The Bush Family

The start of 2012

2012-02-04T08:43:00.001-08:00

These First three pictures are of the last of 2011 at Katie's Reception. This is of Robert with Landon or Logan, that is bad of me but I can't remember his name granted Ethan has like 7 brothers so it is hard to keep track. Katie post a comment and tell me which one he is please. :)

Kayla found someones left overs at the reception.

She was very happy about it!

These are all from 2012 now. This is the best picture i could get of all three kids after Wyatt's blessing. Not the greatest.

Kayla sleeping.

She reminds me of Katherine. Hee hee what do you think?

My favorite position especially when he is sleeping on me it is so cute.

Matt's been playing ball for the city of Alamosa. He has been enjoying it very much they have one last game then it is the tournament. They have been able to win one game so far. I was really sick that day so i was sad that i couldn't be there.

More of Kayla's crazy new hair duos. I'm starting to enjoy that she has long hair i can do so much with it. lots of fun I'm sure she hates it though.

one day after i took her hair out.

This is Wyatt's big smile the best i could get so far. It's pretty cute if i do say so.

Another of his many expressions.

We had the missionaries over and Robert gave Kayla syrup only syrup. She was a mess! Oh and the Elder on her left in the blue reminds me of Dan Perry very much its very funny sometimes and he has no idea why hee hee.

This is how i did Kayla's hair today. I was surprised that it worked. We'll see how long it last.

Wyatt had his two month appt Monday and the doctor said he is looking and doing great. He weighs 10 lbs exactly and is 22 inches long. about the 25th in both percentiles. He got three shots poor kids and an oral one that he did really well with. He's just getting bigger and bigger.

Catch up Aug to Dec.

2012-01-20T19:57:00.000-08:00

Here are a ton of Pictures that are from Aug to the end of the Year. Its like a time machine starting with Dec last pictures are from Aug. Hope you enjoy them.

Matt's Sister Katie got married after Christmas. This was the only picture we got at the temple. We had Aunt Jennie take the picture and I forgot to change my camera setting from fluorescent to outdoor, so it is a little dark I tried to lighten it up as best I could with our computer but this is the best I got.

This was our Christmas. This picture was also taken before Matt was able to get my Santa gift out of the Car. He got me a bernina sewing machine. It has been really nice even though I haven't been able to make to many things with it. I will have to get a picture of the blanket I made.

This is the little man. Sleeping in my bed. He sure is getting bigger. He has an appt. this Monday so we will be able to see how much he has grown the last two months.

Here's Kayla in Dad's boot. I tired to get it turned around but it wasn't working. This is also one of my new favorite hair duos. I think next year we will paint her green and do her hair this way and she can be sherk.

Trying to get a good shot of her hair but Robert wanted in on the action and they decided to show their tongues.

Kayla's snow suit. She doesn't like to be out for very long so it is just a fleece jump suit, but she is the cutest thing in it.

Here's my three little kids. How did this happen. I still can't believe that I have three Children.

Wyatt, cute little man.

best i could get of our Christmas tree. Towards Christmas it keep looking different because I keep trimming it back to get a better look at the TV or to fit presents.

Brand new baby. Wyatt Earl Bush born 11/23/11, 6lbs 6oz.

best picture of both kids at Halloween. Kayla the lady bug and Robert the Good cowboy. Matt was the bad cowboy.

Eating lunch together. Crazy kids.

Robert's First look at his Birthday Cake. I think we did a good job picking it out with this face. :)

Swimming in Albuquerque.

Well a lot happen in the last of the year. We were able to go to the temple and take the kids swimming. Matt went hunting and harvested a Bull elk.

Robert turned Three how and when that was able to happen is crazy to me. We were also able to get him potty trained. That has been nice, now we just have to work on where we go potty. At least he doesn't go in his pants but he does have a habit after church to go in the parking lot. He also loves to go in the snow. All he wanted for Christmas was a tractor and that is just what Santa brought. He was and still is in Heaven he wants to take it everywhere.

Kayla turned 18 Months right at Wyatt's 2 week appt. She keeps getting bigger and stays the cutest little girl. She is learning more and more words and how to get into everything. Not to mention she is the worst with poopie diapers. No matter what I put her in she gets it everywhere. She also goes poo and pee on the potty so I'm thinking she may be able to potty train sometime soon which will be nice. She got some babies for Christmas which she loves and takes everywhere. She also got a toothbrush that Robert promptly used to clean the toilet so now she needs a new one. We also have been able to move both her and Robert into boosters which has been nice and helpful in getting more room in our car.

Wyatt was born healthy and Happy which is wonderful and I would say he is the best of the tree kids as a baby so far. I keep waiting for the boom to drop and something to happen to him because hes been so good. He's filling out and getting bigger. He just now is starting to learn how to smile. He is the cutest little thing as well. Don't know where he got his curly hair but I love it.

Matt was Changed from the Young Men's President in our ward to the Branch Mission leader. It has been a big change and is even more busy then he used to be. His shop this year has done well we didn't get as many animals in but I believe it was the Lord looking out for us because of how busy he is now It will help to not have so many people calling demanding their animals. He also started playing in a city basketball league. He has loved playing even though they have not won any of their games. We keep telling him it is part of the strategy lose all the games then win the tournament. I do hope they can at least win one game.

I have been changed from a teacher in the Relief Society to the Second Counselor in the Primary Presidency. I have also been adjusting to Three children and being a good wife. I've been trying to go to as many of Matt's games as possible not to mention they want me to be able to help Matt with the missionary work in the branch and do my other callings. We have been busy. Now to try and get everything we need to and get used to the busy life. Hopefully this year will be and good and blessed as last.

Hope everyone is good and hope the best for you all. Miss you tons.

Just venting

2011-08-30T12:55:00.000-07:00

Well you don't have to read this post if you don't want to, However I have decided to vent a little.

I love my husband and I really had no problem with him going hunting this week until now. I can't sleep at night because I'm by myself and especially last night when the cat wouldn't leave the dog alone. I mean come on if you don't like him to play with you go away don't keep coming back for more. I went out at 11 last night and put her in the chicken coop and this morning I went and got her out and she was on her death bed. Nothing new she has done it before. However this time she decided to die under the front step which means that I will have a rotten animal there all week till Matt gets home. Luckily Robert is in the Mountains this week so he didn't get to see her today while she was all sick.

Makes me laugh too that the picture of Robert's horny toad is no longer with us. Maybe he is but we haven't seen him since Matt was the one to last put him back outside after Robert brought him in. He didn't put him back where we usually do so now he is gone too. Robert just looks and Matt now and says, "Naughty Daddy, you killed my horny toad." I think he is still to young to be very attached to them but it is still sad.

Next year we will have to plan better because this is so dumb. I guess it may just be me venting because I'm here alone and have to deal with it until Matt gets back. Like I said I had no problem with him leaving until this happened. So maybe I am just in the moment and need to realize that I am blessed. I am able to have a girls week with Kayla, get my house clean and not have it ruined by Robert and surprisingly Matt makes quite a mess too. I can have a relaxing week with just Kayla and me. I will just not go outside. To bad I have to Water the Pumpkin and feed and water the dog.

