THE BIG HOUSE MOVE!!!!!!

It was finally here the time to move the house, they started early in morning at 7:00am it was so exciting, they told us the house would take 6-7 hours to move. the highway patrol showed up and it was time to get the show on the road. the movers intermountain house movers closed down off ramps in tremonton and what up them, unsure if the house would fit under the overpass on I-84 but it made it, the house moved at 15mph and they're were many times workers got out and checked on clearance on both sides of the house. it arrived about 3:00pm and it seemed to safely arrive. the foundation was not yet poured(waiting on the slow ass county to give me a building permit)!!!! so house is sitting waiting for basement to be poured!

this week was crazy! we decided to go to park city for out 9 year anniversary, well we ended up taking the kids, not so romantic but tons of fun. we stayed in a condo, went swimming, and hung out in downtown park city. it was good to get away before the house started the big move, hopefully I will post pitures soon of the move of the house!

I have not blogged in so long..... so busy with school and work and the house and so on, anyhow my paramedic program is going well, It is very stressful to work 4, 12 hour shifts a week go to school try to be a fabulous mom to fabulous kids and a good wife which my husband definately deserves. anyhow our house is underway, we bought a house from IHC and the house is being moved out to our ranch. so much stress, I actually got in a yelling fight with the lady at the planning and zoning office, I think both of us think the other is a witch with a b! thank goodness to my husband and friends that calm me down, and definately my awsome dad who always tells me to take a deep breath and things will be better in the morning! I will post pics of the progress on the house and the land, the basement is excavated and the footings poured, we have an awsome concrete guy, joel murry does great work and has really good sub contractors I would recommend him to anyone! here is a shout out to landis lanford anyone who needs excavating work in box elder county definately use him!!!!! anyhow I will get back to studying and keep everyone updated on our home progress :)

Abby finally got her birthday pitures done what a cute girl she is. she was so happy she never even cried, she smiled on all the pitures, it was so cute.

we are so lucky to have such a cute little girl.

Wyatt's first wrestling match (look at that intesity)

and yes he did win!

baby abby is now a 1 year old! we had a great birthday party for her
we roasted marshmellows and went swimming, her brother and sister were there and life was great. hailey did very well in this years rodeo queening competition she took 1st attendant in the mini miss division. she loved every minute of it, she is doing so well riding her horse but she really just loves putting on the makeup. we finally got jess's ticket cleared up thankfully the judge lowered the speed by 2o miles and we only had to pay $157 dollars, plus 15 hours of community service, I was pleased to say the least. will post pitures of wyatt's wrestling competition he did so well, I was a proud mama yelling louder than any of the other moms!

It has been sooooo long since I posted any comments. it is great that summer time has finally come. hailey has her first rodeo queening contest this friday we are really excited. still waiting to find out how jess's ticket has come along. this pass month we moved into a new house, waiting for our other house to be complete. change is good but hard moving and having to pack up everything. jess and I went to vegas this pass month and what a good time we had!!!! no kids, just fun we loved it. everyone should have a weekend with no kids in vegas every once in a while. hailey went to cheer camp in tremonton this week, I can't believe how big my girl is getting, it seems like she was just a toddler a few months ago, she finally sprouted legs, nothing like her mom with short stubby legs!

our family had a great weekend this week. It was branding time and we loved it! we branded a large group of calves and wyatt got to rope for his first time off the horse. he did great we were so excited. calves looked good getting ready to go to summer pasture. I got kicked in the knee while trying to give vaccinations, hurt like hell! abby enjoyed watching from grandmas lap, and hailey had fun trying to rope the calves and play with her cousin todd. jess got a ticket this week going 106 on the snowville flats, I know I have already yelled at him, he feels bad, hopefully he the ticket will be reasonable in price, but at 106 mph I doubt it. anyhow will post pics of the branding later this week

today is junior rodeo and wyatt is excited, he is really becoming a good roper!!!! hopefully the goat will be a little smaller than last time and he will be able to throw him down! hailey is sure she wants to ride a sheep today at the rodeo, but she had her tonsils out last week, I pretty sure that riding sheep is not on the approved list of things to do. anyhow we docked lambs on saturday(also known as removing the testicles of a lamb) the kids got all bloody and loved it, jess's mom and brother cooked up the testies to eat but I would have none of that!!!! I have decided to start taking a few classes for my bachelors I am not happy about it but in the long run it will probably help, jess is going to have to help me on stats and that should about as much fun as getting hit by a truck!

I haven't left any blogs in the last week or so, been pretty busy around the place, anyhow took the girls to see disney on ice it was so much fun! Hailey thought the princesses were beautiful and the skating was great. even baby abby was clapping her hands. thanks to hayley at work for the amazing tickets!!!!! wyatt had his first wrestling match in dayton Idaho it was so fun, as soon as he started to wrestle I turned into the yelling and cheering mom I was so proud he did great he won his second match and I haven't seen him this happy in a long time. Jess couldn't be there he was working but I think jess was just as happy if not more, it was so cute what a good dad!

The ranch has picked up speed these last few weeks, we currently are at 3 lambs, one goat, several horses, several cows, and now a new baby pig! Wyatt has picked out his bucket calf that he will be showing at the fair, he is so cute wyatt and hailey named him cutie. Hailey is having surgery tommorow, she needs her tonsils out so hopefully so will be on the mend soon!

happy easter! it is sunday night and what an eventful easter, the easter bunny brought wyatt, hailey, and abby a new trampoline. it was great hailey jumped for hours she was so exhausted, which is rare for that girl. unfortunately abby had to go to the er, she was vomiting for the last 2 weeks and jess just didn't think he could stand seeing his little girl throw up again(what a good dad) I put an IV in, got it on the first try thankgoodness I don't think I could of poked her time and time again! I heard wyatt and hailey say the funniest thing this morning, hailey told wyatt that when he gets married he can kiss with tounge, and then wyatt said well not too much toungue thats kind of gross and hailey agreed. I had to laugh where do these kids get this stuff!
anyhow wyatt was feeling bad this week he was trying to practice goat tying on one of the baby lambs and he knows better trust me, anyhow when he sat on him he heard his leg crack and sure enough he broke his leg! he cried for a few hours that he hurt the lamb he is a sweet boy so I casted the lambs leg and he was good as new!

This week was great! wyatt and hailey had their first junior rodeo, it was so exciting to see both of them compete. wyatt rodeo a sheep which didn't turn out so well for him, but his goat tying was much better. Hailey had the most adorable barrel racing shirt on she thought she looked beautiful and she did. she competed in pulling the ribbon off the goats tail and stick barrel racing.
our first phase of our remodel is almost done, will post pics of the house soon. our lambs have had a tough week, we had lost 5 lambs and sold one, hailey thought her heart was going to break because I sold one of her lambs, she just kept hugging it and kissing it, she cried for 30 min. it broke my heart I almost turned back around to get the lamb, but I told her there will be others!

well the new year has started and the family is off and running. we are so tired of the snow we can hardly wait for spring!!! calving season is just around the corner and we already have several new baby lambs and goats. wyatt and hailey are excited to ride their horses as soon as it gets warm and wyatt is looking forward to roping off his horse this year!
