6 months pregnant

Well just to keep you all updated, so you all know how big I'm getting :). This is me six months along, only three left to go :)

Remembering a Great Friend...

Sadly Missed, Always Remembered, Forever Loved

I'm sure God has a ranch in Heaven
A place for cowboys to call home
With dusty trails and deep passes
Where cows and horses freely roam

I picture you up on a ledge
Gazing at the draws below
Leaning forward with your hat pulled way down low

I can 'bout hear the leather creaking

When your gelding switches feet
Your spurs softly jingle in the wind
Your rope's tied on and coiled neat
There is contentment on your face

You're happy, but I can't pretend,
Though I'm glad you've made God's journey,
That I can truly comprehend

In my earthly ways I question
The reasons God took you away
I guess the timing was exactly right
To enter Heaven on that day

The only comfort I have found
That puts my grief to rest
Is that God only takes the top hands
Because His crew's the very best

We still cry and we sure miss you
And all the things that might have been
But God needed one more cowboy
And He felt you'd fit right in

So He sent down all His ranch hands
An Pony stood at their side
Then he softly whispered to you
"Saddle up Justin Its time to ride"

Going To Feed

Our News

Hey ya'll...Well I guess its time to tell the world our big secret, since it is very obvious anyways, we are pregnant!!! And we are very excited about it. Our baby is due May 22nd. So hopefully I'll be graduated and moved home by the time she decides to come. Yes...we are having a girl. We are excited about that, even though Koda really wanted his boy first, I keep telling him that I turned out fine being the oldest in my family so our little girl will too...I mean she has him for a dad. :) Anyways, here's the difference from pre-pregnancy to my five month pregnancy belly.

Life up to now

Hey everybody. As you all know Koda and I started our new life together July 29, 2006. So as of today we have been married for a year and almost six months. And it has been a great year and six months. I continued my education in Logan in hopes of finishing someday and it looks as if that day is in site, May 3rd 2008. We can't wait for it to get here, the faster the better. Koda is ready for his crazy wife to move home and stay home instead of jumping from place to place.



Koda is still working for Bill Jr's Rathole Drilling which is actually Propetro now since Bill Jr's was bought out in Feb '07. He is always at work and never gets any rest with the hectic schedule he keeps. But being a rancher at heart, he comes home every night after working a 14 hour day to check his cows and his sisters horses, feed our dog, and fix anything that might need fixing.




The only new addition to our family of two is a hyper-jentic dog, Annabelle. She is a border-collie with all the energy in the world to spare. We got her in July and she is now 7 months old. She is really smart and possess a lot of instinct for herding animals (sheep, cows, goats, whatever moves). We really enjoy here and are excited to put her to work.








We are still living in our 27' mansion (our camper) and are getting ready for something bigger, but not ready to take that leap, so for now we will stay where we are at, and slowly inch towards the idea of having an actual house someday.