Well that was my venting. Maybe I'll be better now and calm enough to go on from this moment. because I vented about it here. Wish me luck. :)

Happenings for the past Month

2011-07-27T10:31:00.000-07:00

Not the best Picture, but this is our new addition. This is Kitty or as Kayla says puppy. I hope it will be a good mouser its mom is so I guess we will just have to see. She doesn't quite know what to think of the kids. She is good with them but would prefer to be away from them. I've been the one feeding and playing with her so now when I go out side I have a little follower. She makes having to cut the grass with scissors a lot funnier. She is getting better everyday though which is good we just have to keep her out of the car. Matt almost killed her yesterday because she was hiding in the shade under and in the engine she got out but some of her hair did not she is good though just traumatized.

This is our Horny toad. Matt caught his mother last year and she had him here. I don't know if you remember the little horny toad that only fit on my thumb But this is him all grown up. He survived the winter. Don't know how he did cause it was cold but here he is. Kayla even likes to hold him we just have to watch her because she love to squeeze anything that she thinks is cute and cuddly.

This was at the pioneer day celebration they had down here. It was so hot that I kept wetting down her hair show it could cool her down. Made her quite the cutie. This was pretty much the only picture I got because right after this one of the trucks in the parade sprayed us all and they got my camera really good so i put it away to dry and hopefully not ruin it.

This was Kayla's idea of lots of fun. She would climb up on her walker stick her head in the seat then she would say stuck stuck. It was pretty cute.

Gotta love her and her Cheeto puffs.

This was part of our trip to Washington. We got our most recent Family photo while we waited for the firework show.

Robert and Grandpa looking for the trail head to get to the little park we went to to see the fireworks.

At the Steilacoom parade on the fourth. It was way hot luckily Mom and Dad have friends that have this nice shady place in front of their yard.

Robert waiting to get the candy they threw.

They were little grumpy pants but they were exhausted so we all snuggle together. We were sleeping good time Daddy came in so right now I'm fake sleeping cause I thought a picture would be cute. This is how we looked just before he came in so its not really cheating.

We got to go to the beach and Grandma was nice enough to watch Kayla while I went down to get some pictures of Robert and Matt. I think she liked it.

Hunting Crabs. Robert thought they were cool as long as he didn't have to hold them in the back Matt is showing Robert how they are to be held he held the little thing for two seconds then got freaked out. He would watch them from a distance though and he love the worms and little fishes that we found in the tiny pool of water.

Worms.

We also went to the zoo. I think Robert could have stayed in front of the Sharks all day he loved them. Kayla thought they were pretty cool to which was fun.

She loved to watch the fish. Oh and her outfit does not match because it was a little breezy and cold in the morning when we were there so she got to be mismatched.

fish

Robert wouldn't stand a chance against a polar bear. He was tiny compared.

Oh and the peacock they have just wondering around the zoo. Matt and Robert wanted to chase it but I wouldn't let them.

We had a great Time up in Washington. It was a much needed vacation for both Matt and I. The kids enjoyed it too. I wish we lived closer so it didn't take to long to get to see my parents every year. Hopefully we can continue to have some more great times before the summer is up. I am ready for the Fall though so that its not so hot but at the same time is needs to be a long time coming but I know it will be here before I'm ready because This baby only has to cook another 18-19 weeks and its here. We just need to find a name for him though.

4 years and counting :)

2011-06-15T09:30:00.000-07:00

4 Years ago today I Married this man! We have had our ups and downs, But we will continue to love and help each other grow. This man is wonderful even if i do tend to have a lot of negative to say. I guess that is the way people are who wants to talk about the positive right. I do love this man and will continue to love him to the rest of eternity! He is way more positive then negative. He works so hard to keep this family going. I am grateful for him and all he does for me and my children! I love you honey!

We have been able to welcome this little guy in September of 2008. Wish he was this easy again.

Now he is my crazy almost three year old. Where has the time gone! It's like they say blink and the time is gone.

We have welcomed this little beauty in June of 2010. She is still pretty easy and I love her to death girls really do get away with more.

Now she is my little one year old. She is so content to sit next to you and for the most part play by herself. This has been a blessing during the last little bit because I can carrel her right next to me and she will play all day unless she needs feed or changed.

Also if you look close you will see a tiny bulge in my tummy where we will hopefully be welcoming a new little one sometime close to December 5th. Crazy what 4 years can bring.

I love my husband and I love my children. I'm grateful that Matt and I choose to marry and that we are here where we are now even though some days can get to me. Overall it has been one of the greatest blessing in my life.

Kaylas Birthday party and more.

2011-06-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

This is the chocolate cake that I made because we had so many people we needed two cakes. Everyone like chocolate so I made that kind for them and a white for kayla because i didn't want her so hipped up on chocolate.

Her cake. It was a white cake and frosted with chocolate.

Food Another of her favorite things.

Dress she can wear whenever.

Sippies so we can start to wean from the bottle.

Diapers!! :) These are Roberts, we were going to get both kids some but couldn't afford to and Robert had the greater need so we said well she'll get some soon so she can open his.

Present form Brother. She loves cheeto puffs.

Present for Grandma and Grandpa and family.

Present form Aunt Lucy and family.

Present form Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Brittani and family.

Present for Uncle Robert. She really liked them.

this stuff is yummy!

messy baby.

Kayla eating her cake getting evey last goodie she could.

This was a sunset we had a couple nights ago. We had been getting alot of smoke for some wildfires in Arizona and some in the state so it made this one really pretty this is the close up. the one above is the far away shot.

We went to the pond on Matt's parents place for Memorial day and had a picnic BBQ. I forgot my camera so we didn't get any there but we were able to go fishing Robert and I caught our first fishes. Then we roasted Hot dogs and had chips and pop. A lot of Matts family was able to make it too so it was a really fun night. On the way home the kids fell asleep. Robert was asleep on the door and Kayla on him. I told matt to run in the house and get the camera so we could get a picture but when he got back they woke up, so imagine happy sleeping kids and that is what this picture was supposed to be.

Robert had to get in on the action the picture below is of kayla in the tire and Robert had to get a picture just like her too. He would at least run or should I say crawl around the whole tire inside chasing "bugs"

It was nicer in the tire. It was a pretty hot day out side.

Playing in the Tire daddy brought for them. Oh and that piece of twine was Roberts rope that he was catching imaginary Calves with.

This was Kayla's first attempted to get out of her Walker she is a pro now but i had to get a close up pf her foot it was really cute and she didn't cry she was just confused why she couldn't get out more.

Big brother went swimming in the little ditch behind our house. It was kinda windy so he didn't stay to long.

I just think it is so cute to watch her eat a bottle. She throws her head back and chugs.

2011-04-28T11:59:00.001-07:00

Easter!! I forgot to get Kayla her own basket and when I remembered I was to sick to do anything about it. Oh well I don't think she noticed much but she loved her big Pink bunny. We have to watch out though or Robert will steal it. He got a ball, bucket and shovel, Chalk in the shape of Easter eggs, and the movie Tangled. They loved getting the eggs. Daddy had to get the candy and forgot to get the eggs covered in foil so i had to throw Large Robbin Eggs on the floor and some plastic ones that Kayla could get. She however wanted the candy eggs but they were too big for her mouth. I have a video of her trying to eat one while Matt fishes it out of her mouth and she is growling at him. I can't get my videos on my computer right now so it will have to wait. Other than that I believe they loved it.

