Settling in

Well we are moved in and starting to settle in. Gracie has started riding the bus to school and thinks it's the coolest thing! I am glad she likes it since she is one of the 1st stops and rides for about 45 min before they are dropped off!

Brian is enjoying having a shop once again and is easily distracted from putting things away in it to seeing how many trails he can blaze with the Rhino on the property! Gracie of course is right there beside him! Her only concern is when her tree house is going to be built!

 

 

And yes we have had more gray rainy days than sunny....But the nice days are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am learning to live the glass is half full not half empty, be optimistic and enjoy the good days and deal with the soggy days (I don't think I will melt.)

 

In between un-packing I have gotten to go on a couple rides with some friends of mine. Twister is enjoying getting out and having something to do outside of the arena. We are looking forward to this year's show season and cut some cows!

 

 

 



Moving in

Well we are moving into our new place finally! I forgot just how much fun buying a house is, not! Its been a rollercoaster thats for sure but it's ours now! I will post pictures later after we get moved in, we have a fair amount of work to do right away (floors, painting ect.) Gosh, didn't we just do all this..... :) life is an adventure so why sit still right?

Reverse

Well, she is not quite crawling yet, BUT she has reverse totally mastered! She may need to check her mirrors next time so she does not find herself wedged under the cabinet....

More projects to come soon!

Well we think we have found "the place!" Yeah I know we have said that before but hopefully we mean it this time and by golly sure gonna give it our best shot!

We are purchasing a home in Monroe on 18 acres! It's a work in progress type of place (only 2 1/2 acres are actually cleared). No horse barn or arena.....But lots of stuff for Brian to cut down, bulldoze and make a mess of to build me one!!! :) And it has a toy box for Brian!

Gracie is getting ready to start kindergarten at her new school this week too! She is super excited that she will get to ride a school bus! She will be attending all day kindergarten but only 3 days a week, so that will be quite a change but she loves school and would probably go 7 days a week all day if they let her!!!!

SO as progress continues we will keep ya posted!

Back in Washington!

Well it's a New Year so time to catch up on the last couple of weeks! For anyone who did not know, we have moved from Utah back to Washington! The move was fairly uneventful.... only a couple hiccups! We are happy to be back! :)

The girls had a wonderful perpetual Christmas with their Grandma's and Grandpa's!

Now that the holidays are over we are ready for the adventures that 2013 will be bringing! We have our business up and rolling. We are on the hunt for a new home (again)! :)

 

BEST Friends!

We are down to our last week in Utah so Gracie and her best buddy have been having LOTS of play-dates. The girls wanted to play at our house and I thought perfect, Gracie will be playing and I can get some packing done! Of which I did, then it dawned on me that most all of the toys were already packed..... Then I peaked out the window and remembered my child has an imagination as big as the world (and so does her friend)!

Santa

Took the girls to see Santa, Gracie had been looking forward to it all week long and asking each day after school what day we were going..... Finally Friday night arrived! Amongst all the chaos of packing I failed to notice what Gracie had put in her purse as we got in the car to leave. She stood in line so patently and quietly, and then when it was her turn she unloaded her "list." Her list was cut out pieces from my Teskeys catalog (horse goodies). She had filled an entire zip-lock bag! She jumped up on Santa's lap and took each one out and handed them to Santa. Santa studied each one very carefully and made note of them all!

 Presley however was not so sure about this guy in a red suit that she had been handed off to....

 Even though she looks as she is about to cry, we got through her 1st Santa visit with no tears!
