Spring 2014 updates

Obviously we have been busy as I havn't posted since Emmett was born. We are busy irrigating right now and making the most of the nice days when the wind doesn't blow.

Autumn- Is playing soccer. Half the time she just flutters around like a lost butterfly but it is cute and she is learning. She is my big helper still. We like to water our bulbs we planted together and soon it will be our garden. She talks our ears off most of the time too. This summer she will be doing some swimming lessons. She is quite the fish so I hope its comes easier to her than soccer hee hee.

Hunter-Thinks he is superman/hulk/batman. He is talking better now and has an actual vocabulary. I was worried he wouldn't speak at all but he is smart and is not being lazy about sounding out his words. He is half way potty trained and now that its warmer out and clean up is easier I bet (hope) he is potty trained by his 3rd birthday. He tags a long with daddy as much as he can.

Emmett- Is 7 months old. Where did the time go??? I am so sad my baby does not like to sit still anymore. He is army crawling. Eating solids. And he has moved out of our room and into big sisters. He has cut his two bottom teeth as well and he likes to bite :( ouch!

Myself-I have taken a job at Splash Land as a manager staring the end of May. I will be doing front desk, concessions, book keeping and life guarding. So it will be a busy summer. I am striving for little hours so I can be with my children as much as possible. Although it will be good for Jonathan to take them some more. I am looking forward to getting some me time and exercising in the water. I just hope I can be the mother and wife I need to be while holding a job.

Jonathan- Busy busy busy as always! Harrowing, irrigating, moving cows, tagging babies. I think we will all be happy when the cows go to the mountains. He has mountain fever. But his church meetings keep him on his toes. But he is working hard to make time for his family and we love him for his strength and endurance and keeping us all together.

The addition to the house is amazing! We love love love all the space! Jonathan has his own office which spares us all the phone talking he has to do. The mud room has by far been my favorite part of the addition. No more dirty boots in my kitchen. No more gloves. Drenching bags. Calf pills....All in the mudroom now and its amazing :)

Recently we also got chickens! We got over a dozen chicks. Then a month later got another 12. We only had two die. One had a slipped tendon and had to be culled and the other was a day old chick that we have no idea why it died. We kept the chicks inside til they were 4 weeks old (another amazing thing about our mudroom, we had room for our chicks to get their feathers) Jonathan built them an amazing coop and now I am obsessed with them. More like I just really like chickens right now. They are funny creatures. I hope the foxes do not find them.
Soon we are getting pigs. And we are also getting a new puppy. She will be our inside dog since we didn't have much luck with our german shorthair we had. It really will be a busy summer. Anyways, that is our updates. I will put up pictures next time I post.