We went swimming at Hooper the hot springs they have here. Robert looks cold in this picture but the pool water was 98 degrees. Trust me he was warm he just hates to get his face in the water. He's kind of a scaredy cat when it comes to getting his head in the water. Unlike his cousin She could care less and love the water face it in or not. Really funny thing about this picture is that Last year when we went to the pool he couldn't stand in this kiddy pool by himself. The water went about up to his nose. He has grown like a weed this last year.

Kayla loves her daddy. I wasn't feeling to well when everyone first got in so I waited a little bit. Kayla got to go with her daddy and loved it. She is much worse than her brother though she doesn't like to be anywhere in the water unless she is in your arms with a death grip around your neck. If shes there then she likes it. You try and move her out just a little and she screams. She loves her bath water though i think she know she has more control in the tub.

Dying Easter eggs. Robert had lots of fun. we didn't have anything to make then any funnier then just one color so we got a lot of plain colored eggs.

Kayla just wanted to drink the vinegar solution and the eggs. I think they enjoyed themselves though.

After work one day Matt took our Field Studies student out to learn how to shoot. I wouldn't let Robert out the back door so he could go over to them so while I was taking pictures out the back door he ran to the front door got his shoes on and ran around the house to them. When Matt told him to get back in the house he ran all the way across our back yard area to the Tractors and was trying to start it. Naughty boy!

Watching Harry Potter with dad. Can you guess which one it is?? Any who just a fun time with dad. I had just feed Kayla that is why she is naked.

I so wish I had been paying better attention to were I had the camera. This is my new favorite picture of Kayla and the couch.

Just another cute pic of her. She was trying to eat her bottle but wanted to stand at the same time. crazy baby.

Lets see not much else has been happening here. Mostly I have been sitting in my house sick. This baby has me floored! I wasn't really sick with Robert. I was just a little with Kayla. But I have been sick for the last 4 weeks all day long with short not sick periods here and there. I'm almost 9 weeks so hopefully I will start to feel better. I have another Doctors appt on the 11 so well see what all they find out. I have already had one appt. However you can't really find anything out at 6 weeks so I basically just went to fill out all the paper work and have them tell that I was pregnant. This next appt. they will draw blood, and hopefully we will get to hear the heart beat. Well other than that not much has happened. Hopefully our next post will have more that happened.

Thoughts

2011-04-08T19:20:00.000-07:00

I have so many thoughts that I am sitting here just wondering where to start. I guess I'll start with whats happening right now in my life. This weekend, Friday and Saturday, I am sitting at home alone with my two kids wondering what to do with myself. I have put my children to bed and now sit alone typing this because I don't want to go to sleep yet. I love my children to death they are so wonderful and yet they can be devils. Today they were good but they are cranky because they are sick. I am expecting the next one in december and wonder how my sisters have all their kids and are able to tire them out so that they sleep at night. I look at Katherines pictures of her how and wish I was as creative as she was that I would have that to put pictures of the ABC's and Colors up for Robert. I look at Trisa and think how the heck does she do all that she does referbishing furniture for her home. Also building this to take the space up in closets. I am quite impressed. Michelle what can I say you have three boys and I have no idea how you have not gone crazy! I have one and he is nuts, I don't know what would happen if I had three. I have told Matt the it was a good thing Kayla was a girl because we would most likely only have had the two. I guess with all that I am trying to say is how do you guys think of what you do and still have time for yourselves? I think most of this is my ramblings and it doesn't help that I am hormonal and lonely because my husband is gone. Sometimes I wish you were all closer so that I could go somewhere with you and say Honey you've got the kids. I am very greatful to my In Laws who are there for me when I do need a break! All of you are there to help with the kids and talk to when I need adult talk. I am greatful even if sometimes I leave and it looks like I Hate life. Well thats what Matt say I look like when I leave when I am pregnant. I'm just tired ready to go home I do look forward to coming down and visiting. I have other thoughts that keep pressing on me but for the life of me I cannot find how to put them into words. I guess I'll end there and maybe sometime later ramble about something eles. I guess the man thing with tonights post is that I am greatful for everyone in my life being lonely is no fun and I hope that the Hormonal ramblings of Jennifer didn't put you off. Love you all!!

This is a Picture of the Albuquerque Temple. I am pleased to say that Matt and I finally attended a Endowment Session. We have been here many times for the youth baptisms but were finally able to find a day and go. It was a good day and much needed. Matt's parents and family watched the kids while we went. I do have to say that I am going to go see a doctor because traveling and eating on long distances really messes with my digestive system. That was the only down side to the day. Matt and I will just have to tell our selfs that no time is perfect and we will just have to set a day and no matter what we are going to go. That is what we did this time and We had a blast! Matt especially loved it when I saw a elk sign on the road and said "hey look and elk." He got all excited until he saw the sign. Then I actually saw a Cow elk and almost screamed at him "I just saw and elk a really elk." We had to turn around to find it again because he didn't believe me, he was amazed when we found it again and all I had seen was it's head. Poor Kayla. She was so hungry and tired. Robert went and stole he bottle and she got all sad till he gave it back then she fell back down to this position and slept for a good while. This is the House we built for Robert. It's pretty roomy inside I can stand up all the way when in the middle. We still have some work. I need to put windows and fix the front so you can see the Roberts house better but other that that it is complete. He loves to play in it with Matt. He doesn't quite know what to do with it by himself yet but hes getting there. He would rather play out in the field. I watched Robert put his shoes and jacket on and thought Matt must be outside then I looked over and Matt was in the house. I went outside and this is where I found him. Naughty boy knows not to go outside without us but we still catch him every once and a while. Kayla loves to play on the Futon when it is flat. This was an action shot so she looks said but I promise she was happy. Where did she go? Found her. Its mean I know but she was so darn cute holding on for dear life. I had to get a picture. She has now learned to fall down and I will come in and she will be under the Futon. I have come in a number of times and said where did she go and then I hear her and she is under the futon. She has also learn how to roll off of our bed and the couch. She will catch herself put her hand out tuck her head in then Roll off what ever she is on. I need to catch it on film or something. I love to give her hair a Mohawk. Its was cut this way but then when it dries its all fluffy. Her getting into naughty things. She is worse than her brother. Eating the bread her brother gave her. (yes the floor was clean thank goodness) We can home from Church and Robert was hungry and I guess we didn't feed his fast enough because he walked over to the counter grabbed this bag of bread took a slice for himself and gave one to Kayla the started to eat. Crazy kid. This is what her hair looks like after we take to bows out so cute to see her horns. This is how I came in this morning and found Kayla. She was crying and had both feet between the bars. I had to get the camera and when I came back this is how I found her. She had fallen over and was crying like I had killed her. Well life has been fun the past few weeks mostly last week. We were able to go to the Hot springs they have here and the next day go to Matt's parents pond and go canoeing (sp?). Me being the dummy I an brought the camera swimming but forgot to get it out then left it the next day. I will have to do better! Later in the night after canoeing(sp?) we went to our friends Brandon and Chera and had a much needed blast! I hope they don't mind we stayed till midnight. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Brandon and Chera it was wonderful even if my kids were nuts. Well i better go because i have a sick husband to take care of who knows what he has it seems to be just like the flu i had earlier this year. I hope i don't get it again.

Life at the Bush's

2011-03-01T12:48:00.000-08:00

We love our Daddy! We went down to Matt's parents to help out and so the kids got to ride with dad on the Four Wheeler. Robert had a blast but Makayla just sat there not knowing what to think.

