Update on "Chicken Coop"!!!

Here is an update on the "Coop"!!! The outside is done...YAH!!!! Now for the inside...

Here is the back...with an addition and you can see the other addition on the very end of the left side of the picture. That will be the laundry room!!! This one will be just an entry way for the furnace room!! Trav says manly so we didn't have a door facing north towards all the storms!!!

Here is a picture of the kids doors, and our room. The walls are slowly coming together!! YEAH!!!

Just another shot! The kids room and the family room and then our room with the door that hopefully in the future will have a deck out of it!!!

We defiantly see a dent in the long process!!! YEAH!!!!

Halloween!!!

Our little munchkins for Halloween!!! We had a fairy/butterfly/not sure...we had a giraffe and we had a bumblebee!!! We were in Wyoming and had a blast with my family and their ward.

My baby turned 3!!!

I can't believe my baby girl turned 3!!! I am amazed at the time that has flown by!!! It really makes me sad!! But she has been such an amazing part of our family! She defiantly has turned into quite the little girl (has to do everything herself) !!! Instead of having terrible 2's , it is terrible 3's for her!! She keeps us on our toes, but we wouldn't have it any other way!!! We love you Katie so much!!! Here are a few pics from her birthday!!! Defiantly not all her gifts but just a few to show you!!! She was pretty excited. I did make her cakes...not sure I want to do that again...but I probably will!!!

So I think I really suck at blogging!!!

First of all I suck at this game!!! I am horrible lately about blogging!!! I love it and hate it at the same time!! Love to look at others but I defiantly suck at my own!!!
So first of all we added a little munchkin to the crew!! He is 1 and we are currently doing foster care, that maybe will turn into guardianship later. We shall see. It has defiantly been an adjustment but I think it is going very well now!!! Aren't they cute!!!

Our "Chicken Coop" House

For all those wondering about our "Chicken Coop" house.....here we go. Our house will be on the right side as you are looking at it. The front of the coop will be for our small car and a four wheeler.

Alright there will be a bathroom in the very back where you can see the pipe. The wall will be right at the front of the pipe. Then in front of the bathroom will be a living room.

Ok so this is a shot of the "kitchen" where the doors are.

And this is the upstairs!! We will have two rooms and a smaller family room up here...maybe a little nursery if we ever need it!!! We will make closets and shelves with the ceiling the way it is.

Caught Up!!!

So now that I "think" I am caught up..... I thought I would let you know that we are slowly settling into the ranch life, the kids love being able to be outside constantly...oh wait..it has been raining nonstop since we got here.....but of course the once in a while is better then nothing, right???Also they have grandma and grandpa wrapped around their little fingers. I am LOVING my job as a CNA at the Health Center here. The kids are growing like weeds and Trav is working back in the oil field part time, but when he is here on the ranch working....which I don't think sitting on a tractor and getting a little dirt on you is really work..what do you think??? But he loves it and I am glad!! Life is awesome and I love it!! So grateful for my family, the gospel in my life and a Heavenly Father that loves me.
I truly miss my friends and family in Wyoming but it is just a car drive away and in about a month I will come and see you!!! I CANT wait!!! Miss and LOVE all of you!!!

Thanks for listening and looking!!!

Just for FUN!!

Just to prove to me I guess, that rain is a good thing!!! Aren't they pretty!!!

Katie....Again???

This is the latest and greatest of Katie....

She was jumping on her bed and of course I told her a hundred times not too!! This wound picture is after a few days that it happened!! . It was a lot worse and tons and tons of blood!! Now today it looks like it never happened.

Special Olympics!!

While we were in Riverton moving the rest of our "CRAP" we were able to go and watch Andrew (my brother) in Special Olympics in Basketball and Swimming. His team did great and won. I didn't get any pics of him swimming because if any of you have tried before, unless you are an inch from them, it doesn't work very well. Glad we did get some pictures of Basketball though! It was great watching him. It was also great that my dad was able to give all of the athletes their medals!!

He is the middle one in this picture!!

Last one here...Andrew and Dad hugging!!

Riverton Team!!!

Andrew and his teammates with their medals!!! 4 on 4 basketball

Also while we were there. Payson was able to meet a cousin of his. I won't go into the story but he is my cousins son that a friend has. My cousin, Shasta, passed away 4 years ago. Payson and him had a great time at the Basketball game and didn't want to go home! Glad they were able to see each other. It is so funny, I think they look so much alike and so does everyone else....What do you think??

Andrew doin some great moves!!! Love ya Bro!!! Great Job!!!

Andrew was just on the news in Casper also for State!! It was great. It is on my facebook page if you want to watch!!! Pretty cool!!!

Slacker Much???

So I have been a total slacker!!! I miss blogging but with moving and Easter and the Ranch I have been a really BIG SLACKER!!!! Sorry for the ones that follow me or maybe you don't really care!!! LOL So I will go from lets see....Before Easter and then onto now!!! WOW!!!
Ok..well for some reason my computer is being really dumb so things are going to be out of order. But nonetheless it was a lot of fun!!!
Here Katie is "helping" make an angel food cake!!!

Easter fun...lots and lots of candy!!!

Aren't these little bird nests cute!! Awesome idea for kids!!!

Ok to explain these next 3 pictures. We are not at all racist but the girls were being funny and decided they would be midgets!!! Oh my gosh!!! It was so dang funny!! Don't they look it too!!!

Sad for Some, Good for Others!!

Well here is our latest news.....We are MOVING to Montana!!! Very sad for some, and very good for others. We are really going to miss our little branch in Wyoming and move to a smaller branch (that is very excited) in Montana!!! We are going to very much miss our friends and family that we have gotten really close too!!! I have very mixed fillings but I know this is what our family is suppose to be doing! I have made some really good friends and every time is I do, the next thing I know is we are moving!!! My family will be farther away and so will my friends but I know that we will keep in contact (or we better anyway) and they better just come and visit us!! It isn't that far away (only 7 hrs)!!! So we hope to be seeing all of you come and visit soon and of course we will be that way so we will have to get together!!! Just know that I love you tons and you are always in my thoughts!!! LUV YA

UPDATE TIME!!!!

Well lets see...we actually don't have a lot going on!!! But here is what is kinda new!! We did get a new puppy about 3 weeks ago, the kids are loving her!! Her name is Jessie (the cowgirl off of Toy Story) but I am not fond of the name so she is still "puppy" to me!! I started CNA classes 2 weeks ago and I am loving them so far!! While taking these CNA classes we are staying with Travs parents, at the ranch! I think the kids are loving it more then me!! The reason being is for the snow!! Back home, it was all gone and here they think it is a "Winter Wonderland"!! Well this past week it has been pretty nice so the snow has been melting, so it is making lakes at the ranch!!

Yes the pictures are out of order but I am having a hard time putting them in order. But we are having fun!!!

There are 11 of us in the class. The biggest class they have had in a very long time!! It is lots of fun, but I forgot how fun it is to have homework and study!!! NOT!! Ok still loving the class though!! Tons to learn in such a short amount of time!!
