot springs and invited me to come along. So I agreed I had nothing else to do, but I've never been to a hot springs, we don't have many out here in good ole Vernal, so I asked well is there a place to change or do we have to change here? They're like of course you can change there. So in my mind I'm figuring we are heading up the mountain, so some secluded hot spring, were all the kids go party at, and that there's probably an old outhouse or shed there that we can change in right.

So we head out of Logan towards Tremonton and I keep figuring we are going to turn off somewhere and head up into the hills, but no we drive through the hills, and on towards Tremonton and go to a fancy resort.


I was shocked to say the least, made me feel very small town, has you can imagine. Thank heavens one of the other boys that went with us seemed shocked too or at least he pretened to be I'm not sure. Everyone else was like shocked that I would think we would go to some random place in the middle of no-where. Haha what a great memory and eye opening experience for me at the age of nineteen!

Re-Vamp

I'm going with a different approach to my whole blog writing and we'll see if it turns out better. Hopefully I can get into a better habit and do better at keeping everybody updated with my life.

Lately I've been busy being a momma to two girls. Miss D keeps me running from sun up to sun down and sometimes through the night. My most used phrase lately is 'D don't do that!' Oh exciting someday the discipling may take affect right? She sure keeps me wore out.

I've been busy trying to get my quilt done for K's mom and dad. I decided after all the teasing that his dad gives me about never receiving a quilt from his daughter or daughter in laws, I'd make them one (plus it gives me a good excuse to try out a new pattern). So I'm making one for them its going to be an anniversary gift...and the anniversay date passed me by, but I'm almost done, I just need to get it binded, and take a picture of it! But that will be another hurdle seeing how I've misplaced my camera or lost it or it walked away and went to another home, I don't know, so hopefully I can find it again and soon. Also talking about quilts I have a few more patterns that I want to try out so bad, but I can find the justification in doing them...blah so I guess they will have to wait and be put on hold.

My Garden is doing good, well considering I only got half of it planted the other day :) and I have to wait a bit longer to plant the rest. I've been waiting all winter to get out of this house and get my hands dirty. Same with D, only I think she is much more help then I need right now, which goes back to my most used phrase :).

Update!!

Hey everyone, just thought I would update you in our lives and get some new pics up here since those are always fun to look at. We are living in our trailer now, of course somethings are still rednecked but oh well I LOVE IT! We are all doing great. Daisy loves the outdoors and the dog. She also loves it when her dad is home so she doesn't have to hang out with mom all day, dad is so much more fun. Our little one in the oven is doing great growing and staying strong so that is good news and it still looks like christmas day. Nothing really new in our lives. Hope everyone else is healthy happy and safe.

Our House

Lunch Induced slumber

Riding the wild bronco!

Reading Old Macdonald her favorite book

CHEESE!

Turned my back for only a minute....

Here is what Daisy has done today. She found the dirt in the potted plant, uprooted the plant and played in the dirt all at grandmas house! But you can scold that innocent smile that says "Look mom at what I did! I did a good job huh?"

Daisy Swims

Heres some pictures of Daisy swimming, which she would do all the time if I let her :)

Catching up

Geez I'm not very good at keeping this updated, but I will place that blame gladly on the fact that I have no internet at my new home, therfore I just come over to a computer once or twice a week and then I usually have little miss muffett wanting to help me. Right now she is asleep, so I will try and quickly up date everyone.

We have moved into our trailer HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! We love it, still living like rednecks, but I don't care, after three years of waiting it is finally here!

Daisy is a growing girl, and she spends her day, talking, climbing, running, and of course playing with the dog. She loves her new room too, and for having never slept in her own room for fourteen months, she is doing very good and sleeps the whole night through. I sigh with relief, I thought it was going to be a huge struggle.

And the other exciting news, we are expecting another little girl, due Christmas day!!! So excited, although I'm nervous, how do you deal with a newborn again??? Anyways hopes all is going well elsewhere, and I'll try to keep this caught up instead of five monthsapart :)

Catcing Up On Our Life

Hey sorry its been so long since I've updated anything. The computer I used to connect to the internet hit a brick wall and gave up working and month or so back. But I'm back online now Ya!!

Daisy- Is ten and half months old today. Has two teeth, and four more just under the gums, but they are being very stupporn in coming in, which has made the past weeks kinda miserable. She is a cruiseing machine and will walk around everything. She also has discovered she can manuver the stairs great and goes up and down up and down up and down, which in turns makes me not get anything done because I'm always watching her making sure she doesn't fall. She also is a little talk talk talker although we don't understand anything beyond mamma, na-ma (grandma) and dada, but she sure knows what she is saying. In this picture we are helping to preg test the milk cows out at my mom and dads place.

Koda- Is still working at his job Thank heavens and is busy with all of the farm stuff, getting our house put in etc. He is also studying to be a gunsmith, which he is really enjoying and is learning a lot from. The picture above is at my grandparents fiftieth wedding annivarsy in Richfield UT.

Me- I'm just trying to get my daily things done with my little helper aka Daisy. I work for the NASS department of the USDA and am a survey taker. I know one of those pain in the butt kind of people. But its a good job that I can take Daisy with me and I set my own hours, also its in my field of study. Although I'm now looking at becoming a Certified Finacial Planner, for I think I would like to start my own financial planning/advising business. The picture above was taken in Nov 2008

We are just haning out here in our own little world doing our own little thing, and are glad that we have each other, the gospel, and our families and friends in our life.