Watching Grandpa and Robert muck out some of the stalls in the barn.

Our new thing with Kayla! She is so cute with bows. I've been trying to give her head a break though because sometimes her hair gets pulled out, but when we go somewhere she gets them and people now know that she is a girl.

Very first bow.

This is how we usually find her in the morning. Peeking out to see who is coming to get her. Today I found her standing. I guess that she will get to add to the teeth marks in the crib. All the ones you see are from Robert.

Coming home from Grandmas.

This is how we like to see Robert, Sleeping! This is also one of his new things he loves to keep his hands in his pockets. Sometimes I have to hold on to his collar because he gets mad if I try to hold his hand into the store.

Playing with the puppies we only have one left. The one that is sniffing Robert is the one we still have. They loved Robert. The would follow him anywhere.

Robert however did not like it sometimes. They liked to get him a little to much. We had to remind him not to his the puppies.

We were at a Basketball game and it was so hot in the gym. They would open the doors and it would just steam up because it was so cold outside and hot inside. Kayla was just in a diaper by the end because she started to get heat rash. Poor thing.

Robert eating Nachos with Aunt Katie.

This was taken while Matt was on night shift. He would work from Midnight to eight in the morning come and get a few hours nap then go to his Taxidermy shop and work until 4 then try to go back to bed. When I would go to the Post office to get the mail I would give her a bottle and lay her with Matt. Robert would come with me. When I got home they would be cuddle up and sleeping. It was cute.

Matt went Ice fishing a little while ago and caught this guy in the first ten min. It was good for him because he works like a mad man. I stayed home because I do not like the cold and would freeze my bum off if I had gone.

Robert playing in my bathroom. At least he new to take his diaper off in the bathroom. We have been trying to potty train him. He does really well. He can go pee and poo on the potty. Now we just have to convince him to tell us that he needs to go. Most of the time we have just taken his diaper off and said time to go pee pee and he will go and sometimes if he sits there long enough he will go poo to. We have tried to tell him that he needs to let us know when he needs to go but he would still rather hide and poo in the corner or under the table.

Robert thought he was being helpful. He was making his Easy Mac. Sometimes this kid acts like we starve him.

Another one of him playing with the puppies in the old Chicken Pen. Its so tiny that we have decided to make him a play house. It is almost complete too. All it need is the roof and to be painted. When its done I will have to post some more pictures.

Playing with Daddy. I tell you these kids love their daddy!

2011-01-29T13:43:00.000-08:00

This is Robert the Day before we took him to the Hospital and he was admitted. You can kind of see that his eye are sunk into his head. Imagine this a lot worse the next day and you see he is one sick little boy. He fell asleep in his bath.

Little Kayla we don't know what she was doing but she sure loved to sit there and lick the leg of the table.

Playing hide a seek with the little ones. This is Robert and cousin Autumn.

More food! She always looks like this when we finish some type of food.

Robert's Idea of taking pictures. I love it because he had no idea what he was doing.

We had some friends over and Makayla got to have some fun. She stood really well for Brandon but was still a little wobbly and our camera is no good so this is the outcome.

Update.

Well we have been busy here. Matt's been working really hard to get the bull elk done for his brother so he can take them to a sportsman show in Pennsylvania. He has also received some other animals in a couple bears and bobcats. I went to help with the bobcats and have discovered that I am allergic. How the heck can that happen when I am just fine with house cats? I love house cats and will pet them up close to my face and have never had a problem. OH well guess i have an excuse not to skin one animal.

I've been busy chasing kids and trying to keep my house clean. I hate cleaning, I can get the house spotless and in one hour is can be destroyed again. Drives me nuts.

Robert was doing good until last Sunday when he started throwing up. It was not a new thing because he had done it three weeks ago and survived it just fine. This time, However was new he couldn't keep anything down so the doctor suggested giving him pedialite one teaspoon ever 15 minutes. she said to not try and feed him all he need was to drink. So we went about giving him as much pedialite and we could and when she called back she said he was not getting better from what she heard us telling her so she wanted to see him again and decide what to do from there. When she walked in she listened to him and look at him a said that she thought it could be diabetes. So we got labs and were told to go home or wait there until the labs came back so we would know if he was to be admitted or not. She called back and said the labs came back normal but that he was very dehydrated. So we brought him back and he was admitted and given lots of IV fluids. we stayed two days and one night and he was looking so much better and acting like himself that we thought it would be good to come home. They did the labs and they were normal and he was hydrated, But the doctor wouldn't let us leave because she thought his heart was beating to fast. I asked what what normal and she said that he was at 120 b/m and normal was 100 or the teens. So really he wasn't that high. I don't know Matt and I talked and thought it would be better at home because they were going to stop the IV and see how he did. We thought that we could do that at home. So we were discharged, but had to come back the next morning for a follow up. She said that she would listen to his heart and see how he was doing. We went and she didn't even listen to his heart. I am so frustrated with her. I wish she would finish her testing so we can see a different doctor. Well she took a urine sample and decided to call the endocrinologist(SP?) because she still thinks he has diabetes. Well we go back Monday and get labs so hopefully they come back negative and this will all be over. On a good note he is home and happy and back to himself so hopefully it will stay that way.

Makayla got to have a good time with Grandma while all this happened. Only problem she has and had during that time bad diarrhea. Fun times I guess for all of us in the Bush household. Hopefully we will not be sick again for the rest of Winter Right? Ok at least let me be healthy it stinks to be sick and and sick ones or worse healthy ones at the same time. Oh well were still kicking right. Hope all is well with everyone.

Gotta love this little girl. She is never happy unless she has food. Most people would think giving a 7 month old a whole bottom bun would cause chocking but she eats it all no problem.

Daddy and son were having fun so mom jumped in on the action.

Cousin love. Autumn is over a year and Kayla ( That what Robert calls her and it stuck) is only about 5 1/2 or 6 months here. Kayla is our Chunky Monkey. (another of her Nicknames)

Kayla loves her brother. They are only 9 pounds difference in weight, she just laughs when Robert rides her.

This is an old picture from last Easter. I tried then to update but it wouldn't let me so I decided to try now and didn't have the heart to delete these when it took so long to get these last two on. This is one of the bucks that Matt had the privilege to mount last year.

This was Robert and I having a lazy day here. I believe that I was Pregnant when we took this picture.

Update:
Lets see the last time I updated my blog was two Christmas's (sp?) ago. A lot has happened.
Lets see after much stress and arguments with BYU-I I completed my Associates degree. All that money was able to go to some good. Robert has been crazy and continues to be. I can't believe how much he can speak. It's nice to be able to ask him what is the matter and him be able to tell me. I don't know how I ever took care of him before, then I look at Makayla and realize it was a lot of trial and error. I have been blessed with two wonderful children I can say that now because they are both asleep. Ask me again in a few hours when Robert is awake and I may not be that nice.

Makayla is growing like a weed. Her personality is coming out more and more everyday. It is amazing to see the family resemblance that both my children have to the rest of the Perry family cousins. Many times I have watched Robert and in the space of five minutes I can see expressions that I have also seen on Michael, Josh, and Mason. Makayla is the same but I do have to say that she resemble Sara the most. We looked through the Perry family calender and many times Matt would say is that Makayla or Sara. By the way the Perry Calender was wonderful one problem I could see with it was the surprise picture of me Pregnant on my Birthday I don't remember sending that one!!?? Just kidding we loved it.

Matt has been working like a mad man at both his day job, Taxidermy shop and as the Young Men's President in our Branch. Poor guy is up a 4 a.m. and asleep at 9:30 p.m. if he's lucky. Hopefully we (noticed I include myself in this) can get everything done in a timely manner this year or get his shop in so that a lot of his time can be better spent. I continue to learn new things that I would have never thought I would ever do. I bet everyone including me would never have seen me slaving away capeing (sp?) and skinning animals. Life is interesting sometimes.

In our branch I am also the Nursery leader. I have been in there for almost two years now and they are trying to get a new leader so I can go back to Relief Society. In the mean time I get to deal with 3 brand new 18 month old's who are stuck to there parents. Matt says he would love to be in Nursery but I would like to see how he handled it when our kids cry in the car for two minutes he has a hard time. They have also just put me in as the Achievement Day Girl leader so if you have any ideas for me they would be greatly appreciated!

Well I think that about sums up everything maybe there is more but I can't remember it right now. Maybe I will later. Hopefully I can post more often this year. Hope everyone is well we miss you all. I have three male puppies to anyone who may want one let me know it would be worth the trip if I get to see you.

Mom Dad don't leave me unattended with the window open. Sad thing was he was not unattended we looked away for like 30 seconds. After Matt took this Picture he left the camera in reach and that got chucked out as well.

Robert's Favorite thing to do. This is why we love Onesies!! Sorry to anyone that this offends but I think its cute because he knows better. He just laughing because its Daddy taking the picture.

I think its fun to wake up in the morning and see all the Frost on things. Yep that's frost not snow.

I want to help look after the Cows too!!

MOM I"M FALLING!!

He sure loves to help daddy!

Ok were going to teach you a new trick.

Ok tip it and get a drink.

That's right doing good!

Too Fast! To Fast.

Just chilling with my animals.

Lets see where to begin. Its winter time and even though we have lots of snow I want more. Robert is getting huge it will be interesting to see how he's grown when we go in next month for his 18 month check up. I can't believe that he is that big already. I can't believe that I am almost 22 weeks pregnant. We found out that we are having a Little girl so that will be lots of fun. We also found out that in her umbilical cord(SP?) she only has two vesicles instead of 3 so the will be checking my progress with extra ultrasound starting in 8 weeks then every 4 weeks till she is born. They will be looking at her kidneys to make sure that they are developing properly, and looking at her growth to make sure its all appropriate to them. So far shes a doing really well and everything is healthy she almost a pound and her kidneys are looking just fine. The doctor is not worried and neither is are we so hopefully it will stay that way. Matt is working his buns off. Right now he has the night shift from midnight to 8 a.m. and has about 8 calves every night. It has been nice to have him home during the day Robert sure likes it too. At the end of this week he is going to a hunting conference in Pennsylvania to help his brother with their outfitting. His taxidermy business is doing really well and we hope it will continue to boom. Hope everyone is doing great, we miss you all!

Matt's Badger he Taxidermied.

Heres a Bob Cat he did. He also made the rock and the ground the badgers on.

It's been a long time since I've updated. Lets see whats been going on. Robert turned one. I can't believe he is that old know. It seems like yesterday that he was born. He has two teeth and one coming in on top. He's running all over the house, well the area he can anyways. Its starting to snow and get really cold here so we need to pull out the winter stuff. Matt is swamped with working for his boss and taxidermy which is good because he has gotten many new clients in this year and i would say that he has tons of animals that he is doing. A lady from Toas, New Mexico is bringing him Yack to tan, they are huge. Hopefully we can get him a shop built next year so he wont be working out of his bosses burnt out house. We are currently planing to go to My parents for Christmas this year and we are both really excited. I found out a little while ago that I'm pregnant. Yep, i'm Due June 12. I have my first doctors appt. on 12th of this month so hopefully everything is going well. I am about eight weeks now. Hopefully I can also put on some weight by the time of my appt. too. Thats about it for now i'll try to post some more pictures later. it will be hard because we have lost our camera. pray we find it. hope all is well and we miss everyone!

Updates:
We are back in the windy Colorado weather. I have been sunburned on more than one occasion already. Its good to be home but we hope that our home will be in soon. We are staying with Matt's family right now until the home Matt's boss bought us is put in and all hooked up. It is nice to relax and not have school worries anymore, well until Fall. Matt is glad to be back and his taxidermy is really going good for him. I think right now he has about three foxes and one bobcat in and he has many more animals coming. Robert, well he's crazy. He crawls really well now and know how to climb up on things and is starting to learn that one a little to well for my liking. He is getting braver and will walk along the couch until he comes to where you are sitting. If you are on the ground he will then let go of the couch and what i like to think is his way of throwing himself to you which is really just him Turing and falling into you. Sometimes we can get him to stand on his own for a few seconds. Before i know it he will be walking. I'm excited for the reunion and can't wait to see everyone. I'm also excited because I was able to find a good price on a plane ticket to get me to Melissa's Graduations so that should be fun. I've found our camera so hopefully it wont be as long to my next post. hope all is well with everyone. Oh by the way Trisa what are you naming my new niece? oh and i was hoping Janet would add me to her list so i could see her blog my e-mail is Jenn756@hotmail.com

One evening a couple of weeks ago I walked in, well actually I turned around, but I found Robert in that first video trying to crawl. He now can crawl, more like worm his way to things. I had a video of this too but for some reason it wont upload, i'll have to try it again later. The second video is of Robert yesterday. Matt and I were watching the Testment, I turned around i don't remember why but this is what we found. Robert was trying to get the saltine crackers that we had got from a resturant the night before. We had placed them on his walker and he just climbed right up to get them. I can't believe it. Dr. Smith said that he would be walking before 12 months but i didn't think it would be this soon. Hes only 6 1/2 months old for goodness sakes. My little guy is trying to be a big guy too soon for me. Oh well its fun to see him grow and at least hes healthy.

Robert can now roll over and hold his bottle with a little help from mom and ever once and a while he will drop it and we have to give it back but other than that he does really well. Also he can get his little bum in the air with his legs underneath him but he doesn't realize that his face needs to also be up and his arms supporting him right now he sticks his face on the ground and then pushes his legs underneath himself its cute. i can't wait but when i think about it i think that i can but i guess it will happen eventually.

Beware gross leg pic and robert pictures

2009-02-03T17:31:00.000-08:00

These pictures were all taken with my cell phone so good luck. I think most are pretty good.

this is what happens when you have no stomach muscles and you ride a horse that you have to off set its running with all you weight on you left leg. This is what happened when i rode a horse for the first time after i had Robert and the horse i was using runs to her right so to keep her straight you have to keep pulling her to your left and useing alot of your own weight to do so. i was not wearing my cowboy boots so this is what happen i rubbed it raw and through a couple layers of skin i know have a big purple scar when it get cold where that was.

This has to be one of my favorite pictures of robert and i can't believe i got it with my cell phone. he loves this cow. this cow is what helped him to learn to roll over. he likes it so much i would place it out of reach and he would roll to reach it now he gets it and just chews the ears because it is the only thing to get his mouth into like right now he is trying eat my arm but its not working for him. i love it though

this is another one of my new favorites. i just stuck a diper wipe on his head it really cute huh.

Robert has learned to twist and turn while on his back and the other day i put him to bed but had to let him cry and he wouldn't fall asleep and i finally went to get him and this is what i came into he had twisted 90 degrees to the right and scooted up to the bars of Grandma Clarks crib. needless to say he was very grateful to see mom and fell asleep 2 minutes later in my arms. then i went and put him back in this crib and i think when he woke up he was not very pleased to be back in the crib.

and this was his said face that i took and sent to melissa because i was talking to her and i thought it was cute this was his auntie melissa i miss you face.

He's just so cute even with drewl(SP?). Sorry about the Blurry Picture.

Matt decided to change ties with Robert before we went to church. It was kinda funny.

oh doesn't he sleep so good. i like it when hes sleeping i can get something done.

Here was our Christmas Tree this year. It was a good Christmas. We have pictures of Robert opening pictures but they are on his parents camera so i have to get them from them for a later post.

This is what my handsome baby looks like when hes happy. He doesn't play well by himself yet so i usually see this right after i feed him.

This is what he looks like when he cries just about any time. I'll have to get a video of his cute cry though. but i love to see this i think hes so cute and he probably is thinking mom why wont you just feed me or hold me what ever he is crying for.

this face he usually does right after he wakes up and realizes that he is hungry. i haven't yet been able to capture the one where his lips are the same but there is no tongue but this one is still just as cute to me.

other than that Robert is doing well. He eats a lot and i was told by his pediatrician that i should not give him more than 5 oz per feeding but his father thinks other wise so he eats about 6 oz a feeding when dad makes the bottle and feeds him and when i do it is only 5 oz. Is that normal? for those who knew how much there babies ate with formula at this age. he even seems more hungry now like he wants more. I also think that he is starting to sleep through the night. night being 9 or 10 to 5 or 6 in the morning. and he is starting to stay awake more in the days.

We will be blessing him the first of November so i should if i can find our camera i should have more pictures coming soon. hope all is well

Roberts Check Up

2008-10-13T12:11:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the doctor and she confermed what i thought i wasn't producing enough milk for him no matter what i tried so its to formula we go. he takes a bottle pretty good. he was born weighing 7 lbs 9 1/2 oz and now after a mounth he weighs 8lbs 4oz. othe than that she said he looked really good. she even said his eyes reacted to light really well wich was a good sign for me because matts eyes are terrible and mine are not to good eaither. i'll have to find my camera to put some pictures on and a little video. you may not like the video its just him sitting around with his eyes open but i like it. oh and for katherine my husband gets home on the 16 thursday he will have been gone 8 days.

Random Thoughts

2008-10-11T18:42:00.000-07:00

I've been thinking today that if i were a single mom i would go crazy. Matt is off hunting and i am at his parents house staying because i don't like to stay in our little town by myself. scary story from the other night i'll tell that later. Since i'm at his parents house and his parents are getting more cows out of the moutians this weekend i am home alone. It has been very very windy the past few days and today it came in and we had a thunder and lighting storm not to mention that it is staring to get really cold. sitting around today i got to thinking that i don't know how single mom or parents for that matter do it. now i haven't done anything bad but my son has been driving me nuts i didn't know how much matt helped when he got home or was just here at night. It is great to have someone to ask to take over if you get to annoyed, not having that option is not fun. so guess i have to say thank you to my husband for being there and thank you to heavenly father who has blessed me with a great husband who will take over if i ask.
Ok the scary story( not really that scary)
I was in the mountains last weekend overnight and my husband and i well just matt were helping his parents bring a different set of cows out of the mountians. I went because i didn't want to be at the house alone. well the first night we were there at a camper alone not to bad but our son who was there too decided that he was going to have a bad night. i was going to stay the next night but decided that it was to hard and i was able to get a ride back to our apartment. i got home at 9:30 p.m. and got ready for bed then got my little one to sleep and went to bed myself. at 1 in the morning i get a knock on my door. it was the police. i leave my light on in the front room where i nurse at night and i think they thought that was odd. There was a fugitive on the loose and they said that he had gone into one of the homes back where i lived. needless to say he wasn't in my home ( i know because i had them look better they find him then me) and i was scared out of my mind the rest of the night and next day till matt got home. now however i will never stay at my apartment at night alone again. that is why i am up at matts parents house and i am borde out of my mind because i have nothing to do but try and get my little one to sleep and stay sleeping when he is supposed to. But i guess it is time for me to get ready for bed. i hope everyone is doing well and mom or melissa need to post the pictures of melissa at homecoming. come on i want to see you all dolled up.

Matt's First Hunting Trip of 08

2008-09-28T17:14:00.000-07:00

My Husband went hunting when my mom was here to help with right after the baby was born. When he arrived at the camp, his brother his wife dad and two friends had been at since Friday when Robert was born, He went off on his own and found this Buck bedded down. He waited for a broad side shot and was able to kill this buck with his first shot. He was shooting his Muzzle loader. Now we have lots of deer meat to eat this next year. We will have to see what his next hunt will bring. That one is not till October 9th but he is going for Elk. (I prefer elk to deer but that's just me it also brings a lot more if he kills a big one.) My husband wanted you all to see this buck though it is the biggest buck he has ever killed it has a width of 31 1/2 inches pretty big.

Sorry still no pictures, my husband has been taking the camera with him to school so i haven't been able to take any pictures off it. I have not had the baby yet but would have liked it very much if he had come two nights ago. I was released from the hospital on saturday and decided that even though i was not up for the three hour drive i was not going to be anytime soon so i told my husband to take me home anyway. i made it half way doing very well then my back started to hurt and i had to lay down in the back to try an ease the pain. We made it home and i took a hot bath and went to sleep. that was the best sleep i had in ten days. Sunday i was able to go almost all day without taking a pain pill which made me happy because i can't breast feed if i am on the medicine. the down fall was that i did have a pain attack and the medicine didn't work and Matt had to take me back to the hospital after an 1 1/2 hours of pain. We though that they would hook me up to an IV and give me something for the pain but instead i had to wait almost 3 hours before my doctor even came to see me. ( she was on call and in a delivery) once she did come see me she had the nurse give me a shot in the rear that had a seditive in it because my pain was so high. I was released the next day with my pain undercontrol and i have not had to take a pain pill yet. hopefully i can keep it to where i don't need them. other than that i am home resting but the baby is doing good. If i can make it to next week the doctor said that she would have no problem inducing him if i have to continue on the medicine hopefull he will come on his own though. oh well we will take it one day at a time. love jen

Sorry i don't have any pictures yet and I'm not sure if this will even post but here we go.
Since the family reunion i have been doing alot and yet not so much. My Husband has been attending Taxidermy school in Canon City, Colorado about three hours from our home. He has really enjoyed himself and i'm glad that he can be doing something that he enjoys so much. While he has been gone i have been at His parents house so i wouldn't be alone and incase something happened i would be close to the hospital. We were hoping that nothing would happen and i would just have a relaxing time waiting two months for him to finish school. Well that was not the case Last week on tuesday night i was having some back pains that i didn't think much of till the next morning about 4 am. my back started to hurt again and i couldn't sleep by ten in the morning i was calling my husband at school and my parents to see what i should do they told me to call the doctor so i did. my doctor told me to come in so she could make sure it wasn't pre term labor. Thankfully it wasn't however they thought that i may have a bladder/kidney infection. She perscribed me some antibiotics and pain meds and sent me home, by the time i made it there the pain was tramendous and the medicine wasn't working again call Matt and my parents i call the doctor and she had me addmetted to the Hospital and that is where i have been the last week. I though that i had four weeks till my baby would be here and now i am coming to the realization that next tuesday if my babys lungs are mature i may be induced and have him in a week. They think that i may have kidney stones but they don't see any one the ultrasounds and i still have pain and blood in my urine. I am in the hospital in Colorado Springs where i was flown when the Alamosa hospital could figure out what was going on with me. Right now i am doing good trying to control the pain and hooked to an IV which gives me fluids and iron. Hopefully i can keep the pain under control and i will have to post an update soon. we hope that i'll get better before next week but everyday i'm in the hospital it looks like the baby will be coming hopefully he will be ok and able to handle coming early. I love you all and thanks for the prays from those who have known and i'm sure from those who just found out. I'll let you know more when i do. Love jen!

Well the pictures still are not working so i guess everyone will have to suffer for a little less then a month i am headed to Mom and Dads on the 8th of July so i can see everyone a little longer the week of the reunion. I went to the Doctors last week and they weighed me and said that i am now 130 pounds. It is a little weird for me to weigh that much but everyone here tells me i look good. My little boy is very active and likes to kick alot it doesn't bug me till i go to bed but after a while i just fall asleep. He is starting to reach the lower ribs now which is weird to feel that and he gets what i think and the doctors said is the hic ups alot. its really fun. Mom sent me a fitted sheet for my play pen bed thing so i was bored the other day and wanted to see if it would fit so when my husband can home our room had all the baby things in the pen he just looked at me and said a little early but hey what can i say i was boarde (that doesn't look spelled right but oh well) Matt is working very hard which is really good but annoying he says that he is working for the hospital because that is where all our money goes. hopefull we can find a way to get the bills paid faster. Other than that every thing is going good i can't wait to see everyone at the reunion! well i'd better go i have to get to town then home to make dinner. hope i can post sooner. Loves hugs and kisses!

Problems

2008-05-10T18:04:00.001-07:00

OK so I've been trying to get the pictures onto blogger but for some reason it is not responding. so i was going to get pictures of my belly and apartment on here but as you can see no luck. More news though is for mothers day my wonderful husband got me a new bed. now i don't have to crawl off my air mattress and get out of bed which is getting harder all the time. I think its funny i have a little belly but lots of things are getting harder for me to do. I don't know why but for some reason i have already started to waddle so we see what happens as time goes on. Other than the hospital bills for Matt and I life is going. nothing really new oh my husbands truck broke which is ridiculous because we are still pay for it but we cant afford to fix it i think its time to sell it but who knows somehow it will all get fixed. I was checking our bank today see how much money we don't have and it hit me i don't know how but somehow we always have the money we need to get by. I know its because we pay our tithing. so keep paying everyone it works especially when you need it too. hopefully soon i can get the pictures on the blog i have been trying i promise.

My Geology teacher showed us this in class Matt and I thought it was pretty funny.

Silly Rabbit Trix are for Kids!

2008-03-13T08:33:00.000-07:00

This is what that Stupid rabbit we ran into did to our car. For those who haven't heard the story Matt and I were heading to school one morning ( 3:30 A.M.) when all the rabbits are out. We had passed like 8 other rabbits some were scared and ran along the snow bank along side us but none were close enough to hit. We turn the corner heading toward HWY 30. ( I think that's the Highway) We were going along when Matt and I saw this Rabbit it was about 50-100 yards ahead of us and it ran across the road no problem it could have keep running but for some stupid reason it turned around and ran again across the road at our car. The night before we had seen a rabbit and it was running along side our car like this one and all Matt had to do was speed up and it ran off the road ( which made me ball everything makes me ball) so Matt thought if he speed up the Rabbit would just stop or it would turn around. That was not the case with this bunny we hit him at about 5o mph. this is the result.

Here's our Trophy. We've left this in our car, it's funny to see people walk by when they don't know your in the car. This one Guy did a double take walked back talking to himself out loud saying " A Bunny?" then he crouched down next to it to get a better look that was the funniest.

Too Much SNOW!!!

2008-02-19T17:44:00.000-08:00

heres a picture of how much snow we have here.

2008-02-19T17:41:00.001-08:00

This is one of the sunsets that Matt and I drive home to everyday. we really liked it. hope you all do too.

Lets go Sleading

2008-02-19T17:36:00.000-08:00

this was lots of fun i we went before we found out i was pregnant. we went to the sand dunes and we found this massive hill that i could never beat matt to the top of everytime i was close eaither he would reach up and pull me down or i would slip in the snow. i had to borrow clothes from aunt ann to go but it was worth it and lots of fun.

2008-02-19T17:30:00.000-08:00

This is what our lovely car looks like after it has been washed. Sorry its been so long hopefully it wont take so long for other post now. We ordered a lap top from dell and that is how i was able to get these on but i just have to be at school. Anyways this is our car its really good. It does excellent in the snow the only thing wrong is that we have a crack in the windshield that has spread almost across the whole windshield.

How big is baby.

2008-02-03T11:27:00.000-08:00

ok so may be i can't get it to work but i'll keep trying. I found this interesting thing on babycenter.com that you see how big your baby is each week. its called from poppy seed to pumpkin. I liked it i don't know if i can get a link to it or not. but i'll keep trying.
if i go right to the page this is what pops up in my address bar maybe this will work i don't know.

UPDATE

2008-01-29T17:37:00.000-08:00

Sorry for not updating in a while. This post will have to be without picture for now until we can see if grandmas will take pictures maybe we will have to go to Michelle's or something. Any way Matt and I have settled into grandmas which is really nice except for driving at 3:30 in the morning to get to work everyday. We try and see Michelle Matt and the boys more often but we are really busy with everything at school its really hard to see them. Our days are filled with going to school trying to find time to eat getting homework done then going home to sleep. Matt is on a Battleship team, that's when a bunch of 4 person teams get into canoes and try to sink each other with buckets its really fun to watch but it puts us home really late so i get really tired a lot of the time i have two classes that i am constantly trying to not fall asleep in. Not to mention I found out i was Pregnant. I think everyone knew that but if you didn't I'm pregnant, according to the health center the baby should come in September. I haven't seen the doctor yet so we'll see what he says then i go on the 13th so it will be exciting. Michelle wants me to have a girl and the Chinese calender say i will but i want a boy. oh well we see what happens. anyways life is going good i was sick for the first time Sunday but that was because i took a shower before i ate so hopefully as long as my stomach is full i will be OK. anyways i hope all is well with everyone I'll try to post pictures soon.

Heres what the snow looks like.

heres what we got for christmas some of matts pants and some other things he got from mom are cut out of this picture but the is basically what we got. Love you all Merry Christmas. Happy new year.

2007-12-09T16:11:00.000-08:00

Here's our Christmas Adventure. We went up past that Reservoir lake looking thing and it was snowing and really really cold. The snow was 6 to eight inches but it was getting deeper the farther we went up.. We went looking for this tree and found some across this river that looked really good bushes all around i was wearing irrigating boots so i could walk across and Matt was wearing hunting boot that could get wet but not in really deep water. We got all the way to the trees that we were going to get but looked across the river and we saw the perfect tree it was kinda sickening but i walked right into the river and started to cross but my husband said it was too deep for him so i keep going and he found another place to cross. Anyways you see the tree we got its a really nice tree but its really poky. we cut down a little one next to it to tell everyone that it was the one we got it was a nice trees too. then Matt drug it to the truck and we loaded it and it fell out twice on the way home but we finally got it here. I had to go to town to get the ingredients for dinner tomorrow because I'm feeding the missionaries so while i was there i got a few ornaments and some lights and a star for the top. Matt and I got back home made a tree stand and decorated our Tree and this was the end Product. nice huh. it was lots of fun.

The Monday from where the Devil Lives!!!!

2007-12-04T06:53:00.001-08:00

These were taken yesterday after work. Yesterday was our longest day yet we loaded 5 trucks and i was getting really tired. it didn't help that i think I've been losing my mind these last few days that or I'm pregnant and don't know it. I've been losing everything and Our Verizon bills, my phone, my purse, etc. the were all where i usually put them but i couldn't find them except the Verizon bills i still have yet to find them. Oh and i kinda did the same thing Michelle did about the hoggie sandwich of Matt's But i was upstairs and i put on my normal shoes so if we went to the store after or before work i wouldn't look like i had humongo feet. I told my self that i needed to get my boots and i went downstairs and walked right past my boots and out the door so i had to work in my little brown slip on shoes which was freezing and not very sturdy. anyways i was at work and i did good all day until our 5th and last truck i had to start the belt that takes the sorted small potatoes to the dump truck it started fine then i went to get back on the sorter. i got on and this is what happened my feet some how gave out from under me and my chin collided with the metal sorter this cut looks little in the pictures but what i did was smash my chin and skin it bruise it and the little cut is where i spilt it open pretty good not to mention i surprised that i didn't break any teeth or that i didn't bite my tongue off because i bit my tongue and that was what i think prevented me from breaking any teeth. and now my boss called its 8:06am and i go to work in 1 hour not happy not at all.

Demon Kitties

Tag hmmm well see what happens.

2007-11-27T08:44:00.000-08:00

It seems I've been tagged. The only problem is that you are the only people that are on my blog so unless i tag someone again i don't think i will be continuing the tag but i will do it.

6 truths or Habits hmmmm...

1. I feel bad for my Husband who tries to make sure we have everything we need to make it in this life and all i can do is get a potato sorting job with really weird hours. I have tried and applied at different places but the only thing is this potato job.

2. My husband and I might have a home next spring (thanks to his boss) however, the home will be 21 miles from where i am now. That doesn't seem very far but when you don't know anyone and the only people you have made friends with are here its really far. Matt knows that i would like to stay here, but with the price of diesel being 3.61 a gallon we need to be close to work we have to fill our truck every 15 days that takes about 120$ every time. I wish we had a little car.

3. Its really really cold here the snow still has yet to melt and the other morning we woke up and it was -14 way to cold for me. Did i mention that we sort potatoes outside even in the snow blizzards??? I have been lucky I haven't had to work in the snow yet but today we'll see if the Trucks make it.

4. I know we all get tried in life but I'm hoping that i can endure all the things that we( Matt and I) have. We have to pay off his truck, his grandma, his mom, his hospital bills, and try to pay for school this Winter. Matt makes about 900$ a month and me maybe 200 at most. its a good thing that we don't have to pay rent yet. Oh and that's not including the taxes his boss takes out.

5. I miss every one a lot. I really wanted to go home for thanksgiving and well it's a good thing we didn't plan that Matt got sick. I really want to come home for Thanksgiving and see every one but the way everything cost i don't think that's going to happen either. i don't even know how we'll make it up to school. I love seeing pictures of the kids on your blogs i miss them all tons, they are all getting so big.

6. I'm really sad that all these are sad. i wish i could be the bearer of good news like i was pregnant so something but I'm not to my knowledge. did that make any sense. hmm lets think of 6 good things that what they said in Relief Society Sunday that you need to think of a good thing for every negative. hmmm 1. My Husband is wonderful and works with no complaint. 2. hmm At least I'll have a place of my own hopefully with some added joys sooner rather than later. 3. We're getting the moisture that we need which is really good and its fun to throw snowballs at my crippled husband cause i can for now at least run faster than he can throw back:) 4. We pay our tithing so I know that every thing will turn out and i don't worry very much about it. 5. hopefully I'll see you all real soon :) At least i can see you on the blogs. 6. I'm glade that i can think of positive things for all the negative i wrote.

Now all the others who were tagged need to do the same. :) Love you ALL!!!

2007-11-26T15:13:00.000-08:00

Well Matt is doing great. He actually went to work today. Its really good that he did because we need the money but i kind of liked him home all day. I think i need a place of my own but i guess well have to see about that one. I hope every ones thanksgiving went well ours was OK. The pumpkin pie was disappointing i wish i had Michelle's but when you don't make it yourself that's what you get. oh and the turkey was cold but other than that we had a nice thanksgiving. i hope Matt and I can make it up for Christmas when is everyone coming? If not hopefully we can make it up sometime to see everyone. Being poor stinks mom when are you going to win the Lottery??? I'm waiting. No, I'm just kidding new experiences are always fun. Love you all. got to go cows a calling. Just kidding :)

2007-11-22T11:40:00.000-08:00

This is what my husband looks like after surgery. Much different from me he was happy once the pain was controlled. He did in fact have acute appendicitis. I guess well have to see how much this puts us in the hole but at least my honey feels better. Now we're off to Thanksgiving Dinner.

2007-11-22T11:36:00.000-08:00

This is one of the sunsets we had a few days ago Matt's Dad loves to take pictures but he wasn't home to get this one so he told matt to take it. Pretty huh!

2007-11-22T11:31:00.000-08:00

Here are some of the little piglets that we may get. Cute huh. The picture with the piglets running the one sticking its head out of the fence is Matts Favorite he thinks that one is the Cutest.

A Friend Dies Here Too

2007-11-08T16:44:00.000-08:00

Like our Rainbow. This was taken close to the last week we were up

in the mountians

2007-10-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

This is what our garden gave us this year we had 23 canned jar of beans, the corn we have already eaten but other than the peas which we harvested the whole time they were growing this is what we got out of the Garden.

2007-10-30T09:07:00.000-07:00

These would be my husbands hunting kills. They are both really nice but really tiny compared to his brother's. However we only got a little bit f meat from his bull because they both spoiled.

2007-10-24T09:09:00.000-07:00

This is our first cows. Of course we have to have pink it's Matt's favorite color. This was the day it was miserable to preg. test the cows it was winds up to 60 miles per hour the corral was sandy so we got sand blasted the whole day.

2007-10-24T08:59:00.000-07:00

This is our garden. We harvested alot from it which was really good and i guess it was unusual how well it did. We got pumpkins, carrots, beans, peas, squash, radishes, and onions. It was fun to harvest it in the end oh ya we got corn too.

2007-10-23T17:49:00.000-07:00

This is when Matt taught me to change a tire. I have different opinion.

2007-10-23T08:39:00.000-07:00

Hey this is Matt and I trying to get the same picture that mom and dad did but at the end of the year so you could see the change in the leaves. how we do?
